Win an Electric Toy Guitar for Your Little One

This contest is no longer accepting new entries!

Finally I am revving up for my first giveaway! Woohoo, yay!


First, I want to extend a thanks to Jessica at JessicaKnows for her 15 Days of Marketing series that has gotten me this far. Next, I want to extend a thank you to Heather of Freebies 4 Mom for her posting about blog layout tips and tutorials. Those made it possible for me to make the 3 column template you are looking at, and add most of the features in the sidebars.

Now, on to the good part. I am giving away one of Target's "My Rocking Guitar" for FREE this week. Yes, I said for free! My son absolutely loves this guitar and I wanted to pass one on to one other lucky child for this holiday season.


Since learning how to walk, all my son wants to do when we shop is walk behind the cart and push it. So, my husband decided one day to set the Little Tikes Tap-A-Tune xylophone in front of him and let him bang away. Yesterday, we were walking through Target, and we were looking for some kind of push toy or noisy bang toy that would keep him occupied while we shopped. I had seen someone grab this guitar off the shelf, and it looked odd because it had a red light and not many buttons. When we looked closer to where the "Try Me" button was, we noticed that to 'strum' the guitar all you have to do is wave or wiggle your fingers in front of the lights.

This seemed perfect, because my son has known how to hold and play a guitar for months from watching my hubby play Guitar Hero on the PS3. So, we place the guitar in his little hands, and he immediately holds it the right way and begins strumming away. He was very shocked when sound began resonating as he played it. He was so used to playing with the fake noiseless remote guitar for Guitar Hero.


Check out this video of him strumming away while we walked through Target doing the rest of our shopping.

Now, I also decided to buy an extra one to give away to one lucky winner here on this blog. The one I am giving away is pictured exactly as is below.


This giveaway will run from today, December 3rd until Wednesday, December 10th at 11:59 pm EST.

The winner will be determined using Random.org, and I will announce the winner by 8:30 AM EST on Thursday, December 11th.

  1. My son's funniest musical moment was at my brother's wedding reception. He was quite taken by the band & went off to find a coffee can & a spoon & he drummed along with the drummer. I'd have to get the video from my brother. It's truly hysterical! He was just under 3 years old at the time. A peach of an age! I will see if I can get the video..until then, I'll tweet this!

  8. My sons best musical moment was my husband trying to teach him how to do the worm. I think my husband threw his back out and my son looked like he was being electricuted.

  23. My niece loves anything she can drum. She dances along with music and loves drumming her own beat (even though she's only 18 months!) Her parents would love to have a guitar since the whole family loves music and she could learn how to play!
