Featured Holiday Giveaway: Back to Basics Toys Published on Monday, November 3, 2008 by


*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.

    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

  • by debi w November 5, 2008 at 11:05 am

    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.

  • by David Bertolo November 5, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    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 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.

  • by Denise Montgomery November 5, 2008 at 2:45 pm

  • by Sharon Harmon November 5, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    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!

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

  • by Lauralee Hensley November 5, 2008 at 10:44 pm

    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.

  • by Vilma November 5, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    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.

    I have to say that the Lincoln Logs sure bring back memories. I would love to win them for my kids. But since they are one of the prizes, I did find another toy from my childhood. The game, Operation. That brings back memories as well.

  • by Patti November 7, 2008 at 2:42 am

    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.

    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.

    lite bright and Hammer Bench are ones I remember from my childhood and I’m pretty nostalgic for. So many memories in that shop! definite bookmark!

  • by Michael November 30, 2008 at 9:16 am

    Wow, talk about nostalgia – I didn’t know they still had Lincoln Logs available. Growing up, we used them as a blueprint (so to speak) where we actually built two small log cabins. And I know just the toddler to pass them on to :)

  • by judy brittle November 30, 2008 at 9:16 am

    The Creepy Crawlers sure bring back memories. I use to love those and glad to see them again. Thank you so much!

  • by Sarah Ulfers November 30, 2008 at 11:44 am

    I gotta go with Ann and Andy. Mom and I use to make these together for the little ones ( my 8 younger siblings). It was not until I was 30 that Mom finally made me one.

  • by Robin November 30, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    I would love to win the Lincoln Logs. They’re so versatile and encourage kids to use their imagination. My boy would get as much out of them as I did.

  • by Daphne December 1, 2008 at 1:22 am

    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. : )

  • by Nanette Olson December 1, 2008 at 2:21 am

    I like Lincoln logs.

  • by Terry C December 1, 2008 at 2:37 am

  • by Sherry December 1, 2008 at 6:17 am

    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.
