Giveaway! Educational Toy from Discovery Toys!

 

Your baby has fun just chewing on the corners of an empty box (or is that just my baby who seems more like a puppy than a human at times?!). Your toddler would be content watching non-stop hours of Disney TV (not that you would EVER let that happen). But YOU feel like Supermom when you give your child a toy with the words "educational" and "imaginative" attached to it. This one's for you, Supermom...

 

Introducing Discovery Toys. Fun, interactive, quality learning toys for infants through early grade school. Based on my review of their website, it looks like most toys require our kids to use their imagination. Which means fewer batteries. And less loud, obnoxious, high-piercing noises. Unless, of course, those noises are coming directly from your kid.

What makes a good toy?

A well-chosen toy has tremendous benefits for your child. A good toy must:

• Nurture your child's ideas and imagination
• Be Fun, safe, and durable
• Grow with your child's changing interests
• Benefit your child's development
• Be challenging while allowing for success

 

"It is more important than ever to spend time with children, keeping the lines of communication open. Discovery Toys promotes family involvement ... adults sharing in the learning experience, offering insight and encouragement. Our mission is to provide children with the tools they need to build a better world. Your commitment helps to shape the next generation of bright, imaginative children and to prepare them to meet the challenges of the future."

 

Discovery Toys also offers moms an opportunity to host a party, and earn FREE products on safe, educational toys. Friends and free stuff. Sounds like a good time for all, and pretty simple if you're already a part of a mommy playgroup. Contact Lauren Erwin for more information.

 

Wanna Buy It?  Check out all the fun and educational toys for your budding genius at Discovery Toys. A portion of the proceeds is donated to Toys-for-Tots, "to deliver valuable learning moments to children in need."  They are currently having a summer sale, with savings up to 60%. 

Wanna Win It?  Lauren, a consultant for Discovery Toys, is offering one of my readers their choice of a great toy!  Based on the age of your child, choose one of the following toys for a toddler, or 4-6 year old:

 

HAMMER AWAY!  Watch your child get a bang out of learning with our "now you see it, now you don't" action toy. Builds eye-hand coordination and experience with cause-and-effect concepts. They happily hammer away - a safe release for that endless toddler energy. 13 1/2" x 7" x 8" (34cm x 18cm x 20cm). Appropriate from 19 months - Preschool

 

 

 

 

 

AB SEAS ALPHABET FISHING GAME.  Fishing for a fun way to teach the alphabet? This pop-up “sea world” is home to an underwater school of musical teacher-creatures! With a sturdy magnetic fishing-pole in hand, your child will easily reel in a catch of letters. As they match uppercase letters on humorous and colorful sea creatures to uppercase and lowercase letters on the game board, they develop letter recognition and phonics skills and turn-taking skills, too! Includes letters for the English, Spanish & French alphabets. 2 to 4 players. Expanded Parent Guide included. 10½" x 10¼" (27cm x 27cm) box. Appropriate from 4 years - Kindergarten
