Looking for beautiful unique toys and activities to help build your child's imagination? Sarah, of Imagine Childhood can help us out!

A year ago, my family and I started talking about how hard it was to find good quality gifts for kids, which quickly turned into a conversation about each of our favorite toys and memories from childhood. After a while we realized that our fondest memories, whether from growing up in the 60s or twenty years later in the 80s, were of time spent exploring and imagining. That's why we started imaginechildhood.com, a website that offers high quality durable toys, tools, and activities that encourage outdoor exploration, creativity, and imagination.
Today we are giving away a $35 gift certificate to our store! All you have to do to enter is take a trip over to the shop and tell us what your favorite item is in the comments for this post.
We would also like to offer a 15% discount for all Skip to my Lou readers for the duration of the Giveaway. You have until this coming Sunday night at midnight to leave a comment. The winner will be chosen by random number and will be announced a couple of days later!
To redeem your discount Just enter the code SKIP at the time of checkout. Discount expires 03/23/09.
Good Luck!

What a wonderful website. I would LOVE to use the organic gardening kits with my son this spring!
Organic Garden Kits looks like something my little one would love!
The crayon rocks are beautiful!!! I would have loved these as a child. Thanks!
What a fun site!!! I have a three year old who would love the Fairies of the Month. Okay, okay, I have to be honest. I would love the Fairies of the Month. I might even intercept the packages and never show them to her. Oh no, BAD MOMMY. I have to share, I have to share, I have to share. Hmmmmmm, TWO FAIRIES OF THE MONTH, that’ll work
Thanks for introducing me to this company – great products. Please pass on my appreciation for a generous giveaway.
i absolutely love the hansa stuffed toys, what a great giveaway
How cool is the perfume science kit?! Can I get that just for myself? Who cares about the kids!
oh, I totally love those little ducks..I’d probably sleep with one!
Hands down, my favorite is the Fairy Garden. I love gardening, and miniatures . . . and that’s such an incredible, adorable, fascinating idea! Love it.
A close second is the deluxe wood tree house, followed closely by the dollhouse furniture out of branches and twigs. Such fun!
I loved the silks, I think the kids at my Montessori based home daycare would absolutely love them. But the wooden Math Kit is absolutely wonderful and would make the most beautiful Montessori work I have ever seen. You have a wonderful shop and I will definately be there to shop. Thank you for offering us an alternative to all those plastic toys!!!
I just had the most delightful time visiting your website! The Fairy Garden captured my heart. I can only imagine the magical moments my two little girls and I would share setting it up together and watching it grow. Your site has been saved as one of my favorites. So glad to discover you!
WOW! I’m so impressed! I think my boys would love that tree house or the blocks or the log cabin! It would go perfectly with their wooden barn!!!
As a preschool teacher I am always looking for educational, open-ended materials and toys for the children. I LOVE the natural wood tree house. What a wonderful way to bring the outdoors into the classroom!
I love everything in the store! I really like the printmaking kit and the paper making kit. And the baby ducks are so cute!
I love the building blocks, tree blocks! I’ve never seen anything like those, and I know my kids would love them. Thank you!
I like the child’s medicinal herb garden kit what a unique and educational give that would make. Thank you for the giveaway.

I’ve been looking at your store for a while now…. so many beautiful and fun things! I think the fairies and their homes are just amazing. The wooden blocks and the natural wooden houses, the books… so many great things.
I love the Crayon Rocks!
I don’t know what I like better, the Artemis Plant Dyed Color Pencils or the Crayon Rocks. There are just so many wonderful things.
Thank you.
I love the Fairy Garden Kit.
I love it all.. the silkscapes, the skytails, the puppets.. I could go on and on.. Thanks for discovering this site!
What an amazing store! I love everything. These are the kinds of things my nieces love. I think my favorite is the trebuchet. We’ve played with a larger one and she loved it. I think she’d love to have one of her own. I also think the fairy garden kit is adorable and did you see those lifelike stuffed animals!
The Fairy Garden Kit is so magical!! Loooove it!
Flights of Fancy About Trees Nature Kit is my favorite. I’m a 32 year old, and last fall, I was walking on trails collecting leaves with the 4-year-olds!
