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!

I have a niece that would absolutely LOVE that!!!
I’m all into educational toys. I like to be the cool aunt that gets them something they like but I hate to waste money on a toy that will be forgotten about and given/thrown away after two months.
I want to give them something that will either be a lifelong gift or something that will at least make them smarter during the 3 months they play with it :)
Would love to win for my adorable nephew!!
Please add me to the randonly generated list of recipients. =) I guess it wouldn’t be so random if you did that.
This looks like something my toddler would LOVE!
