Halloween Costume Giveaway

With Halloween quickly approaching, we think it's fitting to do a costume giveaway. After all, kids love to dress up to pretend, and we love to inspire their imaginations!

Role playing is imperative for healthy early childhood development. It allows children to use their creativity, explore emotions and interactions, develop empathy and a sense of self. We encourage children (and kidaults) to creatively play all year round — not just at Halloween.  

Melissa & Doug make some really amazing pretend play role sets that also make high-quality Halloween costumes. Each costume is designed to fit children ages 3 - 6 years of age and features appropriate accessories.

We're giving away two costumes — one costume a piece for two different winners. The winners choose which costume they'd like to have. 

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Like both aMuse Toys and Melissa & Doug on Facebook.

2. Leave a comment on this blog post letting us know that you liked both Facebook pages. Don't worry if you're already a fan of both, it just saves you a step!

3. Cross your fingers and hope for the best! Two winning families will be chosen randomly on October 15, 2011. Winners will be announced via the aMuse Toys Facebook and Melissa & Doug Facebook pages on October 18, 2011. Make sure to fill in your email so we can contact you.

Perfect Pairings: Princess Lovers

There’s nothing we love more than making fun and unique gift suggestions for the loved ones in your life. For the next few weeks we will focus on items the compliment one another to make a perfect toy pairing. This week we’re focusing on our princess-loving customers.

Sleepy Princess & the Pea by HABA is a beautiful stacking and motor skill refinement game. As with all of HABA’s games, you can alter the rules to make it simple or complex to meet the skill level of the players. The adorable game pieces are also great for creating narratives through solitary pretend play. 

Players take turns stacking mattresses on top of the pea until all pieces are balanced into a wobbling mattress tower. Each player rolls the die and has the princess hop around the disk to determine whether they may place a mattress or remove one. The rules can be changed to make it cooperative or competitive.

Every child loves to pretend play and costumes help their imaginations soar. Melissa & Doug’s line of high-quality role play costumes include a pink princess outfit that’s great for perfect for ages 3 - 6. It includes a scepter and jeweled tiara.

Princess lovers will love to play Sleepy Princess & the Pea while dressed up in full regalia!
