Featured Holiday Giveaway: Back to Basics Toys

November 3, 2008 by Caryn

*Update*

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Beth Shepherd. Congratulations!

The Halloween candy hasn’t even disappeared yet and already our neighbors have put wreaths on their front doors. Retailers have started stocking the shelves with stockings and gift wrap. It’s Christmas! My absolute favorite time of year.

This year my husband and I have decided to focus most of our gift giving on my son (as opposed to ourselves). I always feel like a kid myself when I shop for toys. Some of my most favorite toys are those from my own childhood. Toys from a time when batteries were the exception rather than the norm. I hold to the fact that toys don’t have to be high-tech with flashy lights and sing-song music for children to benefit from the learning that comes through play. Back to Basics Toys was grown out of the desire parents have for toys that will stand the test of time…quality toys that stimulate creativity and foster the imagination. One of the things I like about the company is their recognition of the importance of open-ended toys…those toys that children can play with in multiple ways. Those are the toys that turn play into a learning experience.

When we received the Pull Along Alphabet Blocks from Back to Basics Toys, I immediately became nostalgic for those wooden toys I used to play with. My mother still has some of my old toys packed away and they’ve withstood years of play. When I opened the package, I was greeted with that familiar wooden smell. I have to admit that it was a nice change. It’s hard to believe that these were first introduced as spelling blocks in 1858! The set includes 28 wooden blocks with 4 sets of the alphabet, 3 sets of numbers (1-9), basic math symbols, and 28 different animal pictures arranged in a classic-looking wagon. I can envision my son playing with this for years as he learns the names of animals, how to count, his ABC’s and more. I’ve spent some time showing him the different animals (right now he knows dog and duck) and he loves arranging them in the wagon.

Many of the toys offered at Back to Basics Toys have received awards from various organizations as the best play products for children. While the site may appear to be a bit overwhelming because of the sheer number of toys available, it is arranged in such a way that you’ll find it easy to navigate and pick out that perfect age-appropriate toy. You can also search by category, price, best-sellers, award-winners and more. If you’re looking for creative, durable toys this season, check out Back to Basics Toys!

Win It! Now through December 25, 2008, Back to Basics Toys is hosting a “Toys of Our Lives” sweepstakes. Every week one person will win a $100 shopping spree just for uploading a photo of his/her favorite toy from childhood. Take a look a the entries!

Win It! One very lucky reader will have their choice of either the Lincoln Logs Commemorative Edition or a Raggedy Ann & Andy Box Set courtesy of Back to Basics Toys. Both of these toys are among the 20 bestselling classic toys. Head on over to the site and take a look around.

Wow, those Lincoln Logs bring back many memories. I’d love to win those. Another toy I can’t forget is the Slinky. Thanks for the giveaway!

love to win the lincoln logs – though i may need to purchase that evel knievel stunt set, i didnt know they still made those

The Rock n Bounce Pony is what I am nostalgic for! I want to be a little person again after seeing that pony!

Rock’em Sock’em Robots brings back lots of memories!

I use to so love my raggedy ann and andy these are 2 dolls that are timeless

Tinker Toys…though the Raggedy Ann and Andy are still my favorites.

I agree the lincoln logs bring back alot of memories- way before battery operated toys- and the slinky could be a blast- and cheap enough if you killed it you could afford another

I never liked raggedy ann & andy – but I remember having fun with my brothers and sisters playing with our lincoln logs!!

I miss my cabbage patch doll

Both toys bring back some really great memories, but I have to go with the lincoln logs. I really played with them so much as a child and had a lot of fun building with them. Thanks so much for this giveaway.

I HAVE TOO SAY I LOVED LINCOLN LOGS WHEN I WAS A KID. I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THOSES. THANKS , MICHELLE

I’m nostalgic for the Radio Flyer wagons. We used to have so much fun with ours! If I win, I’d love to have the Lincoln Logs for my boys. Thanks!

Duncan Evolution Yo-Yo Set, I loved learning yo-yo tricks!

I’d love to win the Lincoln Logs. They were so much fun when I was a kid, and I know that my kids would love them, too.

Lincoln Logs are so much fun. We have a set, but my kids have been asking for more logs. I really like the Snoopy Sno-Cone Maker. I had one when I was little and it brings back a lot of memories.

As a small boy I spent hours and hours building forts with my Lincoln Logs and having battles within my forts between my toy soldiers and Indians. By the way in my world the Indians always won and were able to spot the genocidal maniacs in America.

I love Lincoln Logs. also love etch-a-sketch, slinky and view master

My youngest son loves anything with wheels. I try to find different truck/car toys for him and I loved the Tonka Garabage Truck I found. Thanks and hope to give this on xmas.

RENEE TAYLOR

I would like to get a top for my grandson or a jack in the box but will be happy winning anything

My brother and I played with Lincoln Logs for hours when we were little. Thanks for a great giveaway.

Douglas W.

I lost my Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls in a hurricane (FL-1964) so this win would be a great replacement and pass-down to my grandson and grandaughter. I had forgotten about them until a read about this contest.

I would love Raggedy Ann and Andy-when I was little the first thing that I ever bought on my own was a Raggady Ann doll-I had it until I was married and my new puppy ate her! I was so upset and always wanted another one.

has to be lincoln logs – brings back some fond memories

old toys and big boxs are great

Susan C

The Fisher Price Teaching Clock brings back fun memories! I would love to get my hands on those Raggedy Ann dolls!

The original Licoln Logs-hands down! I was just playing with my twin boys last night, building forts for 2 hours with those lincoln logs…we ran out, need some more to make a cabin on the lake!! Thanks for the entry!

