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!

Enter today’s other Home for the Holidays giveaways:
My 4 year old son loves to make ‘envelopes’ to give to people (mostly his grandparents). He traced his own hand and turned it into a turkey, and then made an envelope for one grandma…….Another project that he did completely on his own was to make an envelope with a bug (mosquito) drawn on it, that he could use to collect money that his preschool was collecting in order to be able to purchase mosquito nets for people in other countries to protect them from malaria.
My son loves to write in his nature journal and collect leaves and other things from the outdoors to put in it. I encourage any activities that don’t involve technology. (as I am on the computer. ha ha)
My daughter would make pictures and cards all day long if I let her, she is definitely a budding artist.
No one in my family likes to write.
My 3 year old loves to draw ships.
WOW, that is so cute! I have a budding artist in my 6 year old. He has decided he wants to be an artist/baseball player when he grows up. ;0) As soon as we start school each day, he asks, “can it be art time now?”
My daughter loves to draw people and I love to write lists! This caddy is beautiful!
My boy enjoy modeling more than anything else.
My girl loves to read. We have a budding writer on our hands!
My five year old currently loves to make cards for friends and family. Her almost 3 year old sister just likes to draw on anything!

My toddler is SUCH a budding artist! She’s very into cutting right now… Today’s project was cutting paper dolls, then gluing them into scenes and covering them with glitter glue, etc. All her idea! All such fun!
This caddy is beautiful! LOVE LOVE LOVE the contents!

My boy loves to sketch any trucks or construction machines that stop nearby, also we have a whole of fleet of drawings of shipwrecks from him.
My daughter is a budding artist. She loves to draw with her markers.
My 3 year old loves to draw and finger paint… I live in China and it is hard to find kid-friendly craft supplies so this would be a huge blessing for us!
My 4 yr old loves creating for everyone he knows. He still needs help with writing everyones names on the cards but he sure tries. The best part is the stick figures he draws of everyone.
My daughter loves to use finger paints to draw animals & flowers
This caddy is amazing. I would love to have it. My 6 year old keeps a daily journal of writing and drawing. And my three year old loves to draw and write her name. We spend at least an hour everyday at the table drawing and writing. Even my two year old twins join in most days.
Our 7 year old daughter is an artist and writer… LOVES drawing pictures for others with a whole story to go with the creation.
My niece Riley is a budding artist and would love this!
If there are two things my 9 year old Sam ( who happens to have Down Syndrome) loves, its creating any and everything and packing any and everything. What better combination than having a great place to “pack” some of his best creating tools!
My daughter loves creating illustrations in colored pencil.

My 7 year old daughter loves to make books. She staples, draws and writes many stories in the paper books she makes. She is totally in love with art – this would be perfect for her:)
My 3 year old loves to express himself with art. He’s really into drawing, painting, using modeling clay. Lately his favorite is getting “paint with water” his words for water colors.
Wow – what a gorgeous gift! My 4yo is really into writing at the moment, she loves to make cards for her friends. My 18mo loves to “write” too, in very careful little scribbles. 🙂
