ReggieMann!
She wins a pack of 30 Mini Kiddo Tags with a free *dwink* Box Holder in pink or blue. Congratulations!
So sorry for the delay. We have been the house of sickness and it's been hard to get anything done.
By the way, I finally ironed on our iron-on Kiddo Tags. It was easy once I got over my aversion to plugging in the iron. The round name labels fit perfectly on a tag and I don't have to worry about Linnea's gloves ending up in the lost-and-found.

Mudpuppy Puzzle Giveaway
Mudpuppy are the makers of beautiful products for children, including puzzles, games, stationery, diaries, cards, building sets, stickers and a whole lot of other fun products - all beautifully illustrated.
We like the puzzles!
There are several categories of puzzles which range in difficulty from very easy to challenging.
First Puzzles won the iParenting Best Products Award 2006. Each box contains 16 pieces which are color coded and form four 4-piece puzzles. They are appropriate for ages 2+
Construction First Puzzle ($10.00)
Nine-piece Two-sided puzzles teach about opposites. The Day/Night puzzle is a 2003 Parent's Choice Approved Award Winner, a 2003 Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Product, and has received a 2003 Creative Child Magazine - Seal of Excellence Award.
Day/Night Puzzle ($10.00)
The Mudpuppy Block Puzzles contain nine 2-inch cubes that form 6 pictures. These are great for children over three who can also build with the colorful blocks.
Garden Bugs Block Puzzle ($14.00)
Arielle has recently mastered floor puzzles with 24 jumbo pieces. She reviewed the Map of the U.S.A. Floor Puzzle.
Map of the U.S.A. Floor Puzzle ($17.00)
Arielle loves geography. She is fascinated with maps and locations. So, this puzzle was perfect for her. She was muttering about how Hawaii was in the wrong location and "Where's Texas? I need Texas." She is rapidly beginning to recognize the states and know their locations.
She started...
And in no time...
She was done! Linnea (who dressed herself today) admires Arielle's work.
These puzzles are challenging for early threes, but I bet by the time she is four, Linnea will have mastered this one.
The Color Me Puzzles are two-sided. Children four and older can color within the lines on one side with the crayons that are included in the set. The other side is printed in color. What a great snow day project!
Enchanted Kingdom Color Me Puzzle ($14.00)
Arielle is ready to try the 36-piece Mini Cube puzzles.
Eric Carle Santa Puzzle ($10.00)
Soon, she can try the 63 Piece Puzzles that come in round canisters with a colorful rope handle.
Monsters 63 Piece Puzzle ($14.00)
Finally, Mudpuppy's 100-piece jigsaw puzzles in collectible tins will challenge those serious puzzle masters. These are for ages 6 and up.
They won iParenting Greatest Products of 2005 Award.
Fairy Tales Puzzle ($14.00)
All the puzzles have nice sturdy pieces. The greyboard used to make Mudpuppy puzzles is from 90-100% recycled paper, and the colors are printed with nontoxic, soy-based ink. All puzzles are CE and ASTM tested to ensure safety.
Puzzles make great educational gifts. They help with cognitive skills, fine motor skills,hand-eye coordination, geometric and spatial relationships, and even teach children to deal with frustration. And, they are so easy to wrap.
You can win a Map of the U.S.A. Floor Puzzle just like the one Arielle reviewed. To enter the giveaway go to the Mudpuppy website and pick a favorite product. Post a comment, and make sure that I can contact you if you win.
In a recent giveaway, I had a winner named Anonymous with no details or contact information. I had no way of knowing who that was.
The winner will be announced on December 15th.

