Hands-on fun for your little lab rats

Ho ho ho! Merry Contestmas! I have some goodies for you right here in my sack!

Okay, fine—I don’t have a sack. But I do have a stack of cool toys right here next to my desk. Today’s all about fun from SmartLab, purveyor of learning toys way too fun for your kids to notice they’re educational. Shhhhh! It’ll be our little secret.

Today’s contest will have four winners, each of whom will receive one of the following kits: RoboXplorer (a kit to build your own all-terrain vehicle), Blast-Off Rocket Racer (powered by vinegar and baking soda), Custom Motorcycle Studio (this sort of reminds me of those old Barbie Fashion Plates, but for boys!), and Extreme Secret Formula Lab (20 different experiments). Each kit is for either ages 7+ or 8+, and guarantee hours of fun unless your kid is just a mutant or something. (Not that I think your child is a mutant. Your children are simply lovely, really.)

Want to win one of these kits? First go read the contest rules, and the come back here and leave a comment on this entry by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 to be entered to win. I will randomly assign kits to randomly chosen winners, and it will be a random good time. Or something. (And hey, don’t forget to read the contest rules, seriously. Please? Thank you.)

Ready? Go!
