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!

Our favorite toy hands DOWN was our trampoline. I cannot tell you how many castles/lava pools/circuses it became as my 4 siblings and I grew up…good memories.

My favorite toy was my lite brite–I could push pegs in for hours! My daughter is still too young for one, she would probably try to taste each colored peg!

My favorite toy as a kid was my cricket doll. I loved her because she was life sized & talked to me. She had cassette tapes with stories & games. I still have her, but my daughter isn’t old enough to play with her yet.

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.
