Melissa & Doug Mega Giveaway

Melissa & Doug Mega Giveaway

(Disclosure: This awesome post is a sponsored giveaway by Melissa and Doug, LLC. There are affiliate links within this post. The links provide a way for us to support our site and provide great ideas and content to you! Thanks for your support.)

I’m so excited to be apart of a group giveaway featuring not one but Two Toy Shopping Sprees from Melissa & Doug hosted by twenty other bloggers and myself. A big round of applause goes out to Rebecca from A Beautiful Ruckus for coordinating this giveaway.

Melissa & Doug Collage

I first became aware of Melissa & Doug a handful of years ago when Eldest or Princess were preschool age. I would keep my eye out at garage sales and mommy consignment sales just hoping to find an educational toy from Melissa & Doug.  They are high quality but also can come with a high price tag which has often been out of reach for our meager budget. Department store coupons and online sales have been a great secondary source in order for us to expand our collection.

We own some of the Lights and Sounds puzzles, the Bear Family and recently purchased the Wooden Stringing Beads set on sale for Princess (but I made her promise to share 1 entire set of letters with Lil’ Red for Preschool.)

I love how versatile these toys are, and I’m not the only one! The bloggers below have all partnered together to bring you this fantastic giveaway from Melissa & Doug! Each blogger writes in the “kid niche area” meaning that you can click through to any blog and find inspiration for play-based educational activities, arts, and crafts that your kids are sure to love! And each one of these bloggers is as fond of Melissa & Doug as I am because they see the value in encouraging kids to learn and explore at an early age while still making it fun!

Teach Beside Me / Makeovers and Motherhood / OMG There’s Three / Capri + 3
Sow Sprout Play / Something 2 Offer / Raising Lifelong Learners / Mama’s Learning Corner / Creative Learning Fun

This week we are featuring BUILDING TOYS! Oh, boy!  I am familiar with building toys from blocks to LEGO’s to Tinker Toys. I will be featuring building toys for boys and girls. Yes, both the famous and not so famous building toys will be explored this week. Now I have three builders who favorite mostly LEGO but not entirely. We have a variety of building toys that were actually forgotten about until getting ready for this post. I am quite amazed at what we have tucked away on the back porch. These toys will be great for the cold and rainy days that lay ahead.