Stuff a stocking and win a really good prize!
My two favorite places for stocking stuffers are A Toy Garden and Stubby Pencil Studio. A Toy Garden has a special section devoted to "little things" and stocking stuff. Stubby Pencil Studio has a large selection of eco-friendly art supplies, toys and a selection of gifts under $10. Both stores make it possible for Santa's elves to bring smiles on a budget.
So, let's stuff an imaginary stocking. Ho, ho, ho! The rule is nothing over $10.
1. Wild Cards Bugs ($9.95)
Arielle and her daddy love reading books about animals. These cards are printed with beautiful buggy photographs and educational facts. They can be used to play three different card games: Memory, Old Maid, and Go Fish. They are suggested for ages five and up. There are two other sets available, North American mammals and Who's hiding? (camouflage).
2. Play Silk ($7.00)
Who doesn't love play silks. A Toy Garden's silks are made in the USA and are available in 24 different vibrant colors. They are 36x36 inch, hand-hemmed, home-dyed, thick (8mm) play silks.
Becky, a blog reader, emailed recently to tell me about how she uses play silks. She bought some some suction cups with hooks and expandable curtain rods to hang on the hooks. So she can hang a rod in a corner or between some chairs, and then she attaches the play silks with clothespins to make a temporary playhouse. The rods can also be set up in a hallway or a doorway to make a puppet stage. Thank you, Becky, great idea!
My girls use them as doll blankets, dress up clothes, and lately they like to blindfold each other and spin around. These are very versatile toys.
3. Washable Markers ($3.95)
We always need markers. Arielle uses hers every day. And, they must be washable because Linnea can't always be trusted (and washable marker wipes right off ultrasuede with a damp cloth). These markers are made in the USA from 25% recycled plastic. The packaging is 100% post consumer recycled.
4. Ornament
If you give your child an ornament each year, they'll have the start of a nice collection when they grow up.
I went shopping with the girls this morning and every ornament we saw was made in China - and not particularly well made. And of course, my kids get their hands all over them and in their mouths and up their noses... If you search on "ornament" at A Toy Garden, there is a great selection of inexpensive ornaments, made in the USA and Germany or that handmade fair trade items from other countries. Here are a couple I like from Germany.
Ladybug Ornament ($4.95)
Puppet Theater Ornament ($8.95)
5. Finger Puppets ($9.95)
These fair trade puppets are hand knit in Peru, so no two are the same. They come in sets of five, so you can split them between your kids. We love puppets here. Whenever we go on a car trip, the girls fill their purses with finger puppets, and they play with them while I drive.
6. Mini Animal Set ($9.95)
These are not for kids that put things in their mouths - they are teeny - only 1/4" to 1 1/4" tall. Arielle loves itty bitty little animals like this and will sit for hours making up stories and adventures. The set includes a deer, rabbit, pig, dog, cat, frog, hummingbird and snake.
7. Tie-Up Shoe ($7.95)
Eventually, even velcro-lovers have to learn to tie shoes. It's much easier when the shoe isn't on your foot. Five-year-old Arielle is getting one of these. I'm sure Linnea will try to string beads on the laces. She's silly.
8. Starlight wand ($5.95)
Tap the wand and it plays a note. The wands are fun for both boys and girls and are made in Mexico. Arielle and Linnea have never seen these, but my older kids tried some out at a fair when they were little, and they were fascinated.
9. Snifty Gingerbread Pen ($2.00)
My girls love ballpoint pens and mine are always being snatched away. These pens are made in the USA, are nontoxic and cute and are seasonally scented (like gingerbread - yum!).
10. Wood Tea Bags ($9.95)
or treats from Haba. These are cute, sturdy and made in Germany. They will get years of play. But, the treats are doll-sized, so they are not for children who like to mouth their toys.
11. Made By Me Bug ($4.00)
I think I've mentioned these a lot. That's because the girls love them so much and they are such a good deal. All you need is a hammer and some art supplies. Your child attaches the wheels and then decorates the wooden vehicle. Voila! A personalized toy. And, they will be so proud. I'm putting more in Arielle and Linnea's stocking this year.
12. Ladybugs In A Pot ($9.95)
Our very favorite!! These were Linnea's favorite toy last year and she still plays with them almost daily. She uses them as ingredients in soup, for counting and sorting, as little pets, and today she was wrapping them in a play silk and giving them to me as a gift.
And now for your holiday surprise. One very lucky reader will win a $25 gift card from A Toy Garden and another will win a $75 gift card (with free shipping) from Stubby Pencil Studio. That can stuff a whole lot of stocking.
How do you enter? Go to both sites and then post a comment suggesting one stocking stuffer from each site that I haven't mentioned. There are so many good things on both sites, that this should be super easy. It doesn't have to be under $10.
I'll announce the winners on December 12th, so there will be just enough time for shipping.
Good luck!

