Wordless Wednesday: Getting Silly with @PlayDoh during @HasbroNews Toy Fair 2013 After Party in New York City!

The Hasbro Toy Fair Event in New York City was chock full of all things toys of course, and it would take hours to watermark and post all the photos so I'll post them little by little and then make a Pinterest Board as the place where all the photos from the event will eventually be collected.

Back to School with Play-Doh Sesame Street Shape & Spin Elmo Playset Giveaway!

˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙
This giveaway is now CLOSED. Thanks so much to our wonderful sponsor PlayDoh! We look forward to working with you again! The winner is Nicole G. Congratulations Nicole! Remember: There are great giveaways active on the upper right hand side of the page!
˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙˙·٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ●•●•٠·˙


Our Back To School themed Giveaways continue, this time with something for the younger set! A little known fact about me is that I am spot on doing two children's themed impressions, Elmo and Pillsbury Dough Boy! I adore Elmo and The Pillsbury Doughboy and have somehow amassed quite a collection of themed merch (I'm not all butterflies you know!) I will admit I have a Tickle Me Elmo that's mine, all mine! Perhaps I've missed my calling as a voice over artist?

I wanted to make sure our Back to School giveaways included a little something for everyone so we started with Staples and we are going to switch gears to younger children with the Sesame Street Shape & Spin Elmo Playset. While it's recommended for Ages 3 and Up, if you are anything like me you are going to want to play with it, I mean ahem, test it out too!

This set combines two favorites of mine, Play-Doh and Elmo! I met the Play-Doh reps during the BlogHer-2010 Conference in New York City, at their booth at the Expo Hall they were giving out one of the most unique products I received during the conference, PlayDoh Cologne! Boy does that smell take me back, and so does this Playset. Play-Doh was one of my favorite childhood memories, and playing with it now with my nieces and nephews always makes me smile. They enjoy it as much as I do!

Play-Doh is distributed by Hasbro, and I truly appreciate their packaging offers full disclosure on what is important to know about Toy Safety and Box Content. This playset comes with playmat, 3 stampers, instructions, and 3 three-ounce cans of Play-Doh Brand Modeling Compound. On the box there is a clearly marked NOTICE: Parents: contains Wheat. Nontoxic. If your child has a Wheat Allergy, this would not be an appropriate toy!



This toy also requires 2 "AAA" batteries, which thoughtfully, is included in the box! Play-Doh Sesame Street Shape & Spin Elmo Playset has two fun play modes. In mode 1, Elmo helps your child identify shapes and then counts them as your child makes them. In mode 2, Elmo prompts your child to make various shapes. Together, they'll have lots of fun creating PLAY-DOH triangles, circles and more. Because I have quite a few kiddos in my life in this age group, I opted to make this one, one of the 'play here at Auntie's toys' those are the ones in my arsenal to keep visiting little ones entertained. I have stuff for pretty much every age group, but this one proved quite popular when I had my two little nephews over during Labor Day Weekend!

This is also a great toy for a pre-schooler to have! It's a fun way for kids to learn shapes, counting and fine motor skills! If you have any Pre-K aged little ones at home, this is a fun way to start prepping them, it will keep them entertained, and help you keep them away from 'the tube'.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Thanks to our friends at Hasbro one Ascending Butterfly will win a Play-Doh Sesame Street Shape & Spin Elmo Playset for their little one!
