Grateful Giveaways #12: Pocoyo SwiggleTraks Prize Pack

December 2, 2011 by Deal Seeking Mom

Pocoyo is fast becoming the world’s most popular preschooler with a hit television series that entertains audiences on over 150 networks around the world, including Nick Jr., PBS and Univision in the U.S., and next up we have a Pocoyo prize pack for one lucky winner!

The show follows the adventures of the fun-loving preschooler and his friends Elly (the elephant), Pato (the duck) and Loula (the dog), and engages audiences with music, dance and humor, encouraging children to learn through laughter. Pocoyo has charmed parents and pop culture mavens as well: Pocoyo has amassed more than 50 million hits per month on its YouTube Channel and more than 600 million hits in the last two years alone; he has 525,000 friends on Facebook; and 11 million unique visitors have experienced Pocoyo’s online virtual environment.

Inspired by the imaginative Pocoyo and his friends, the stars of the CGI animated series produced by Zinkia Entertainment, the Pocoyo SwiggleTraks Feature Set complements Bandai’s existing line of adorable Pocoyo plush, vehicles and bath toys.

The Pocoyo toy line from Bandai America Incorporated is now available at retail locations nationwide, including Toys “R” Us, select Walmart stores, walmart.com and Amazon.com.

SwiggleTraks Feature Set

A new twist – literally – on classic track play for preschoolers, the Pocoyo SwiggleTraks Feature Set is now available at retail locations nationwide and online.

Designed to inspire learning through laughter, the Pocoyo and Friends Swiggle Traks Feature Track With Bridge empowers young children to create a track play set that is uniquely their own. The SwiggleTraks system features colorful, flexible track pieces that are simple to connect and easy to add onto, and comes with a motorized, musical Pocoyo vehicle, as well as a moving bridge that puts the exciting “swiggle” movement in SwiggleTraks.

In addition to offering delightful, dynamic action, the SwiggleTraks system offers meaningful playtime for preschoolers and parents. Said Kendy Gioia, early childhood development expert and director of the Bandai Preschool Lab, “The SwiggleTraks system not only offers toddlers the chance to engage in independent, self-directed play, but also encourages fine motor skill and cognitive development, like the use of hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity to connect the flexible pieces and control the moving track. These activities are beneficial in preparing preschoolers for the more refined skills needed in school.”

Christmas 1969. Seventeen-year-old Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced Mike to sell the candle to her.

To America’s favorite brand of premium scented candles…

Yankee Candle has become the #1 most-recognized name in the candle business and the country’s best selling candle brand by sharing their customers’ “passion for fragrance” in every product they bring to market.

Today, with over 150 fragrances, Yankee Candle offers the world’s largest and most compelling selection of candle and home fragrance scents. In addition to the renowned Housewarmer line of scented candles, they also provide a wide range of seasonal and specialty scented candles, home fragrance products, car fresheners and candle accessories.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a set of four large seasonal jar candles!
