Toy Truck (Giveaway) -- Closed

Way back last year I told you I was going to have a giveaway, and finally, here I am!  All Modern Baby gave me two of these toy dump trucks (I picked them out), one for me and one for YOU (or one of you, anyway).

I am sure we all remember some of our favorite toys...when I think about my favorites I always think of the same two.  A fabric bodied baby doll with plastic head, hands, and feet (Whose hands and feet were chewed off by a horrible dog we had!  I kind of hated that dog.), who had eyelids that closed when you laid her down.  I really loved that doll and gave her the very original name of "baby."  I also had a wooden horse that pulled a wagon which had a clown on a bar and the clown flipped over and over again (thanks to a rubber band pulley system attached to the wheels) when you pushed the toy across the floor.  I loved that toy too.

I wonder what toys my kids will look back on as their favorites?

I don't know if this little dump truck will become one of Abe's enduring favorites, but he does quite enjoy it right now.  And maybe one of your little ones will like it too!

I was very impressed with the packaging too--plastic packing tape, of course, but inside, nothing!  Not even crumpled paper, which I thought was great and finally reasonable, because really, if this truck can't handle a few jostles inside a cardboard box it isn't going to make it through life in my house with my kids!

Abe really likes being able to use the bar on the truck as a handle and likes to carry it with him when we go places.

If you'd like to win this truck for your kid or yourself, leave me a comment on this post and tell me about one of your favorite childhood toys!  (Forgot to say:  I'll take comments for a week, then pick a winner through some random process.)

Oh, fun, Jonah would love a dump twuck. ;) One of my favorite toys as a kid was an old bedspread. My brother and I would roll around the back yard in it and slide down the stairs. Good times.

We love trucks at our house, especially tough ones! My favorite toy was a doll, that I cut all of her hair off of so she could be a baby.

I loved my stuffed dog named "Dogan" He was as tall as I was and when I was 5 my grandma sewed a cape on him. He was super Dogan!

My favorite toy was a stuffed dog named "Henry". Everytime we went to the store I saw a 6' one up on the shelves, but alas he never came home with me... if my 2yo Henry grows up to be as tall as his daddy, maybe I'll finally get my 6' tall Henry!

My son would love to have that toy! When I was a kid I had this little doll which would dance. It ran on batteries and would go round and round. It is my favorite toy ever.

my favorite childhood toy was our backyard jungle gym, I could do flips on it for hours... I think back now and wonder how my mom managed not to have a nervous breakdown every time we played on the thing - we climbed up to the top and jumped off it, and we liked to shake it when my little brother was climbing...

That truck would be so perfect for my little one! I had many favorites ad a chld, but the first thing that came to mind was this piece of teal silky fabric from my mom's fabric stash. It was a cape, a dress, a mermaid tail, baby blanket, veil, sling for a "broken" arm, you name it, I made it with this fabric. Funny how sometimes its just the simple things that provide the most entertainment...
