This giveaway has now ended. Thanks for entering!
Today is the final day of our Home for the Holidays week! I hope you’ve enjoyed it and that you’ve gleaned a few gift ideas for the upcoming holiday season as well!
Since this is the third year in a row that I’ve highlighted the online store Imagine Childhood, I don’t have to tell you that I’m a fan.
I have reviewed, and purchased, items for birthdays and holidays there for a quite a while now, and have been incredibly pleased with the quality of the toys–as well as the heart behind them.
Sarah from Imagine Childhood has created the most beautiful virtual holiday catalog, showcasing many of the items in their shop–it’s an excellent way to get an overview of the toys and other creative goodness they offer to customers.
Last year I bought many of my kids’ stocking stuffers here–and I appreciated that they made it easy for me by putting the smaller sized gifts together for easy browsing.
Continue reading to find out more about the two toys being offered to a lucky winner today!
Fairy House Kit
My nine-year-old daughter is into all things dollhouse-related at the moment. Remember the wooden treehouse I reviewed two years ago? That toy has been played with hard, on an almost daily basis, and is still going strong.
Trishna has turned the entire floor of her bedroom into a “neighborhood,” confiscating many cardboard boxes as houses for her dolls. She will be thrilled to add this fairy house to the neighborhood–and to create it herself!
The kit has everything you need to make a multilevel fairy house like the one you see above–with tons of items to make furniture and decorate with afterwords: birch bark, moss, driftwood, wire, seashells, stones, pine cones, bark, feathers, twine, silk flowers, and small branch sections. AND–your own glue gun! (I’m thinking the glue gun may be Trishna’s favorite part.)
Imagine Childhood also keeps in stock a wide variety of sweet fairies you can purchase to keep that house full of magical residents once it’s been constructed.
European Solar Construction Set
Eight-year-old Jonathan has really gotten into building kits lately, so this solar construction kit will be under the tree for him this year.
An awesome introduction to solar power, the kit contains pieces to make an airplane or helicopter. It includes over 188 parts and instructions to create the models–my husband’s head swooned when he saw them, but I think Jonathan is up for it!
The company specifies this as a kit for ages eight and up, and looking at all the small parts, I would agree. Your older kids will love it!
Once the model is built, you place it under direct sunlight and watch it power up! (No, it doesn’t fly, but the rotors spin.) Plenty of environmentally friendly play–and no batteries required!
Special Offer: Use the code ‘simplehomeschool’ to receive 10% off at Imagine Childhood through December 5th!
One Simple Homeschool reader will win a fairy house kit and a solar construction kit from Imagine Childhood!

I have a little girl that loves all things fairies and two boys that love to build, so they would be a hit in our house! Thanks for the chance to win!
My girls would love the doll house kit! They play with their little polly pocket dolls almost daily!
My children LOVE to use their imaginations – especially outside. My girls, especially the middle one, loves fairies. She is convinced that they are real. My sons love to build – with anything from rocks to sticks to paper to paper clips. What a wonderful Christmas gift these would be!
Our youngest proudly tells everyone that she is a scientist – she would enjoy the solar kit. She and sister would both enjoy another imagination toy too.
My daughter loves all things little and a fairy house would so tickle her imagination. : )
My daughter would love the fairy house, as she’s just starting to branch out into more imaginative play. We’re still a few years away from using the solar kit, but we’d happily save it– my husband is a huge science geek and would love doing this kind of project with the kids!
I have three boys who love building things, so I know they would love that!
so cute, my littles would love these. 🙂
Our 4yo daughter is very much into all things fairy and loves natural materials and my 7yo son loves building machines….he’d love to give the solar plane a whirl. Thanks for the chance!
These kits are designed with my kids in mind. Both would love them.
My little guy lives building so these would be perfect for him!
Here’s hoping for a win, and I’ll have 2 very happy little girls!
My little girl asked for a solar building kit for Christmas and I think that wooden treehouse would be used by army men and dragons by my boys. What great toys! Thanks for the chance to win!
We have two little girls who love to play make-believe and build things…. training up future engineers!
My littlest guy loves to build, so he’d have a great time with the fairy house. My older son likes to build too and I’d give him the plane.
My daughters LOVE to create things. They turn just about anything into a “doll” and are currently drawing lots of fairies. They would love these kits especially since they get to use their imaginations and make it like THEY see it.
My son is still to small to play with these toys but my older nephew would love to thinker with the solar kit. He just has such an inquisitive mind.
Oh my! Perfect for my fairy loving little girl and my invention making little boy. I love how both of these kits involve the kids making their own design. My creative kids would love them!
My Lego-lovin’ 8yo boys would love putting together the airplane and watching it rev up in the sun. And my daughters play with their doll house daily and would enjoy the fairy house. I can see the four of them working together to construct the house – the younger girls directing and the older boys gluing!
My kids would love the fairy house and they also love anything construction, so they would find a way to play with both toys at the same time!
we would all love to build that fairy house
My kiddos would go wild for this! They love to build!
I’ve got a serious 7 year old builder (imagine LEGOs all over our house) and a young girl who’s one wish last year was to meet a real fairy, so I am SURE these would be a hit!!!
My daughter loves fairies and my son wants to learn how to build EVERYTHING! This is a wonderful giveaway!
My daughter loves to use her imagination.
