Win "Let’s Play Mail" from Craftsbury Kids

Posted by Mamanista on Nov 17, 2007 | 89 Comments

Felt Mail Play Set

Craftsbury Kids is one of Mamanista’s favorite toy stores. All the toys at this mom-owned store were handcrafted by independent artisans and/or manufactured by small cottage industries. These are toys meant to inspire imaginative play and to offer an alternative to the generic, mass-produced plastic toys that are so prevalent today. Since all of their toys are safe and non-toxic, they earned a spot in Mamanista’s Toys to Trust Guide.

We love their gorgeous children’s art and sweet dolls and toys, like the “Let’s Play Mail” set. This felt mailbox set will inspire hours of imaginative play as your child “addresses” and “stamps” letters, postcards and packages before stuffing them into the mail bag and “delivering” them to the hand-crafted mail box. “Let’s Play Mail” was recently featured in Cookie Magazine as a top toy pick.
“Let’s Play Mail” sells for $48 at Craftsbury Kids, but Mamanista readers can get 10% off “Let’s Play Mail” and all the great Craftsbury Kids toys with coupon code “mama07.” (Coupon code good through December 12, 2007.)

    My biggest, bestest love was the Rose Pavilion. T would be over the moon! But the wooden tool set is more in the realm of reality for us, as well as being something she really likes to play with. :)

    My son would love either one of the trains, or the race car, or the airplane, or the tow truck. Pretty much any of the wooden vehicles.

    My daughter would love the cradle. It’s gorgeous.

    I adore so many of those cute clothing items! I can just imagine how sweet my baby’s face would look in one of the Alpaca Coverall Hats, or how cute my prechooler would look in the Froggie Hat. But the Butterfly Dress is my absolute favorite. Too sad it is too small for my 10 year old and way to big for my 4 month old.

    I happily have your button in my sidebar.

    Thanks for the chance and good luck to everyone participating!
