Summer Birthday Bash! Mudpuppy Review & Giveaway




I love toys and games that encourage my kids' creativity and imagination. I also love things that will help them to learn, even if they don't realize it. At Mud Puppy, you can find tons of puzzles, journals, banks and more that will encourage your kids to make the most of their play time. They have unique designs that are suitable for all different age groups and they have plenty of things that will be fun for both girls and boys.






For our review, my daughter picked out the Butterfly Money Bank.This is the perfect birthday gift for kids of all ages. My daughter is a tween and starting to understand the value of money. She gets $5 a week allowance if she does her chores, and she has been wanting a bank to save up for the larger items she wants, like a 3DS. These banks have three slots. One for spending, one for sharing, and one for saving. This helpful system will allow her to keep track of her money. Plus the adorable little lock and key will keep her little brother out of it.  The butterfly design is nice for her age, but would also work for younger kids and even teens. The banks are available in a variety of designs for both boys an girls and at only $13, they are affordable as well as functional.





The money saving banks are only one example of hundreds of other fun toys available at Mudpuppy that your children are sure to love. They have adorable stickers, books, magnetic figures and more. And if you check out Galison, their sister company, you will find lots of fun things for grownups too including stationary, address books, and lots of other ways to stay organized.  They also have cards for all the holidays and lovely themed gifts. If you want to make a purchase, now would be a great time. New Age Mama readers are being offered an exclusive discount. Just enter the code ZZZ2 to get 15% off your purchase!






In honor of the Summer Birthday Bash, Mudpuppy is going to give one of my readers a bank of their choice. To enter, please visit Mudpuppy and tell me another item that you would love to have.
