Tune in all week for hot Back-To-School Giveaways. We’ve got some great prizes for the kids, with a couple of special prizes to pamper mom!!! Look for a new 48-hour giveaway each morning and each afternoon, and be sure to check out all of the current giveaways for other great prizes!
Today's giveaway is especially for all the younger siblings who stand at the window longingly watching their big brothers and sisters head off to school!
Aren't these fuzzy little guys just about the cutest thing ever? Smooshies are basically a fuzzy pillow with velcro arms, legs, features, hair, etc. that allow your child to express their creativity. You can find extra parts to increase the combinations at Michael's and Joann Fabric's.
I don't know which of my kids was more enthralled with the Smooshie. My youngest just loves to snuggle and cuddle with it. But he's also enjoying ripping off random body parts and waving them around with delight. Note: Smooshies are intended for kids ages 3 and older, but I let me little guy give it a whirl while closely supervised.
The older kids got a little creative and got a kick out of seeing what "kooky creation" they could come up with by putting body parts in unusual places. I didn't anticipate my oldest showing much interest, but even he surprised me and decided to get in on the fun.
One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a complete Smooshies kit, ready to be snuggled and played with!

My favorite toy was the barbie house that my parents and grandpa made for me for Christmas when I was 7. I can still remember coming out into the living room and seeing it there. I don't have it anymore, but I wish I did so I could pass it along to my girls.
My favorite toy was my strawberrry shortcake doll. When you squeezed her stomach she smelled like strawberries!
I don't remember a favorite toy but I loved playing school! My kid is just 2 and I don't remember back that far :)

I had a doll called a Rosemary doll. It was about 36 inches tall and you could dance with it. I left it in New Jersey when we moved away. My son had a My Buddy doll that would have been somewhat similar(but for a boy of course).

None of my three kids has ever really become attached to one doll or blanket. We even tried to get my twins attached to these cute teddy bears we put in their crib every night, but they never did. Unusual,huh?
My favorite toy was my big all metal Tonka Truck. 18 years later my toddler plays with it and loves it!

My favorite toy was a Rainbow Brite doll...and no, my daughter hates dolls, so she doesn't have a similar toy. She did like the horse, Starlight, when she was younger! :D

I loved the old school little people
I absolutely loved my barbies, baby dolls, and sit and spin!! I still have some of my barbies/dolls to this day. I no longer have my sit and spin though! Thanks for yet another great giveaway!!! :)
I had a doll that my grandma made. It's body was crocheted right into a blanket that folded around it. It's pretty fragile, so it's in storage at my parents' house. I'm pretty sure my kids would tear it apart.
