This giveaway is now over. THe winner is Deb K. Congrats!

My kids love Play-Doh.  I think they would play with it 24/7 if I would let them.  I love how it makes them use their imagination.  That’s why I love the Play-Doh Burger Builder.

Now, the age on here is 3 and up.  However, Will, my 2 year old, can pretty much do everything on his own.  (Madison, my 5 year old, did love it too and was able to do everything.)  You easily are able to make hamburgers and hot dogs with this.  You can easily make pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and pretty much anything else you want to put on your hamburger (or double hamburger or triple hamburger, etc).  I love that you can make chips (and it’s pretty easy too!).  We even made some pretend french fries (though I do have to warn you that your little one may try and eat said french fry.  Needless to say, I am happy Play-Doh is nontoxic).   Best of all, this kit comes with all the Play-Doh you need to make  everything you want!  You don’t have to buy new Play-Doh to get the pictures on the box!

Since my kids love this and I know yours will too, I have arranged to give one away to a lucky reader of mine!

The next couple of toys I am going to talk about will make great Easter toys (and actually, great toys for your kids any time of the year!).  How do I know this?  I have the best product testers in the world  — my 21 month old and my 5 year old.  If they pass their testing, they get two thumbs up from me.  Now, my kids have been checking out these things and loved them.  All can be bought from Hasbro.

The #1 gift this Easter season has to be from Play-Doh. My kids love love love the Spring Characters that you see to the left.  When I pulled these out, all I got was squeals of joy.  They giggled that the Play-Doh containers were ducks and bunnies.  Before we even took the Play-Doh out, we had some great fun playing with the containers.  Now, it does say 3 and up (Will is only 21 months and has been playing with Play-Doh for a while.  It is up to you if your children can handle not eating and only playing with this.  Mine can.).  The very cool thing is that there are stamps on the bottom of the feet of the containers.  The bunny has a carrot stamp, and the chick has a chick stamp.  Yes, they actually work pretty well.  This Play-Doh has been played with countless hours at my house, and I can only highly recommend it as an addition to any Easter Basket.

Another great gift is the Littlest Pet Shop pairs.  These bunnies are the cutest things, and they make a great addition to any Littlest Pet Shop collection.  The age on this is 4 and up, and these are pretty small.  I personally love the little carrots that come with — it doesn’t get cuter than this!  Madison likes the Littlest Pet Shop, so this was another hit in our house.

Now, my kids have had a great time with above two toys.  However, the hands down winner has to be the FurReal Friends Teacup Pup.  Seriously, my kids think this is the best thing since sliced bread (and I’m not kidding).  I do have to add that we don’t have any pets (I am allergic to both cats and dogs.  I also have two kids to take care of;  I really don’t need to add another living thing to deal with).  However, this is the next best thing to a real dog.  Why?  This little puppy moves its head, blinks its eyes, and even has posable legs.  You can pet it, and it responds to you!  It even makes puppy sounds!  My kids adore this!  You even get your own special adoption certificate and can register whatever name your kids pick out online!  It comes with its own purse, so your little ones can carry it around wherever they go.  This will definitely get two thumbs up from any child.

These three toys will make great additions to any Easter basket this year.

The Playdoh Creativity Center is a winner in both parents and kids eyes. If you find you have playdoh and playdoh accessories all over your house, you need one of these! Not only does it have a table for your little one to play on, all of the playdoh and accessories go inside. I know it has been a lifesaver in my house. Now, Madison and I both know where all of her playdoh stuff is. There is enough space inside that you can put other playdoh accessories and playdoh in there. We have several different sets in ours. On the table (which is the cover) there are also spots (or molds) that allow the kids to make all sorts of different shapes like strawberries and such. You can also buy the plastic that goes on top and gives the kids a theme to build playdoh things with. I think it comes with one that looks like four plates, so the kids can make playdoh food to put on the plates. I can’t tell you how many hours Madison has played with this. It is worth every penny. You can’t get it at places like directbuy, but it should be pretty easy to find at Kmart, Target, etc.
