Melissa and Doug’s Puppet Theater *Giveaway* Published on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 by

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! The winner is Rebecca. Congrats!

Earlier this week, I frequented a popular toy store to shop for the children in my life.  I have to admit that I was very overwhelmed by the sheer number of toys on the market. I actually prefer non-mainstream toys that promote open-ended play and foster a child’s imagination.

GummyLump’s tagline is “Toys That Make Sweet Memories.”  The company sells award winning toys from manufacturers like Melissa & Doug, Haba, Kidkraft, and more.  With over 200 toys receiving approval from organizations like Oppenheim Toy Portfolio and Dr. Toy, you can feel confident that these toys are safe, age-appropriate, educational, and fun.

One of our long-time favorite toy manufacturers is Melissa & Doug.  For several months, my son has been playing with a certain puppet.  We like to tell stories and talk about the adventures this puppet takes. With Melissa and Doug’s Puppet Theater, my son and I can have a proper puppet show with his favorite friend.

This wooden puppet theater was designed to be sturdy with a non-tip base.  It’s large enough for two “puppeteers” and features stylized theatrical graphics for an authentic look.  Just like a “real” theater, it includes velvety curtains, a clock with movable hands (great for teaching children how to tell time), and a chalkboard panel to display playbill information.  My son adores playing in it!  The options for pretend play are only limited by a child’s imagination.  The theater will inspire creativity and expression as children stage their performance.

The only thing I’d like for the theater to include is a puppet or two, for which I’d be willing to pay a bit more.

Right now, the Melissa and Doug Puppet Theater is on sale for $71.99 (originally priced at $89.99).

Win It! One of you will win a Melissa and Doug Puppet Theater. Simply leave me a comment with another toy from GummyLump that you’d like for your child.  Comments will close on December 31, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  US Residents only.  Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

    My son would absolutely love this! He’s just started discovering puppets and playing pretend so this would be a great way for him to get his imagination flowing. He would also love the Slice and Bake Cookies Play Food Set by Melissa and Doug since he loves baking and helping Mommy make cookies in the kitchen.