Win a wooden tea set from Wonderworld and Toys and Games Online
One lucky reader will receive a Wonderworld Tea Time Play Set from Toys and Games Online.
Wonderworld Tea Time Play Set ($26.00)
Toys and Games Online is a CSN store. There are over 200 CSN stores specializing in everything from nursery decor to Christmas decorations.
To enter, go to Toys and Games Online and browse through the Eco-friendly toys, then send me an email, comment or Facebook message letting me know which eco-friendly toy you like best.
Arielle and Linnea had a good time reviewing the tea set this morning.
Arielle invited Linnea and her doll, Lotta, to her cafe. They ordered cake and tea and were very impressed with the cute tea pot and place settings.
Everything in Arielle's Cafe is delicious. Lotta wanted more tea.
In the picture, the handles look very delicate as if they might break. Actually, they are made of cord and are very sturdy. The tea set is made to handle being played with by real kids.
This is a very nice tea set and I recommend it if you are looking to stock your play kitchen with a nice wooden tea set. The quality is similar to that of the Plan Tea Set, but it is slightly larger. I find the shapes more pleasing. It comes with a tea pot and lid, sugar bowl, creamer, 2 saucers, 2 cups and 2 spoons.
The winner will be announced on December 9, so the tea set can reach them for Christmas. Good luck!

Check out Palumba's new website. I am working on reviews that will post this week, and there are tons of new products. Best of all, Sara's Toy Box readers save 5% until January 1, 2010 with the code "sarastoybox". Combine this with free shipping on purchases over $100 for bigger savings.

Maukilo Gift Card Giveaway
On November 20th, one lucky blog reader will win a Maukilo giftcard worth $25. To enter, go to the Maukilo website and answer the question, "if you won a $25 gift card to Maukilo, what would you buy?" Then let me know. You can enter by comment, Facebook, or email.
You can have a double entry by becoming a fan of Maukilo on facebook or by following Maukilo on Twitter. Just let me know.
I can't enter, but what would I choose?
I would spend it all on Haba play food. Maukilo is the largest online Haba retailer with over 1500 Haba toys in stock. The wooden food is so cute and it lasts to be passed down. I'd put in a shopping bag ($2.42) and give as a gift. In fact, I'm doing that next week :o)
Carrot ($2.42)

GIVEAWAY!!!! Odd Ducks at KangarooBoo
KangarooBoo is teaming up with Sara's Toy Box to do a giveaway! The winner will receive a pair of Odd Ducks from Boon.
Odd Ducks ($6.99 each) are modern rubber duckies that are PVC, phthalate, and BPA free.

I haven't seen these ducks yet, but who doesn't love a rubber-ducky? And these are so fun!
Boon bath toys are MIC, but are PVC, phthalate and BPA free. We have the Boon Waterbugs ($9.99). And, I've actually been meaning to post a review for a while. My girls love to play mommy and baby spiders with them. The net usually ends up being a baby spider bed.
Very creative. But, my favorite part is hearing Linnea talk about "fyders".
Boon gives 10% of their profits to children's charities. KangarooBoo also gives a portion of each sale to child related non-profit.

I will announce the winner on November 6th.
KangarooBoo has also provided a coupon code good for 8% off on all regular-priced merchandise. "SSTB09" is good until the end of the year (12/31/2009).
Good luck!
