(ended) Because it’s Christmas 2: Playskool (prize group 3 giveaway)

Playskool, a division of Hasbro, is a household name when it comes to providing quality toys for children.

Their motto, “more than play” really illustrates that Playskool understands that for kids, playing is learning.

Play is nature’s preschool. PLAYSKOOL was founded on that simple idea more than 80 years ago, and today, experts in the field of child development agree.

Play gets little ones up and active. Play stimulates the senses, engages the imagination, encourages curiosity, and empowers children’s sense of self confidence by allowing them to discover the world at their own pace.

And play does something else too…

Play lays down important foundational skills needed for advanced learning like reading, writing, mathematics, critical problem solving, and conceptual thinking, to name just a handful.

And that’s what this site is all about. Here we hope to show you how your child learns through play. Because behind all those giggles are the foundations of your child’s physical, intellectual, and emotional development… foundations that will last a lifetime.

That’s why we say it’s More Than Play.

What boy hasn’t played with a Nerf toy?  Nerf toys are fun and best of all much safer for your home and other valuables that traditional sports gear.  They have such creative fun toys that any boy would love to see under the tree this year.

Playskool is another very generous supporter of our Because It’s Christmas Kids & Charity event, and for our third prize group, our age 6 group, Playskool is providing a Nerf Vortex Mega Howler toy.

Make some noise for your favorite team—while you play! This awesome football takes your game to the next level with a special hand grip for better passes and a VORTEX tail to send the ball the ultimate distance. And with a whistle tip, you’ll hear this totally cool football howl as it flies through the air! Now you can get in the game just like the pros in the NFL—only way louder!

My son loves sports, and even played football this year.  But at almost six years old, he has trouble throwing a regular football any amount of distance.  The Nerf Vortex solves that problem, adds a whistle as it flies through the air and allows kids to throw it farther.

Playskool has generously provided a Nerf Vortex Mega Howler for our giveaway, but also has provided one that is being donated to the Household Pantry at the First United Methodist Church in Lowell, IN. As I mentioned previously in our intro post, the Household Pantry is a unique organization in that it does more than provide food for families. And this year thanks to Playskool they will receive a Nerf toy to help brighten a needy child’s Christmas.
