Fisher Price TRIO Giveaway!

Look what arrived yesterday.... a Fisher Price TRIO Building Set!

We've anticipated the arrival for several days. This is my first product review and giveaway.

Look at the excited little ones. Ready to play!

Madeline (2) also enjoyed playing. The pieces were just the right size for her little hands. They snap together with ease. It didn't take long for Will (5) to find the directions and start building. The directions were very easy for him to follow.
At the end of the play session this is what I found...
My favorite part (as a mom) is the plastic storage container. Nice and neat organized storage.

Kid bonus, the lid is a building surface to display their creations.

Look what I found at 7am this morning. Will was ready for some playtime before school.

I visited the Fisher Price site. I think the TRIO Cargo Loader might be a birthday purchase.

One lucky commenter will receive their very own Fisher Price TRIO Building Set a $20 value!
