Melissa and Doug was so very nice to send me a few items to review in exchange for hosting an upcoming giveaway for all of you!! So keep and eye out for a $200.00 Melissa and Doug Giveaway Event starting soon!!
Tents! What can I say about boys and tents…..the love them! Really! I am sure girls love them just as much but, I have three boys. However, growing up I do remember planing in a tent. They are just so much fun. You feel like you are in your own little world…even though you are really right there lol. The Tootle Turtle Tent with FREE Blaze Flashlight is hours of fun in their own hidden world.
When you close the flap it is the face of a turtle.
You can even roll it back up to store it….if your child every lets you put it up. 🙂
I am so disappointed that we have not been able to get to the beach with our sand toys yet! I have these toys up on my self in my office and the kids keep coming in asking if they can play with them. As soon as we have a SUNNY day to get to the beach I will update this post with a better image of them actually using the Sunny Patch sand toys.
The Seaside Sidekicks Nesting Pails Sand Toys are very cool! They have the numbers on one side and the number word on the other side. I know this may not seem like much but, as a former education it does help with their recognition of the letter and number words! Then on the bottom they also have the corresponding number of creatures. Love That! Fun and educational at the same time!
laurie damrose says
I like the bird pail and the tent.
Nicole Bear says
My little girl needs some sand toys bad! We go to the beach at least twice a week, and she is now sitting up and wanting to play. I want to avoid her eating the sand as much as possible so I need toys!!!
Gianna says
Their toys are always so much fun!
Rita Wray says
My grandsons would love the tent.
Ashley F says
That toy would be so much fun to have inside for rainy days when you just want to play and have a little adventure! The beach toys look like they would be great, too! I love Melissa and Doug toys, they are such awesome quality and encourage imaginative play (which is hard to come by with a lot of toys being focused on gadgetry rather than PLAY these days!)
Dickie Youngblood says
Melissa and doug toys have such nice stuff the sand toys are great and the tent will be a good idea later on for the new grandbaby. 😀
Christy K. says
My kids are a little older than yours but they would still love that tent! So cute!
Holly Schilling says
Does the nesting pails also make the shape of the sea creatures at the bottom of them? That would be fun if they did 🙂 Tents are fun for girls as well, my daughters use them as a clubhouse.
Patricia Hoffmeister says
My 9-month old granddaughter and her 8-year old sister could use some more toys.

How adorable is that!! Love it! (Of course, its Melissa and Doug…what’s not to love!?) My little man loves tents as well…but I also remember making tents out of kitchen tables as a little girl (and I was 100% girly), so I think it’s definitely just a kid in general thing:)

Tents are the best. I used to have one that you could put over the bed, and with four sisters, I finally felt I had my own world! I love those beach toys! I remember loving my bucket and spade!

I like your review on the Tootle Turtle Tent and FREE Blaze Flashlight. Years ago both my daughter and son had a tent in their rooms. They had many hours of fun and did a lot reading of their favorite books in them. Now I would love to

That tent is so cute. I feel like at the age my daughter is (1 and a half), it’s a great time for them to have a little tent or some other kind of getaway. We were thinking of maybe doing a curtain over this nook we have (it was a firewood nook at first, but then we converted it into a dog nook and now, a toddler nook?). A tent would be really fun too though. 🙂