I loved the lite brite.

I would love Raggedy Ann and Andy. I always wanted a Raggedy Ann doll when I was a child but never had one.

We still have my Tinker Toys. My husband is an architect and he helps the boys make some pretty cool things.

my brothers and I played with lincoln logs

Great classic toys – we love them!

Tinker Toys

Love classic toys. thank you for this great contest and prize!

I really loved my Easy Bake Oven. I’m hoping for the Lincoln Logs for my nephew. Thanks for the giveaway.

The toy I am most nostalgia for is the Rockem Sockem Robots. My little brother and I loved playing with this toy when we were young, we played with it for hours and all our friends owned the same toy, it was so popular back in the 70’s !

I’d love to win the blocks every kid loves blocks.

Sharon Jones

Oh how I miss Tinker Toys!!! One of my favorite toys ever. THANKS for great entry!

For me it is Legos!

I use to have the “Brio Labyrinth” – I spent hours playing with it, trying to beat it!

the lincoln logs i loved them when i was kid

I miss the old school Lite Brite with the construction paper, but I guess the Lite Brite Cube will have to do. Thanks!

had a raggedy andy as a kid. where the heck did it go?

oh my – that sit and spin brought back some dizzy memories! lol crossing fingers for lincoln logs for my little boy!

I always get nostalgic over the Two Tune TV. I used to have one when I was a baby, like most people.

The Plush Spring Horse brought tears to my eyes!!! The one ‘I remember’ toy of mine was a spring rocking horse I had when I was 3 years old, and I spent hours on that cherished horsie!! lol! I would bounce up and down, back and forth, pretending I was on my own live pony! Thank you for this great memory and contest!

Love lincoln logs!

I remember that electric football game and how we laughed at how the piece just were all over the place.

I love the Radio Flyer Wagon had so much fun with that and now my children are enjoying riding in one. Thanks

I’m nostalgic for the Active Play toys of the Garden Tools. I remember having a set like that when I was little. It got me and my sister out of the house and active. We actually used the shovel to turn over dirt and plant cucumber seeds, tomato and bell pepper seeds. We enjoyed eating the fruits and vegetables. We even helped our older brother with fall raking of the leaves. If I should win I’d like Raggedy Ann and Andy. I remember a woman everyone called Grandma Browder homemaking me and my younger sister these dolls after we were in a car accident when we were very little. We needed these dolls because we weren’t able to see our Mom for several weeks and our Dad for several months while they were still in the hospital in a town a few hours away. We didn’t see our older brother and sister for weeks either while they stayed with another family while our family was scattered.

I would love Raggedy Ann and Andy, my grandmother gave them to me as a little girl and they got lost in the first family move.

Remeber…..Spirograph…how cool was that

Patti

Wouldn’t the Red Unicycle be so much fun! Last year we got my son Lincoln Logs from Santa. This year I asked him what he wanted from Santa, he said, “I want MORE Lincoln Logs so I can build a HUGE cabin!”. Totally serious, he can’t wait till he gets to tell Santa what he wants! My daughter would love Raggedy Ann and Andy.

I remember the Learn and play teddy that teaches dress up skills. – I never had one, but my friends did.

My neighbor had the Rock’em Sock’em Robots and those just take me back!! I never won back then… maybe I am better now?

Wow what a great web site. Memories….I think the only thing missing is those funny egg shaped guys Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down”. Any ways I would love to win the Lincoln logs.

216

Wow, brings back memories. I remember the lincoln logs, but according to my brother, they were his, not mine. The lite brite, but I do not remember it being a cube. Oh, and the tinkertoy set. Candyland and Chutes&Ladders also bring back memories. I think I still have those board games in a box somewhere. Thanks for the memories.

217

The Foam Maverick Pogo Stick reminds me of the pogo stick that I received for my 10th birthday. Even though it was raining, I spent the whole day outdoors playing with it. I still have it…I’m just a sentimental fool!

I am nostalgic for the Mrs. Beasley Doll. I had one as a child and this brought back memories for sure. If I were to win, my son would love the Lincoln Logs though.

I really like the old century baseball game. It reminds me of the games at the arcade.

232

I would love the Old Century Baseball Game for my son and my uncle…can you imagine, my uncle has the playing card version of this game, frrom the early 1900’s, where you just pick cards to play the game…how excitng…my uncle would love this updated game to play! He has seen nearly a century of life, and what a joy he is!

Thanks for the memories!!

Definitely the Skittles game! We used to fight over that every time we visited my grandmother’s house.

238

Plush Spring Horse is my favorite! I remember playing on mine for hours. I had a set of six shooters and a red cowboy hat and cowboy boots. I wore the springs completely out on my Horse. I’d like to see my granddaughter have a chance to experience that! She is only 8 months old right now. but she could get on the horse in a couple of months. I prefer the Raggedy Dolls.

239

I can remember playing with Lincoln Logs when I was a kid. That was a long time ago too. They are still a wonderful toy for any kid of any age. Raggedy Ann and Ann never get old either. I still love them tons!!!!

I remember playing Clue when I was a kid. What a great game!

241

306

My husband just turned 65. I cannot tell you how many times he has waxed poetic over his boyhood Lincoln Log set. Maybe that’s why he grew up to be such a builder. This summer he built a two bay garage, plus shop. Now that the dreary, drippy winter months have set in, it would be a treat to surprise him with the Bicentennial Edition set of Lincoln Logs. : )

As a child of the seventies I can think of a dozen or more favorites, but my all time favorite I miss the most is the Spirograph. The original one with the tiny little pins we wouldn’t let children play with today.
