Woot!! I can’t believe it is already August! Some of you that have been around a while, will remember back at the beginning of the year, I teamed up with a large number of other bloggers for a Blogtastic Extravaganza. It was a HUGE success and we are repeating this again NOW! Â You can see the full list of all the blogs and all the giveaway packages at the very bottom of the post — there are close to $15,000 in prizes!!
I have FIVE packages to giveaway!
Educational Insights Package #1 ($64.98)
The first item in package #1 is  Magnetic Art  from Educational Insights. This toy is AWESOME — it can literally keep a preschooler occupied for hours creating fun pictures and using their imagination. My son likes to play “cars” with it while my daughter loves creating fun pictures. It is a total blast!  (MSRP $24.99)
Next item in the first package is the Design and Drill Activity Center. Here is another item that a little one could easily spend hours playing with! It comes with a little drill and the child gets to design whatever he/she wants on the peg board — very fun! Â As with all Educational Insight items I have tried out, it is fun, educational and stimulating all at once. Â (MSRP $39.99)
Educational Insights Package #2 ($91.48)
This Animal Numbers Activity Center is one of my favorite items from Educational Insights. The kids love being able to match up the animals — PLUS, they are learning to count at the same time! Â Very fun, aesthetic and educational. (MSRP $31.49)
This is the jumbo version of the one I mentioned above and is perfect for those of you with two (or more) young kids. There are two power tools to use! The kids can create whatever they want on the peg board and it helps with coordination in addition to counting, colors and more. I cannot tell you enough how great the Educational Insight toys are, each and every one of them are geared towards making learning fun and they do!
(MSRP $59.99)
Simply Fun Package ($84.00)
Bank It! is a fun game for kids 6 and up. It uses the fun of playing a game to help kids learn basic math skills. Not only that but you are working towards earning money, SAVING MONEY, finding a good bargain and more — perfect to help get your kids grooved in on the bargaining ways! 😉
(MSRP $34)
Telling Time with Tibbar is a great way to help your little ones learn the basics of how a clock works — again these are fun tools to help make learning FUN.
(MSRP $22)
Of the three Simply Fun items that I was sent to review, this one was definitely my kids favorite! Â There are two sets of 7 large geometric pieces that you can place together in hundreds of various ways to make shapes! Â My kids are 3 and 4 and LOVED it.
There is a booklet of 80 suggested pictures that you can make with the shapes — they have the pictures and then the “answers” too so you can have a guide on how it all works! Â Â The kids really enjoyed playing with this and regularly ask to pull it out and play.
(MSRP $28)
Baby Genius Bundles ($50) – 2 winners
2 Winners will get the following package:
- Favorite Children’s Songs DVD/CD
- Baby Animals Favorite Sing-A-Longs DVD/CD
- Favorite Toddler Tunes 2 CD set
- Favorite Sing-A-Longs 2 CD set
- Favorite ABC’s & Counting Songs 2 CD set
These giveaways all end midnight on August 21st! Â 5 winners will be drawn on the 22nd and will have 24 hours after being contacted to claim their prize! Â There is only ONE mandatory entry which is that you subscribe to the Wheel n Deal Mama blog by email (note: you MUST confirm in email for this to count!). Â Â All other entries are optional.
