Givedaddys Giveaway Blog

Congratulations to elsaodette, winner of the Family Vitamin Pack giveaway!

It’s summer time and that means the kids are out of school. Looking for ways to keep them entertained? Givedaddy has a few prizes in this week’s Kid’s Fun Prize Pack that they’ll love!

You could win these neat kid’s prizes:

• Tickle Me Plant
• Scholastic books
• Ant-O-Sphere

Tickle Me Plant

Have you ever seen a plant move its branches and leaves, when you tickle it? Grow your very own Tickle Me Plant and experience the joy of having a plant that moves when you touch it. Tickle Me Plants give children a positive experience growing plants and they grow beautiful pink flowers after several months.

 The winner will receive a 4 pack of Tickle Me Plant Seeds. We grew these and had a blast tickling them. They’d even close if you picked up the cup and moved it. Very sensitive! It’s so fun to do sciencey things with Max at his age (5). These are great for party favors or classroom activities.

Scholastic Books

Max Spaniel: Funny Lunch

David Catrow’s loveable spaniel is back! Readers will dine with delight as Chef Max serves up one hysterical meal after another at his very own diner. New readers will laugh-out-load as Max’s pizza pie special creates one wacky lunchtime.

Firehouse

Join Edward and his cousin Judy as they spend a hilarious day learning how to become firefighters. From a fire drill that leads to a slippery slide down a fire pole, to a hysterical battle with an out-of-control fire hose, Edward is in for an action-packed adventure. And when faced with a real emergency, can Edward save the day?

Max (my Max) is an avid reader these days (and reading all by himself, thank you very much). These books were engaging and fun to read together. I’ve long been a fan of Scholastic, so I’m glad they reached out to GiveDaddy so you can share them with your kids!

Ant- O – Sphere Starter Pod

A space-age ant colony, your child can observe his ants creating a colony in this cool habitat. Connectable, collectible sets let them build as big as their imagination will allow! The Ant-O-Sphere makes a great starter set or addition to the 8-pod set or Mayan Ant Invasion by International Playthings!

I totally handed this project over to my husband, lover of all things science related. I send him and Max off to find ants, and came back to find my antique record player covered with dirt! They collected a few ants, but no queen, so the experiment was a flop. Fortunately there are plenty of ants in our neighborhood, so they will try again. The kit is cool because you start with this pod and can add on to it, much like you would a hamster cage. One pod of ants is plenty for my household, thank you very much.

Congrats to brwndot, winner of the Yoga Retreat Prize Pack!

This week  we’re giving away some great products that your kids are sure to love. Keep your tiny tots entertained with these neat kid-friendly items.

The winner will receive:

• Yummy Dough
• Sprig Toys Garden Keeper Set
• $30 Toys-R-Us Gift Card

Yummy Dough Edible Play Dough

Yummy Dough is a multi-purpose toy! It’s a baking mix that cleverly combines two favorite childhood activities: creating designs with play dough and baking with mom. Mixed with water, the Yummy Dough powder turns into smooth, kneadable, easily shapeable dough which can be baked afterwards. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild molding the dough into creative figures as you bond together.

Max got to test it out and loved it. It starts as powder and you add water to moisten it (and it turns the powder a color). Play with it like any other dough…except you can eat it! I probably had more fun than he did making fun shapes. Bake it and it’s ready to eat.

Garden Keeper Set

The Garden Keeper set features flower pots, a seeded paper flower and a garden friend.  Support your local planet and grow wildflowers without worrying about chemicals that might leach from paint or plastics.  Sprig Toys are always safe for the environment and the little ones that occupy it.

$30 Toys-R-Us Gift Card

With this gift card you can get your little one exactly what he or she wants! Spend it in the store or online. Use it for a birthday present! Heck, we won’t tell if you use it for yourself to buy that Lego kit you’ve been eyeing!

Today we have an awesome giveaway from Sprig Toys. They are giving away a Baja Scout Vehicle from their Electronic Adventures Series to one lucky winner!

Sprig Toys is awesome. The toys are a far cry from the battery powered, noisy toys that have gathered dust at our house (and yours too I’m willing to bet). They stimulate creative play, and they’re made of recycled products and reclaimed wood to boot. Color me impressed.

The Baja Scout is full of spunk, eager to take Miki Flinders and a second Adventure Guide cruising the dunes.

Welcome to Hawker, Australia – headquarters for world-famous Adventure Guide Miki Flinders. Take the wheel on his next Outback Journey, and help Miki keep an eye out for wombats and bandicoots! Miki’s crazy Australian sayings are sure to keep you in stitches.

Playset Includes:

1 Baja Scout
1 Adventure Guide – Miki Flinders

This playset features story-telling, active play, imagination, and best of all there are no batteries required!

Congratulations to MAY, winner of the Oh Nuts giveaway!

When I went to Type A Mom, I was excited to see Sprig Toys set up. The toys are a far cry from the battery powered, noisy toys that have gathered dust at our house (and yours too I’m willing to bet). They stimulate creative play, and they’re made of recycled products and reclaimed wood to boot. Color me impressed. But do they stand up to our resident toy tester’s rigorous examination? Read on. But first, read more about Sprig Toys and their Story Building Barnyard that they want to give you.

Grab your hat! Ol’ Mac is up and ready for a day of work on the farm! Join Farmer Bernie and build your very own barnyard adventure! Easy to build panels and blocks allow preschoolers to build quickly. This earth friendly playset contains over 95 pieces of story-building fun.

Playset Includes:

24 Large Story Blocks
10 Small Character Blocks
1 Farmer Character with Removable Hat

The Review

This giveaway was a lot of fun to review. Our resident toy tester, Max, was very excited to see the different “friends,” as he called them, as well as the animals and barn parts. The kit comes in a flat box and you pop out the cardboard pieces. From there, the sky’s the limit. You can connect different pieces together to make your own story fun.

My only wish is that the cardboard pieces locked into the red plastic story blocks better. We moved them out of the way and had to reconstruct. Here’s Max’s take on it.
