natural pod. {giveaway!}



In an age where television and video games monopolize our kids free time, it's always refreshing to find companies that encourage and support free play. Natural Pod is a company full of toys that bring imagination and creative play to life. One of my favorite things about Natural Pod is their wide variety; from musical instruments to stacking toys to house play there are toys for every age and every personality that don't skimp on style or quality.

"As parents we found it increasingly difficult to find quality natural play items that supported creative and imaginative play. During our search, we soon realized that many parents shared our passion. We hope to encourage more families to discover the benefits of natural toys and rediscover a true sense of play. These items can become an heirloom, passed down from one generation to the next."
I think you'll find today's giveaway especially exciting. Natural Pod wants to help bring creative play into the homes of Tangled and True readers by offering one of you a package full of heirloom quality toys for your little one. These are toys you'll want to pass on from generation to generation. You will fall in love.

One winner will receive:


Heirloom Rainbow Soft Block Set (a $37 value)
Made from natural, certified organic cottons and delicately finished with one of a kind rainbow inspired stitching. The perfect toy for little ones learning to pick things up, stacking and sorting.


Organic Nature Inspired Ball (a $22 value)
Cloth balls are gentle toys based on a simple and classic design. The balls are quiet and soft and are sure to be loved all through childhood.


Organic Bamboletta Blanket Doll - Velour (a $28 value)
Made with soft, organic cotton velour. Easily washable on the gentle cycle. You can wet and freeze.


Speedy Wooden Car (a $22 value)
A solid little car made of beech wood and real rubber tires. Drives smoothly and is the perfect size for small children's hands.

Wow - such great stuff. Right now it is a toss-up as to whether the Buildable Treehouse or the A Simple Hearth is my favorite - I guess I will chose both, as my son and eldest daughter would love the treehouse and both my girls would love the hearth :)

Also, the fagus vehicle collection is amazing! Thanks for turning me on to this site!

It's hard to choose. I especially like the stacking rainbows and waves but the cars totally appeal to me due to my two sons who are obsessed with anything with wheels. But with a baby girl on the way I would love to win this giveaway!
