Kikkerland Windup Toy Giveaway

I Have a new crew of friends here, clinking, whirring, and flipping all over my dining room table. These amazing little windup critters from Kikkerland are not your average toys, no sir. These are fine specimens of educational play at its best. Imagine the inner workings of a windup clock, for example, marching across your kitchen floor. The clicks, the springs, sometimes sparks, always movement. The little fellows I speak of are Kikkerland windup toys filled with personality.

My husband and I spent a whole evening winding them all up and turning them loose. Each one is different, surprising its audience with a unique set of movements. Since they’re windup toys made mostly of their mechanical workings, we were able to get right in there and see what makes them tick. One feature that makes them so personable is the fact that you might get to tweak them every now and then for yourself. A little oil to the springs, a tightening, a little maintenance is always a good way to care for your critter. Can you imagine the lessons a child will learn by making an adjustment here and there, watching the results?

Most surprising to me is how endearing these little metal toys are. We’ve already got our favorites – one that makes us laugh a little harder than the others. These are toys to make you smile with a child’s joy – no matter your age.

The Pintacuda is cute and I think my boys would love it. They think the toy on Toy Story (with the weird spider legs and doll head) is so cool. The Pintacuda reminded me of that. (-:

A true friend is not a friend that you can see and know that they are there without a doubt. A true friend is a friend you truly have faith in without a doubt. True friendship is when you don’t see that friend but you know that they are there and you learn to trust and believe in them…that one day you will see them without a doubt! I wa t everyone to feel this way…I WILL make everyone feel this way. Runescape gave me that chance…to know what true friendship really is. Together, we flew in the sky , over the ocean , in a dream that lasted forever! With unbroken bonds of the new existence. I DECLARE THESE BONDS UNBROKEN. I will fly with them forever in a dream that turns to the new reality.I am a blinding light made new, emptied of all preexisting darkness, and I will guide those in the darkness.Believe me..when I say I will do something, I will most likely do it eventually. I live to be the very best, not fine, not decent, good, amazing or outstanding. I live to be the very best.I burned fires of infinitism down the longest path that existed for eternity shedding tears…with my friends in the most magical and legendary lake of all time.These friends are the light that shines in the distant…you are the one in the darkness…looking for that light! That light. Is the only thing there to trust, you leave it to chance. One day you find it but it disappears. You can only have faith. That the light is still there. I found that light and I constantly lose it but I learn to trust it even more. I WILL win THIS. I DECLARE IT!!!!!!!!!!! This is how bad I want to win!

Chico Bicalho has to be the cutest darned bug around! My 3 year old daughter isn’t sure or not if she likes bugs, so this would be a fund way to play with them! Somehow I think that my 15 year old son would get just as much of a charge out of it! Cool! I’m headed over to list your site on my blog!

January 26th, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Those are hilarious! I’m trying to decide what would be most enjoyed here – tough one! Right now I’m leaning towards Mxykikker, I think the kids would get a kick out of all the legs. (hehe, no pun intended! that just sort of came out that way!)
