We don’t do a lot of toy-buying in our house. I won’t bore you with the reasons why, but suffice it to say that new toys are big-deal, must-be-a-birthday-or-Christmas special events. We don’t get new toys because it’s Tuesday and we happen to be at Target and LOOK! STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES!
So while I’m probably not a toy expert, I do put a lot of thought into which toys actually make it into our playroom. This little computer, for instance, is probably the best $20 I ever spent on a toy. EVER. And even better? Our boy learned a whole bunch from playing with that little VTech laptop. As a result, we’re VTech fans.
And that is why I’m tickled to be able to give away a pretty FAYNCEE (by my standards, at least) kids’ toy: VTech’s KidiArt Studio. KidiArt Studio hooks up to your computer (PC only) or your television, and your kids can create works of art that show up on the “big screen.” You can even save their masterpieces to your computer and email those sweet creations to grandparents. The KidiArt Studio comes complete with a little low-res digital camera and – here’s the great part for moms of little boys who might not love refining those small motor skills – a digital “pencil” that enables kids to write and draw all the live-long day.
One word to the wise: KidiArt Studio requires 8 (EIGHT!) AA batteries, and they’re not included. I think a power cord would be an excellent addition to this toy, but nobody asked me, so I’ll just smile and continue to be delighted that one of your cute kids is going to get a free toy, amen.
If you’d like to win VTech’s KidiArt Studio, just leave a comment and tell me so. Because of shipping costs (it’s a big toy in a big box), this giveaway is restricted to folks who have a mailing address in the continental United States.
I’m so sorry, Canada. Please know that I still love you deeply.
Comments will remain open until Wednesday, November 26th, at which point I’ll pick a winner with random.org.
Thanks for playing, everybody!
This giveaway is now closed.
Oooh, my 6 year old would love something like this! Fingers crossed… :)
I have a 3 1/2 year old niece who might enjoy this!
Oh…thanks for the chance to win this! My kids would love it!
we have the art studio and love it! my 4 yo is playing with it as we type! one of the best gifts ever!
I’d love this for my girls!
I’m sure my girls would love one of these… and we could cut down on the number of trees our household consumes on a daily basis in paper usage if we had one, I bet! Thanks for the chance!!
Wow, sign me up!
That is AWESOME! And the fact that it lets my kids create new pictures and such that doesn’t require a 100 MILLION pieces of paper – and oh how I wish I were kidding – that end up all over my house? That just makes it that much more amazing! I hope I win! Or I may actually be forced to shell out for this one!
I just purchased our first little Vtech computer to give my baby for Christmas – every time we go to Target she parks herself in front of it and essentially wears out the batteries playing with it so long. You can’t go wrong with Vtech anything…this sounds fantastic!
My kids would love this!!
I know a little boy who would love this!
Sounds like fun!
Ohhhh I wanna win! That sounds really fun! Not the 8 batteries and all, but hey we can deal with that. What a fun give away. Yeah VTech!
I’m in! My kids would LOVE this! :-)
Want it…need it…for my little girl! We really want to not pay for college and getting her started out toward an academic scholarship with this toy is just what we need :).
I would love to get oe of those for my daughter! Perfect!!
i’m thinking winning a FREE KidArt Studio would make up for the cost of 8 batteries…at least for the first couple of rounds!
i’ve seen the commercial! my toddler would love it! :)
Any help with Christmas is always appreciated! Thanks!
I would love to have this for my granddaughters!
ok, ok, I accept your apology…Canada still loves you deeply too :)

Boo, hiss for discrimination against Mac’s! But I will give it to my niece if I win.
My 5-year old artist in the making son would love this! In fact, if I don’t win, I should probably buy it for him (although I won’t get the credit, Santa will!). Thanks for the giveaway. I hope we win!

I would love to win. I was looking at that in the store the other day and thought it looked like a pretty neat deal. VTech has some great stuff! Thanks for the chance!
…love it! My girls are all about the creativity and spend hours at the kitchen table working on fine works of art! I know they’d adore this! And, I feel the same way about toys…we don’t buy them. And when we do, it takes much deliberation!
