Now YOU get to give away the hottest Fisher-Price infant toy of 2014!

One of the hottest new toys from Fisher-Price is the adorable Laugh and Learn Crawl Around Car. I heard it was so popular that they had wanted to share one with each of the Fisher Price Ambassadors but they kept running out before they could even send one to us!

Have you seen it? This is the latest TV ad. (If it doesn’t display for you here, you can also view it on the Laugh and Learn Crawl Around Car page on the Fisher-Price site.)

I would have loved having this in the house when my boys were wee. I know they would have loved it! It’s got buttons to press, levers to twist, balls to roll down ramps and shapes to sort. Please note this is NOT a moving toy – it’s perfect for little ones to crawl around and learn to pull themselves up with.

Here’s some great tips from the learning experts at Fisher-Price on how parents can play with baby and this toy together to make learning fun:

The Crawl-Around Car puts baby in the driver’s seat with a fun-filled learning vehicle just their size!

• Encourage exploration and discovery. As baby interacts with the different play features for the first time, show excitement and reinforcement as you label the different objects on the car. “You found the horn! That’s a key. Let’s see what it does.”

• Use word descriptors. It helps your child understand meaning and fosters developing language skills. “This is a BIG red car. Let’s find the green shape and put it into the door.”

• Show how to open and close the door. Baby will learn about opposites while opening and closing it…”Can you open the door? Now let’s see you close it!”

• Encourage early role play. Ask your turn on the car to go for a ride…”Where should we go today?”

• Introduce opposites. Roll a ball fast, then roll it slowly, talking about actions and opposites.

• Play Hide-and-Seek with the shapes—helping your child learn that things can disappear, then reappear.

• Help draw comparisons for your baby in your everyday life. “Remember when mommy drives you in the car? Our car is white, this car is red. Turn the key to start the car. What sounds does a car make? Vrooom!”

Super cute, eh? I can see this being great for any baby old enough to sit up all the way up to the toddler years.

And now, my bloggy friends, here’s a twist on the usual giveaway: YOU get to give this away! From today through November 1, I’ll be taking nominations and at the end of the week, I’ll randomly choose one lucky winner from amongst all the nominees. There are two conditions beyond the usual fine print, however. The first is that you cannot nominate yourself or your significant other living with you to win. The second is that either the nominee or you must be local to the Ottawa area for delivery. I have the car here and am willing to drop it off within the Ottawa area, but because it’s so bulky I fear the shipping charges may be a little out of control.

So here’s a recap of the fine print:

  1. This is a giveaway for a Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Crawl-Around Car.
  2. By entering this giveaway, you are nominating someone else to win the toy.
  3. To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post telling me who you are nominating to win and why. For example, “I’m nominating my friend Dani because her blog makes me laugh.” Or “I’m nominating my daughter-in-law Emma because she puts up with my son and gave me a beautiful granddaughter.” You get the point? Please don’t use full names, we can sort all that stuff out later if you win.
  4. Either you or the nominee must live within reasonable driving distance of Ottawa, Ontario. Let’s call that within 45 minutes drive from the Parliament Buildings.
  5. This giveaway will run until 11:59 pm EDT on Friday November 1, 2013.
  6. The winner will be contacted via e-mail and arrangements will be made for delivery before November 30, 2013.

Sound good? This is the first time I’ve done a reverse giveaway like this, so if you’re the lucky nominator of the winner, you’ll have to bear with me as we figure out the logistics – you can keep your nomination a secret if you like, for example. I will work out all the details with the winning nominator so this is as fun as possible for everyone.

Remember, you are nominating someone else to win, because it’s fun to share, right? 😉 Good luck to everyone!

  1. I nominate my bestie, Sarah. She just had a little man, Robert. He is her third baby, and I think he deserves a toy all his own. Sarah is one of the most supportive and loving people I know. She helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life (including losing both my parents, one to heart disease, the other to cancer), and has celebrated the happiest times with me (She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and came to the hospital an hour and a half away from her home on the day my son was born). She is a teacher, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a wife and a mother that inspires everyone she meets.

  2. I nominate my friend, Kelly!

    She just found out she’s expecting.

    And it was a complete surprise (they weren’t planning on having more)!

    And she’s having twins!!!

    Kelly literally saved my life when the Little Man was wee. He had some serious health issues that caused him not to sleep for more than 45 minutes at a time. For over 11 months. Kelly was a complete stranger we ended up hiring to hang out with the baby for a few hours a couple of times a week so I could sleep. She would bring her own little one with her and the two boys hung out. They learned to crawl, walk, talk and play together . . . and we’ve been great friends ever since. It’s been seven years since we first met, but I still get teary eyed thinking about what meeting Kelly meant to me. She saved my sanity and then some and I’m still SO grateful for that!

    (Great idea for the giveaway, Dani – I love being able to nominate someone else!)

  3. ooooooooohhhh!!!!!
    i nominate my friend jennybunz ( since we are able to use aliases:)!)
    she had a little, beautiful boy, james, in the spring and is busy being a wonderful, loving mommy:).
    she is just a lovely, wonderful, supportive friend and i adore her.
    this would just be a complete surprise.
    fun, dani! thanks:)

  4. I nominate my sister-in-law “Holly”. She is expecting her first child and has yet to start gathering her baby items.

    My mother-in-law lives overseas and it will be very difficult for her to be here. While she struggles with the possibility that Grandma won’t be able to be a part of the big day, I think winning this would be a very happy surprise to brighten her mood.

    And this would also bring a smile to our father-to-be’s face since he fixes cars for a living 😉 (It seems very fitting for their growing family.)

    Thanks for the opportunity Dani!

  5. I nominate my sister Joanie and her little guy, 8 month old Andrew. She’s an awesome first time mom!

  6. I nominate my amazing sister, LM, who is expecting her second little dude in December. LM has been through some epic life struggles but has come through the other side as a fierce, funny, wonderful woman, sister, aunt and mom. She is amazingly generous with everything she has and is a very supportive friend to other young women with similar struggles. She hosts playgroups at her place too so it would make a great new addition for lots of kids to enjoy.

  7. What a fun way to do the giveaway!

    I nominate my friend Jess who had her little guy a few months ago. She’s so sweet.
