*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!

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.

Wouldn’t the Red Unicycle be so much fun! Last year we got my son Lincoln Logs from Santa.

Cynthia Shern says
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.

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. : )
Nanette Olson says
