****CLOSED****
Congrats to #42, Liz!
I love wooden toys, probably b/c I like all-things retro/vintage AND I have
destructive boys. So, when CSN Stores gave me the opportunity to review a
product, I knew exactly what to get.
Have you seen one of these?
Smart Gear Classic Wooden Training Bike
It's a "balance bike" and helps a child learn to ride a regular bike faster, plus it's for
ages 2-5. Luke is so into things with wheels that I knew he would really love it...once
he gets it...on his birthday. (He's sort of timid these days, so I think his 3rd birthday
will be perfect.) In the meantime, we did build it, which was super easy, and rolled it
around our bedroom. It's so super cute and made REALLY well.
And, when you buy it from CSN Stores, it ships for FREE!
CSN has so many amazing toys that I had to get something for you, too. Which
means this is the part about the GIVEAWAY. Are you ready? Hope so b/c I'm
giving away 3 wooden toys to one of my readers.
Want to see them???
They are so cool and perfect for kids 3 years and older. Don't ya wanna win???

The Tippy Turtle game looks so cute!!
I love that they are wooden! We are trying to keep the plastic to a bare minimum for our little one. Man, it's harder than you would think. Wooden and cloth toys are the plan!

I love that they are made out of WOOD! I hate plastic toys!

The wooden farm cube puzzle is my favorite. Chunky blocks and and six puzzles in one! My little one loves anything with animals (probably because I'm a sucker for making the animal sounds whenever he points to one).

Found this from a friend. These toys look great. I have 7 boys and I know how tough they are on toys. They are perfect for their active lifestyles. Great ideas.

What awesome toys. Luke will love his new bike. It will be fun to see him riding it down the sidewalk!
What a fun giveaway! I love the wooden toys. It is so hard to find real wooden toys now. Even some of the "wooden" blocks now are really just foam designed to look like wood. These also look like great developmental toys and would be great for our little guy when he gets home and gets to be that age.
Oh and I'm a follower.
These toys would be great for my son!!!I like them because its made from wood instead of plastic,they are good learning toys for a small child and they would make terrific little Christmas gifts for my kiddo

I love wood toys! I am slowly replacing many of our plastic ones with them. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter(and a 4m old son) so these are perfect. She would love the screw toy and is really into games and puzzles lately so the others two would be so much fun. I love the screw toy the best as I can see her playing with it for a long time ;)

My daughter loves playing with the block puzzle at the library. It'd be great to have one at home!

So cute! What I love about all 3 is that they are interactive toys. They help you create, learn and have fun at the same time! :)
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I LOVE classic wooden toys. They're so much sturdier and better quality than all the plastic stuff out there today.

That Tippy the Turtle game is adorable. Quite unique. I've never seen anything like it before. I so want one now.
The fact that they're wooden means they will last a long time. I also love that they're all fun but educational too - great hand-eye coordination development.

My daughter had a balance bike from when she was 18 months old untill about five minutes before she mastered the pedal bike (no training wheels) at 4 - this girl would go for km's on her bike - it was amazing, they are just the best thing ever! What I would love for her now (though she is a bit old for it she would just love the game of it) is the tippy turtle, she loves balance games, for her body and her hand eye cordination. She is 5, the farm blocks and the screw set I would give to my profoundly disabled neice, she would just love them and I think play with them for many many years to come!

I love that these toys don't require batteries, just imagination! Wooden toys are fantastic, and they last practically forever, which is awesome. My gma has some wooden blocks that were her kids when they were litte. Love that!
Thanks! mommy saves at yahoo dot com
I love the cube puzzle because it's multiple puzzles in one... great for a young child-- and the pieces aren't easily eaten by vacuums or lost by children!

I love the cubes - they are so cute......I love it because it is wooden and because my son loves puzzles
I agree with pretty much everyone else, I love that they are wooden. My daughter manages to destroy a lot of her plastic toys and wooden ones hold up a lot better. I also think they last longer for a second, third, etc child and in my family everything gets passed around to all the new cousins!

These are great picks! I am also a fan of wooden toys, and try to confine my gifts to my grandchilden to items that provide good play value rather than battery operated bells and whistles. These provide just that - the puzzle cube set is a really good way to develop observation and critical thinking skills, the screws do as well along with fine motor skills... and I just adore that turtle game... what a great open ended puzzle that is!
:) and yes...follower!
I love that they are a green product and made of wood!

Love the farm block puzzle!!!! My twin boys are loving farm animals these days.
These are so amazingly great!! Rocks my socks :) I am a big fan of simple toys, that encourage a childs imagination. Also, toys like this don't break in 5 minutes like most of the over done stuff at the commercial toy stores.

these are great! they are super cute and fun!
I LOVE that these toys are made to withstand hard play and time! I hated buying my children cheap plastic toys that were broken in minutes, when they were younger! These will really stand up to the challenge of rough little hands!
With two girls we def have enough PINK PLASTIC!! Srsly!! I would love to have these under the tree for then this year!!! Thanks!
Love the screw block set - great way to learn fine motor skills.

I love these toys so much! I have a 14 month old boy and these would be perfect for him now and as he gets older! I love that they are wood and will last a lot longer. I love on the puzzle how you can switch it to be different animals. My son is also at the stage where he is learning how to open and close things and the screw set would be great for that.

I LOVE wooden toys! They are my favorite for kids. I hate how everything requires batteries these days. The balance bike is my fave. I think training wheels just make kids depend on them more than they need to. What a great idea they have here. My son would love these wooden toys. The turtle is so cute too. :)

Nikki E These toys remind me of the kind I grew up with. My generation must remember the wooden Hammer and Colored Wooden pegs that you slam slam slammed into the holes. Would love to bring a piece of that to my own kids. nackle78 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I have a baby due in November and as it grows old enough to play, these are the kinds of toys i want for it. Most toys today do the thinking for you. I love toys that let the child decide how to use it without all the annoying electronic voice instructions! Oh, and the turtle is my FAVORITE! I had a wooden turtle puzzle as a kid and loved it, and i hope that my child feels a connection to animals as well! Rachel

I love that these toys promote motor skills without all the flashy bells and whistles that toys of this generation seem to possess. Kids will be able to learn while playing, and even younger children will benefit from play because they will not be able to break the wooden blocks.
