Be Ready For Play Everyday with PLAYSKOOL ~ Giveaway

I remember sweating. Sweating as I carried my daughter through the mall in her car seat because I didn’t dare disturb the baby who was actually happy in that seat. Though a toddler doesn’t seem heavy at first, once you add in a diaper bag, a purse, a winter coat a bottle and a small dose of fear, sweating is bound to happen due to the accumulated weight and pressure of the situation. All I wanted was to be a good Mama, to have a happy child, and to get my shopping done without incident. But, I’d forgotten to pack her favourite toys and I knew at some point tears were coming. Rookie mistake. I should have packed the big stroller, the big bag and then I could have packed all the toys I needed, but that big stroller was a pain! First world problems, sure, but I think we have all been there!

Fast forward a few years and I now have a nephew and some new little people in my world to love.  I’m also so happy to have discovered some simply fabulous toys that make life “out and about”- in the stroller, at the mall or when travelling – so much easier.  It’s the PLAYSKOOL Play, Stow and Go collection.  A lineup of products that easily and quickly allows playtime to happen anytime, anywhere. Featuring collapsible versions of playtime favourites, each item is designed for easier storage and even easier clean up.  Bonus:  The smaller pieces conveniently fit inside the toys for fewer missing parts.

Let me highlight three must-have holiday buys for you!

A family favourite in our house, that little red Elmo just became even better with Play All Day Elmo!

This cuddly and interactive Elmo toy has 150+ responses, plus eight games and activities to help keep kids engaged anywhere. When playtime is over, pre-schoolers or toddlers can cuddle with him while listening to a lullaby.  Such sweetness.

My favourite part? Play All Day Elmo has both a toddler and preschool mode so he grows with your child (and keeps him entertained for hours!). In toddler mode, young children can enjoy basic cause-and-effect play, like tickling Elmo or squeezing his nose to see how Elmo might respond. In the preschool mode, play goes to the next level with more interactive games and activities. They can play “Pat-a-Cake,” wiggle and giggle through a “Freeze Dance,” stop and go through a game of “Red Light, Green Light,” and more! Elmo’s built-in sensors help him respond to different activities in fun ways; he can react when he’s in the air, when he’s upside down, and even when he’s moving around. He’s plush and hours of fun.PLAYSKOOL FOLD ‘N GO BUSY ELEPHANT.

For the younger set, there is the

Geared at babies 3 months and older, this busy elephant packs big fun with lots of colours, different textures, sounds, and seven activities for your baby to explore. Little ones can discover themselves in the mirror, squeeze the squeaker, shake the rattle, and much more! Insider tip:  If this plush toy gets dirty you can just throw it in the wash. Brilliant!

Do you remember playing with stacking cups? I do, and they are still one of my favourite toys to give at baby showers. Well I have news for you, PLAYSKOOL Stack ‘N Stow Cups have been re-invented!

Now, not only are they bright, fun and educational tool for your little one, but they are available in this great space saving design. The seven cups neatly nest together and lock into place so you can throw them into your diaper bag as you run out the door.  As always these stacking cups are age appropriate for the little one at 12 months and older.

So if you have a little one to shop for this year, add these toys to your list! These PLAYSKOOL toys can be purchased at your local Walmart or ordered on Walmart.ca. Would you like to learn more about this great line of PLAYSKOOL Play, Stow and Go toys?
