Giveaway: Writing Caddy from Playful Learning

//  by 

This giveaway has ended. Check back on Saturday, December 4 for the winner!

Welcome to Simple Living Media’s Home for the Holidays! We’ve got 25 giveaways across the entire network this week to give you plenty of chances to win a great gift, just in time for the holidays.

Today I’m giving away a Writing Caddy from Playful Learning.

This sweet caddy is practical–holding all your child’s art and writing supplies in one place. But it is also beautiful, inspiring your little one to sit down and create more often.

Valued at $128, this caddy is the perfect present for the budding author or artist in your life.

Learn more about this inspiring gift and how to win it.

When I first pulled the writing caddy out of its delivery box, I honestly let out a little squeal of delight. It is well-crafted and lovely, and my mind could already envision my six-year-old excitedly opening it on Christmas morning.

The caddy measures 10 inches square by 10 inches wide, and comes with several movable dividers that you can alter to fit your child’s writing needs. Organizational enthusiasts like myself will love that feature! I dislike toys and supplies that have multiple small parts, which often end up all over the table in a mess. But this writing station keeps everything together.

The sturdy handle makes it easy to carry upstairs and back down again without spilling–my son does much of his creating upstairs during rest time, so I know our caddy will be trekked up and down often.

Check out all the writing goodness that comes ready to stock your writing caddy (pictured above):

  • 20 Color Grip Markers
  • 12 Metallic Colored EcoPencils
  • 20 Junior Grip Triangular Colored Pencils
  • Grip Set (pencil, eraser and pencil sharpener)
  • 742 Alphabet Stickers
  • 16 Colored Crayon Rocks
  • 8 Blank Cards and Envelopes
  • Alphabet Stamps
  • Multi-Colored Ink Pad
  • Alphabet Chart by Handwriting Without Tears

These are high-quality supplies, not the cheap version that will break within a week of use.

The Playful Learning website was created by educator Mariah Bruehl, a mother of two young girls who wanted to translate her professional experience as a teacher to her time at home as a parent. Playful Learning owns a brick and mortar store in Sag Harbor, New York and also makes some of her favorite items available for online purchase.

Do your children love kits assembled in cute cases or bags? If so, they’ll adore the Playful Learning botanist’s kit, sewing kit, and tool kit. You can even purchase an empty caddy for your own projects or order a complete writing center for your home.

The writing caddy from Playful Learning is an heirloom piece–one you and your child will enjoy for years. Made from the highest quality materials, it would make a wonderful gift for the little writer in your life.

One Simple Homeschool reader will win your own Writing Caddy from Playful Learning!

    My 6 year old loves to create cards for family and friends. This caddy would be PERFECT for him since he always seems to leave a trail of supplies through the house!

  6. Penny

    My 6 year old daughter has given me so many of her drawings that I am not sure what to do. She completes about 4 a day and loves to illustrate stories (mostly about princesses!)

  7. Crystal

    My 3 year old loves to trace her hand and make different characters and tell stories for each character.

  9. Catherine

    All three of my boys are budding artists and writers, and their little sister is following their lead (although it is still a challenge to make sure she draws on paper, and not on the walls!). My boys love to create their own comic books and illustrated chapter books. During the summer, they drew illustrations of every single character in the Harry Potter novels and taped them on the walls and ceiling of their bedroom!

  11. Jen

    I have a couple of aspiring artists in my home! My almost 4 year loves drawing animals and my 19 month old just loves scribbling with as many colors as he can fit on a page.

  12. Amber

    #2 does nothing lately but draw draw draw. We’ve been thinking about getting him an art kit for Christmas- this is much better than anything we’ve looked at.

  13. Lynette

    My 4 1/2 year old had no interest in drawing or coloring or creating until this year. Now he loves it so much that we set up an art area in our family room. A day doesn’t go by without him coloring or drawing or creating some kind of art. Today, he wanted to make pop-up cards so we had to find instructions on the Internet. I love seeing his creativity bloom…and I love that his 2 year old sister is following in his foot steps.

  14. Gabrielle Eaton

    My 3yo makes wonderful “dry erase board” art…unfortunately, it isn’t permanent, so we sometimes try to take a photo before it gets wiped away.

  15. Jamie Fullman

    My 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son both love to create. My daughter does most of her creating in the evening, while my son creates during the day. This caddy would be a fabulous addition to gather our art supplies.

  16. melanie

    Yes, I sure do have budding artists in my family! Both of my daughters love to create, but it is my oldest who is almost always found with pencils and paper in hand, imagination in full gear. She enjoys drawing and adding color with colored pencils. She currently loves fashion illustration, making mock-up catalog or magazine pages and designing floor plans. She also loves drawing silly creatures with quirky features and writing brief summaries about their personalities. It is a true delight to see the outpouring of creativity from this child!

  18. Tracy

    My husband is a wonderful writer, so we’re hoping our kids follow in his footsteps! This caddy is beautiful and inspiring. 🙂

  21. Alison Cromie

    Our budding artist wont be born until February, but since both of his parents are artists, this would be a great thing for Mom and Dad to use on birth announcements and then hand down as he gets old enough to start doing his own artistic things.

  24. Mindy

    Do you have a budding artist or writer in your family? What does he or she enjoy creating most?

    I have a couple of each in my family! My son’s are all great artist, and my daughter’s love writing!

    My son loves to draw pictures of all kinds. Today he came home with three truck drawings. He really gets excited if he can use his glue stick!
