The winner is:
Cindy says My grandson would love this toy and I need some big boy toys at my house now that he will be turning 2 in August. I enjoy quiet time in my sunroom in the morning with a good cup of coffee, but am now looking forward to spending some time on the porch at the lake this summer. Thanks for the opportunity.
I got a chance to check out a few new toys from the Fisher Price spring line and I am very happy that Fisher Price agreed to give one of each toy to you guys! So I will have 4 giveaways over the next four days. Then I have a few things for mom coming as well that you will love!
So the first is this Thomas the Train Take Along Tidmouth Shed. As you guys know, Thomas is a very popular guy around our house so this was by far my little girl’s favorite toy. Interestingly, my 1 year old is pretty taken with Thomas as well.
These take along toys are fun because they fold right up and have a little handle so your child can tote them very easily from place to place. One of the things that I liked best about this toy is that it literally unfolds right out of the box- there is no assembly and no little pieces to get lost (or eaten!)
The Tidmouth Shed comes with one Thomas the Train- you can buy other take n play engine cars and they will all attach via magnet to each other.
This little track will also extend to the other Take n Play toys so you can make it as big as you like. The retail value is $30 and it can be purchased from Fisher Price HERE.
You can see some of the other Take Along toys from Amazon HERE.
When we first opened Thomas I thought- uh oh. This might be the only thing in our house that doesn’t light up or make noises so I was thinking it might not hold their attention for very long. Wrong! Both of my girls played with this for quite awhile and I have to say it was incredibly pleasant to have a little peace and quiet!
So if you have a Thomas fan in your house, you can enter to win a Tidmouth Shed for your little one.
Just leave a comment below letting me know what you would do to enjoy a few minutes of quiet time in your house! I was quite happy to make dinner in peace and quiet while the girls took Thomas out for a few spins. I actually read a recipe all the way through and didn’t have to listen to whirling or ringing or singing songs the entire time which was just lovely.
I will select a winner on Saturday at 10am. If you are viewing this in a reader or email you need to click through to the blog to submit your comment. I am very sorry but due to my personal time constraints any entries via Facebook, Twitter or email will not count.
GOOD LUCK!!
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post in any way and all opinions expressed are my own. We did receive a sample Thomas for review.
I would be either playing the piano or scrapbooking….please pick me! I so need a few minutes to myself! Love your site! Thanks 🙂
My son would absolutely love this toy, I would use quiet time to read my book when it is not late at night and I am totally exhausted!
Great giveaway!
Wow! Thomas is soooo popular in our home. This would be great for my 2 1/2 year old son. I would use my quiet time to check out MFA, of course!
I am a coupon newbie and have been following your blog for couple weeks. There is always something new or different from other coupon blogs. I am a busy mom with 2 kids. The first thing I want to do is to check coupon blogs once I got any time. My 2.5 year old son will love to have this Take Along Shed adding to his Thomas collection.
If I had some time I would love to build more tracks with my son. He love Thomas train tracks. He is only 3 but he is getting quite good at building them on his own. That is when his 10 month old sister is not up to distroy them!
I LOVE getting dinner ready … when my husband is home to entertain the kids. It’s peaceful. My kids love Thomas so this would be great! Thanks!
I love when my daughter “accidentally” get engrossed in her dollhouse and forgets about mommy! That’s when I get online and read your blog and print my coupons!!! Maybe Thomas would work as well!
I would take few quiet minutes to take a breath, sit down and not have to answer the question “why?” 70 times over the next hour 🙂 My 3 year old would love this! And so would my 3 month old (seems to like trains)..Thank you for the chance
I think I would finish my cup of coffee with a few quiet minutes. Wow. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Ooo! A few minutes of free time…Hm…I think I’d sort through baby clothes waiting for baby #3 to make their appearance this fall, and I’d catch up on writing down the cute sayings of my 2 daughters that I don’t want to forget. 🙂
My daughter LOVES trains and would really enjoy this toy! I am always on the hunt for quiet entertainment for the kids so that really excites me about this one!
OH and during my quiet time I usually watch some of my shows that have been DVRd but never watched.
I would catch up on some of my favorite shows IF I could ever get some free time. : )
Yay, my son would love this.
With quiet time I would make a phone call and finish a conversation.
