It’s a cardboard wonderland

By Mir

June 7, 2010

I wonder what I’m doing now. I mean, not now, when I’m writing this, last week, but now, when you read it. Wow, future publishing is confusing.

Anyway! I am off on vacation, but you probably aren’t. And I’m feeling badly about that. So—a contest for you while I’m away. Sound good? Yes?

Allow me to introduce you to the cool Calafant cardboard structures available at Creative Toyshop. They’re so cool, we’ve covered them over at Cool Mom Picks several times. Maybe you’re familiar with them already. But if you aren’t, check ’em out: It’s a dollhouse (or castle, or whatever) made out of cardboard, that your kid gets to assemble (without glue, very easy) and decorate before getting down to the business of pretend play. If they ever tire of it (not likely, but kids do have a pesky habit of growing up), into the recycle bin it goes. Very cool.

Creative Toyshop has been generous enough to offer one Calafant structure up as a contest prize. The winner will receive either the Calafant Dollhouse or the Calafant Pirate Fortress (my personal favorite, because, come on, pirates!). You don’t have to share it with your kids, even.

Want to win? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post telling me whether you want the dollhouse or the pirate fortress by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Friday, June 11th, 2010 for a chance to win. As always, winner determined by random number generation and ability to follow the rules. Please note: I’m making the entry period for this one a little longer, on account of my trip, and the winner will not be announced until next Monday.

Ready? Go!

Jen R on June 7, 2010 at 12:17 pm

Well, I guess it wouldn’t go over well to ask for the dollhouse since I only have a boy and no girl. So pirates it is.
Patricia on June 7, 2010 at 12:20 pm

Pirate fortress, please!!!
Jeannette on June 7, 2010 at 12:21 pm

I had a conversation with my daughter 6 year old daughter last night about how she wants a doll house. That her brothers Batman Cave wasn’t working for her anymore. I don’t want to invest in the whole doll house and furniture, so this would be perfect!!!!
Ashley Lyttle on June 7, 2010 at 12:21 pm

Love this! Dollhouse here please!
Jill on June 7, 2010 at 12:54 pm

My 9 year old has unexpectedly expressed a recent desire for a dollhouse. This is entirely out of character, because she’s far (far!) from “girly”. But I am too frugal to spend a fortune on a real dollhouse for her. This could potentially move me from horrible mother to mother of the year.
Heather R. on June 7, 2010 at 12:56 pm

My boys would LOVE the pirate fortress!! What a super cool idea!
Cindy on June 7, 2010 at 12:57 pm

lifeasamama on June 7, 2010 at 1:05 pm

As much as I’d enjoy the pirates, I have two girly girls. And three girly girl cousins who live in town. It would have to be the dollhouse.
Katherine on June 7, 2010 at 1:07 pm

Nail biting here…can’t choose….must choose.

The dollhouse would be my first choice – if only because a dollhouse is something my little girl does not yet have while her big brother has plenty of pirates.
Anne P on June 7, 2010 at 2:08 pm

Hmm… hard call… I’ll say dollhouse.
Heidi on June 7, 2010 at 2:10 pm

Yes, the cardboard play toys are terrific. Even my daughter would like the pirate playhouse. I’d guess that they are also recyclable.
