Today I have a fantastic giveaway for you so read on…
I have a very dear friend who is quite a bit older than me and she has 2 kids in their late teens. I go over to her place often with my 4 year old who isn’t usually a fan of accompanying me to places where there are no young kids but this friend’s home is an exception. Simply because my daughter always gets delightful wooden toys to play with and sometimes even gets to take a couple home. My friend has saved many of her kids wooden toys from 15+ years ago because she loves them for the memories they hold and intends to one day pass them on to her grand kids. That’s the thing with wooden toys, they never go out of fashion and can be played with from one generation to the next.
I too am a huge wooden toy fan and have kept all the ones that Anya has collected over the last 4 years. I’ve perched them on some shelves in her room and for now they serve as colourful and fun decorations that bring splashes of colour to her room. So I’m delighted to introduce you to the Wooden Toy Shop which as the name suggests, does nothing but wooden toys. And I’ve teamed up with them to bring you a fantastic giveaway. One lucky reader will win a £75 voucher to spend on whatever they like at the Wooden Toy Shop. The choice is entirely yours.
The Wooden Toy Shop sell some of my favourite brands like Brio, Plan Toys and Janod. They have toys, games and puzzles for babies, toddlers and older kids. There’s a lot of choice so it doesn’t matter if you have a 1 year old or 7 year old, there’s something for every kid. If the choice was mine, I think I’d go for one of their play kitchens or maybe even the BBQ set since summer is coming up but more importantly, what will you choose?
GIVEAWAY ENTRY DETAILS: One lucky reader picked at random will win a £75 voucher to spend on toys of their choice from the Wooden Toy Shop. For your chance to win just leave a comment below… easy! Say hi or whatever you like but keep it nice! One comment per person. Sorry, but this giveaway is open to UK residents only. The competition closes at midnight (UK time) on Sunday 5th May 2013. Any entries after this time will not be counted. The winner will be announced on Tuesday 7th May on our facebook page and on this post. And finally thanks to the Wooden Toy Shop for this generous giveaway. Good luck!
This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. The winner is Amy Turner… congratulations Amy!

The wooden toy shop is great too, we’ve bought a dolls house and balance bike from there in the last year. Always super quick delivery and a good service x
