Win a Kathe Kruse Mini Bambina from Blueberry Forest Toys

Santa's elves at Blueberry Forest Toys are sponsoring another giveaway. On November 30th, one lucky Sara's Toy Box reader will win a Kathe Kruse Mini Bambina Crumpet Doll (normally retails for $86) from Blueberry Forest Toys.



Kathe Kruse Mini Bambina dolls are made in Germany and have beautiful, hand-painted faces. They have soft, cuddly bodies with dangling vinyl legs, arms, and head. The vinyl is certified phthalate-free and nonyphenol-free. Phthalates and nonyphenols are plastic softeners that are linked to hormone disruption and early puberty. It is not easy to find vinyl dolls without nonyphenol and without phthalates, and that are not made in China, but Blueberry Forest has a huge selection of dolls that are made in Europe and free of both nonyphenol and phthalates!

And, this is very important - there is Mini Bambina clothing available. All the outfits are available separately, so the doll can be dressed. Dressing and undressing dolls is a fun learning/playing experience for three-year-olds.

To enter to win a Kathe Kruse Mini Bambina Crumpet doll, visit the Blueberry Forest website and check out the Kathe Kruse doll selections. Then let me know your vote for the cutest Kathe Kruse doll. You can enter by comment, Facebook, or email to Sara's Toy Box.

Maybe your choices will help me pick the perfect Christmas Baby for Linnea. I'll announce the winner on November 30th.

Thinking of the holidays?

Perfect for play, decoration or a season's table, they are made in Germany by Kathe Kruse.

Rabbits' Den Advent Calendar ($7.95)



I bought one of these last year and the girls enjoyed it so much! Every night, we opened a door and counted the nights until Christmas. My husband was recovering from his heart attack, and the kids felt the stress. It helped us to get refocused on the holiday. We're going to use it again this year.
