holiday with the corps.... Playskool Musical Gear Center review and giveaway!

**CLOSED**

With the holidays right around the corner, we have been stocking up on some educational and age-appropriate toys for Amelia.  Let me tell you this – she is racking up good so far.  As first time parents, we of course have already gone overboard on Amelia’s first gift-getting holiday.  Factor in grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides…. Let’s just say that we are going to have to get a big tree this year!

Now, once Amelia gets past playing (and chewing!) with all of the bright and shiny wrapping paper, one of the best toys tucked under the tree for her this year is going to be the Playskool Musical Gear Center.

This fun playset uniquely incorporates three of your little one’s growing senses while teaching cause and effect.  Sight – The bright and funky gears come in fun, primary colors.  Each gear has a sweet smiling face painted on.  All the gears move and groove together to keep your babe captivated!  Touch – With so many unique shapes with the moving gears and smooth balls, your child is sure to love playing with all the individual parts of this toy!  Hear – With the simple push of a button, your child activates the musical portion of the toy, keeping little ears wanting more!

In addition to being a wonderful teaching toy beginning at 9 months – the Playskool Musical Gear Center is designed to grow with your child!  The gears become great stacking toys for that wonderful stage in your toddler’s life.  I love toys that grow along with Amelia, it means we really get more bang for our buck! And we all know how important that is with kids!

You can purchase the Playskool Explore 'N Grow Musical Gear Center from many popular retailers such as Target and Toys R Us for around $24.99.

Playskool was generous enough to let me review the Playskool Musical Gear Center with Amelia, and they have told me they want to give another of these great toys away to one very lucky Marine Parents reader!! This would be perfect to give to your little guy or gal for the holidays!
