*Contest closed* The winner is Night Owl Mama!
A few weeks ago my friends at Mom Select asked me if I wanted to review a new building toy, the Fisher Price TRIO, give one away to our readers, and offer my honest opinion of the toy. Since I have a 5-year-old son, I was all “Sure! I’d love to!” because, seriously, FREE TOY! When the TRIO came, Joshua was suuuuper-excited to open it. I just let him go for it and observed him playing with it over the next couple of weeks.
He REALLY loves it. Honest-to-goodness. The toy is challenging enough to be fun and keep him occupied but very do-able for a 5-year-old. For instance, Joshua has built many of the pictures on the front of the box by himself, and he and my husband made a SWEET airplane together. Here’s Joshua with the house he built:
Joshua has also made by himself, a really cool helicopter and a TRIO car, among other various wild and wacky creations. He loves the set and I think we’ll be getting him an add-on set for Christmas so he can make even more cool and colorful designs.
Does the TRIO sound like it would be fun for your kiddo? Well you have the chance to win one! Here’s how to enter:

When I was a kid I loved anything that had to do with the Weebles. I had every Weebles toy known to man. Of course, the Weebles I knew were probably a choking hazard, and the little plastic faces peeled off when they got old. But I lived to tell about it . . .
AND I just pimped you out on Twitter.
My favorite childhood toy was a kitchen and set of dishes–they were metal. My Mom still has them and my daughter plays with them when she visits Grandma.
I loved this really loud annoying piano toy!

My favorite toys as a child were “Little People” and I mean the wooden ones that were round, with only a body and a head. No arms no legs. They were totally awesome.
