Encourage learning and being active.

Gift Basket Total: $2000

With the end of the month drawing near, we wanted to add a few more things to the Colossal Gift basket before we announce our winner on June 1st.

With music in mind, we have three great products to put you in a rockin’, boppin’ mood. On early mornings when I am not quite awake and don’t feel like talking, a little music is a great way to enjoy breakfast. Whenever my kids start acting up or crying in the car, I plop in one of these and instantly have a calmer, more content ride.

At eighteen months old, my youngest already has a discerning ear for what she likes to hear. Bobs & Lolo is her number one choice. Their fun, inspiring words have hit a chord with her and although she is barely talking, she happily hums along with many of their songs.

I, too, have been known to chime in on a few key notes or use their encouraging melodies at times. With song titles like Recycle with Me, Snappy Snacks and I Love Bugs, it is no surprise when one of us will start to sing throughout the day. Taking it to the next step, Bobs & Lolos has a wonderful DVD version of their unique singing. I don’t even mind sitting down to snuggle with the kids and watch it from start to finish.

Visit Bobs&Lolos.com to listen to the many different CD’s they have available, or enter here to win both an Action Packed CD and an On your Feet DVD.

It’s Hip-Hop, Baby is a new children’s DVD series for ages 2 to 6. These videos educate toddlers and preschoolers with fun child-friendly hip hop music. Children and even babies will want to move and groove and dance to the fun rhythms and beats in this educational DVD. There are several learning tools to help children of all ages learn key developmental concepts.

The first time I played this video, both my kids sat mesmerized. The second time they both were up dancing, grooving and following the other children on the screen. Quickly, they copied and mimicked the moments of the other kids in the video and began making moves of their own. Fun for everyone, this is a great way to get some fun and exercise indoors.

You can watch a demo video of all their DVD’s at their website, or enter here to win a copy of Rockin Dance Party.

If you ask my son what his favourite CD is, he’ll tell you it’s “The one with his name in it”. That’s right, the wonderful team at Name Your Tune made a CD with his very unique name in it. I had to wait until they went back into the recording studio, but it was worth it. I received a delightful CD filled with fantastic songs all singing his name. It was such a hit, I got one for his friends Morgan, Tanya and Owen – just a few of the names they already had in their extensive library of over 4200 manes.

This is something I know kids really love, as now my daughter has her own and they both argue over which one gets played (hint: to  make it fair, I keep one in the car the other in the house). It makes a perfect gift and what mom wouldn’t want to play it years form now at their child’s wedding as a walk down memory lane.

Name Your Tune has other great products in including books, blankets and lunchboxes – all personalized. My son’s race car fleece blanket with his name on it is a must have at bed time. See this and all their great products at nameyourtune.com or enter here to win a CD that you can personalize for your own child.

With just a few days left to enter, get your name in now. The winner will of the Colossal Gift Basket will be announced June 1st.

Standing on my Soapbox,
