We don’t do a lot of toy-buying in our house. I won’t bore you with the reasons why, but suffice it to say that new toys are big-deal, must-be-a-birthday-or-Christmas special events. We don’t get new toys because it’s Tuesday and we happen to be at Target and LOOK! STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES!
So while I’m probably not a toy expert, I do put a lot of thought into which toys actually make it into our playroom. This little computer, for instance, is probably the best $20 I ever spent on a toy. EVER. And even better? Our boy learned a whole bunch from playing with that little VTech laptop. As a result, we’re VTech fans.
And that is why I’m tickled to be able to give away a pretty FAYNCEE (by my standards, at least) kids’ toy: VTech’s KidiArt Studio. KidiArt Studio hooks up to your computer (PC only) or your television, and your kids can create works of art that show up on the “big screen.” You can even save their masterpieces to your computer and email those sweet creations to grandparents. The KidiArt Studio comes complete with a little low-res digital camera and – here’s the great part for moms of little boys who might not love refining those small motor skills – a digital “pencil” that enables kids to write and draw all the live-long day.
One word to the wise: KidiArt Studio requires 8 (EIGHT!) AA batteries, and they’re not included. I think a power cord would be an excellent addition to this toy, but nobody asked me, so I’ll just smile and continue to be delighted that one of your cute kids is going to get a free toy, amen.
If you’d like to win VTech’s KidiArt Studio, just leave a comment and tell me so. Because of shipping costs (it’s a big toy in a big box), this giveaway is restricted to folks who have a mailing address in the continental United States.
I’m so sorry, Canada. Please know that I still love you deeply.
Comments will remain open until Wednesday, November 26th, at which point I’ll pick a winner with random.org.
Thanks for playing, everybody!
This giveaway is now closed.

Oh…me, me- pick me (please!)
Can I play with it too?? ;)
My daughter is into all things artsy, she would just think this was the coolest thing out there.
count me in!
what a neat give-away!
My nephew would think this is pretty cool.
wow! that’s SO cool! my son would love it! :o)
I teach 3rd grade and this would be an awesome addition to my classroom. My students love to draw, so I could hook this up to one of my computers for them to use during computer time!
Ohmygosh–I would love to win!
I know this is such a long shot, but my 4 year old daughter, Fiona, is a huge art fan. Since we don’t have extra wiggle room in our budget we usually don’t buy anything for the kids for Christmas. This would be a great surprise for our little girl.
This sounds absolutely fabulous!
Baby Silas may be a little young, but we know he’s smart. So send one our way!
Ooh, my kids would love this!
As an art and craft impaired person, who somehow has birthed two children who love arts and crafts, this is a dream come true.
Glitter makes me anxious. I’m just sayin’.

This would be great for Christmas. Our little gal loves to draw and the computer!
OK…it looks really cool. Please pick me.
I agree a power cord would be great. A battery free christmas would be great this year but if I won this, I won’t complain. I’ll just get in the car and drive to the Walmarts and get some batteries. I would do that for some art.
Ooooooo…..the masterpieces my kiddos could make for our gallery, AKA the refrigerator.
My boy would enjoy it, I’m sure!
Boy? Check. Two? Check. Want to send obnoxious preschool pics to grandparents? CHECK!
I don’t have kids, but I have a classroom! I’d love one!
Hey there, this would be a great gift for my five year old!! Hope I win!

Wowzers! Art and dexterity skills, just what is needed here. Along with four lovely children who would be occupied for quite some time.
Yeah, VTech! Yeah, Sophie!
Pick us! Pick us! :)
My daughter would love that! She’s a self proclaimed artist!
ONG, my Sweet Boy needs this so bad!!! He’s finally figured out that he can BE an artist and he wants to try to paint on the computer!!! This sounds like just the ticket!
This would be a great surprise to give my niece! Thanks!
Pick me! Pick me!
I like your toy policy. My oldest son saved most of his toys and now my youngest (10 years between them with no one in between) has all his older brother’s toys PLUS his toys. I have a toy store over here but we’re in the process of cleaning it all out. Starting new with something like this would be great.
My little gril – the would be artist in the family – would love this – if I win I’ll have it shipped to my mother’s house!
I keep pausing and looking at this toy every time that I open a toy magazine. Looks like a really cool Christmas item…count me in. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Xandra
Oh, I have TWO little boys who would love to get their hands on this! What a great giveaway!
Thanks! :)
I have three little boys and a CLEAN creating area would be great!
My girls would love this. We are on a strict budget for Christmas this year, so this would blow them away :) Hope we win.
This would be great for my granddaughter! Thanks for the giveaway.
Yay! Count me in! =)
My son would really like that.
I’m looking for any toy that would keep my 3 year old girl entertained!! And I love that V-tech computer too. :)
My daughter would love this…and Daddy and I would enjoy a freebie from Santa.
Jessica is one six year old that has precious few toys since she was adopted just one year ago – now Dad has been laid off. This toy would brighten our entire Christmas.
Great giveaway! Pick me! Pick me!
I’d love to win this for a very special little girl in my life. Thanks for the chance, even though my “luck” hasn’t
been very good with our friend “random!”
I’d say they should take that power cord idea to heart :) We are huge VTech fans, too!
I would love to win this!
I would love to win this! Thank you.
Pick me!
this would be great for our kiddos! :)
Um, yes please!
that sounds like a really cool toy. I try not buy a whole lot of toys either. they end up not playing with all of them and get spoiled to going to the store to get them
Thanks for the chance to enter. We could use all the help we can get this Christmas!! My kidlet would love it! :>)
Definitely sounds like a great toy…i love vtech stuff…anything that can tie in fun and education is awesome.
