This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Carolyn N.
Congratulations!

If you haven’t stopped by Oompa Toys before, you’re missing out. They have the most amazing selection of toys to bring out the best in your child – everything from art supplies to educational toys to getting ready for back-to-school.

From the site: “We offer our constantly expanding collection of European wooden toys, baby toys, educational toys, jewelry, bags and children’s room decor items to urbane and discerning adults who want to expose the young children in their lives to non-character branded, quality toys. We believe toys should be natural, non-violent and from manufacturers who provide safe and nurturing environments for their employees. We believe in fair, competitive pricing and strive for 100% customer satisfaction.”

We had the opportunity to review their Sunflower Backpack with five zippered pockets, thermal sleeve to keep drinks cold/hot, waterproof splash bag to keep wet things in or out, and lots of pouches for all your child’s school supplies.

The quality of this backpack was more than I could have hoped for. You see, during Girlie Girl’s last school year we went through 4 backpacks. Yup, you heard right – 4! Something always broke whether it was the zipper, the handle, or fraying edges. The Sunflower Backpack is made from quality materials and will definitely stand the test of time. And it’s just the right size for Girlie Girl to carry around. She’s already getting so many compliments from her school friends. We both love it!

Win it!

How would you like to win a Sunflower Backpack for your little flower? To enter:

  • Stop by Oompa Toys before midnight, August 25th.
  • Then come back and mention in comments your favorite item. That’s it!
  • A random winner will be selected and notified on August 26th.
  • The winner will then have 3 days to claim their prize.

To earn more entries, you may do one or all of the following. Each one counts as an extra ticket. Please leave a separate comment for each extra entry.

This giveaway is open to US addresses. Good luck!

    I like the French Kitchen set. I noticed from Head Start that kitchen toys were very popular with both boys as well as girls.

    I did do a search, however, for kitchen toys in the 5+ area range and it said “no matches”. Why have the option available as a link if it’s not going to take you anywhere?