I put my two boys (3 1/2 and 1) on the same nap schedule as soon as I could after my 2nd son was born. Now they both take a nap from 12:45-3:30 or so which gives me my quiet time of the day. I get to check my emails, blogs, read, or do housework.
I watch my grandson every Saturday. I would love a toy that would keep him busy for more than a few minutes. He loves to play with cars and any toy that moves and makes noise.
I would love to read a magazine or book! We love Thomas!!
Thanks for the chance to win! I have one of the biggest Thomas fans out there! Hard to find those quiet times since my husband is deployed right now, so I soak up what I can when I can with homemade card making to send to my hubby and other loved ones I am away from right now. I find it very relaxing to get some creative energy out, and do something for someone else, and then I like to catch up on email such as MFA of course. Again thanks for the opportunity to win….have a goodie!
I would actually get more than one paragraph read of a real novel!!!
What would I do with a few minutes? I would probably just sit in our morning room and enjoy hearing the laughter coming from the other room while the girls are playing. My girls would love this! Thanks for the opportunity to get a great toy!
I want to win for my sister. She can’t seem to do anything for peace and quiet these days.
I would enjoy some coffee and my devotion time with the Lord
I would love to sit down and read some of a book. I don’t even remember what’s it’s like to read during the day, it’s always late at night after everyone is in bed! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have two boys and they both LOVE Thomas. But are your kids actually quiet while they play? I get many, many train noises and whistles while my kids play. Peace and quiet sound like heaven!
My grandson would love this toy and I need some big boy toys at my house now that he will be turning 2 in August.
I enjoy quiet time in my sunroom in the morning with a good cup of coffee, but am now looking forward to spending some time on the porch at the lake this summer. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would finally sit down and read a book or maybe all those free magazines I get!! Thanks for the chance.
i would enjoy a cup of hot tea!! to be able to drink it all without doing any kind of dance to keep it away from little man while he tries to climb up my legs would be fabulous!!! c’mon randomizer , pick me pick me!
I’d love to take a bath….heck even a shower!
I would love Thomas for my kids. Then maybe I can fold the multiple loads of laundry piling up on the glider or have some time to call an old friend.
Thanks!
I love to enjoy a good book when I’m home alone!
I am with you, cooking dinner without a child hanging onto my legs the whole time would be great. And my little boy loves any kind of train/car so this would definitely keep him occupied! 🙂
I would catch up on all the shows I have on the DVR that I rarely get to watch!
my grandson Ben loves Thomas the Train. He would love this
I would read! Books, magazines, emails. I have a lot of catching up to do
I like to work in the garden!
My son LOVES Thomas the Train stuff. He has the Knapford Station TakeALong. He loves it and I love it- it really keeps him occupied! I would love some quiet time while I take a shower! ha..no interruptions!
Oh boy, I can easily answer this question.
First, I would in this order sit quietly and enjoy eating my favorite candy bar, then I would paint my fingernails and toenails and then put my feet up and read a good novel. Oh, this sounds like heaven.
I’d like to read some of those magazines that I’ve subscribed to. My son Thomas loves Thomas the Train.
Wow, my son would love that toy! I would use the quiet time to do some scrapbooking. My son will be 3 yrs old in Sept and I’m only half way through his baby book. =o)
I would definitely get some Spring Cleaning done and have a few boxes of items ready to donate to charity. Thanks for the opportunity!
Oh, my grandbabies would like this. To have quiet time, I need to stay home!
dicity
I might sit down and write a letter to someone I love… or proof one of my husband’s many final papers for school! My little one turns two in less than 3 weeks and would LOVE to see a Thomas among the gifts. 🙂
I would love to have 10 minutes or so to zone out. Id love just quiet! to be able to hear my own self think lol!
My kids love trains and we would love to be picked! I think I would have to read a book w/ the quiet time 🙂 Thank you for all your helpful hints! I appreciate all the homework you do to save us money 🙂
I think I would just take a nap or maybe paint my toe nails lol. Love your site! My son would love the train set.
Quiet time? Four kids?… I think I would be in such a state of shock that it would be over before I was able to regroup! And thank you for helping all of us faithful readers to save in this challenging economy… it is appreciated!
I would love to pull out my sewing machine! thanks for all you do!
I know my little guy would love it. Oh, I would love to make dinner in peace!
I would love to enjoy a good book while my daughter and/or son, hopefully both, play with this.
