My little boy LOVES anything with wheels and those little wooden cars are awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!
My 3 year old daughter would flip for the mermaid costume! Adorable!
When I went to visit Bella Luna’s site my little guy couldn’t decide…but he kept going back to the knight dress-up set. All boy!
My girls would love the Waldorf dolls. At 8 and almost 4 dolls are a huge part of their everyday!
I’m not sure about the older boys(though one of the tree houses might be good for dinosaurs to play in), but the new baby would definitely like a teething ring!
Our son is beginning to understand more about my sewing, and ‘fixing’ all my running shoes by lacing them in very creative ways, so I think he’d love the lacing cheese shown here: http://www.bellalunatoys.com/woodentoys/items/more/lacingcheese.htm
Any type of inventing toy, where you can but things together and build them in different ways or a tree house. They love to set up clubs and forts!
my little girls would love a whole bunch of the wooden Haba fruit. It’s so much fun!
My son would love any of the wooden vehicles!!
I would love the Wooden Choo-Choo Train for my son. The poor boy has inherited so many hand-me-down toys from his sister and deserves something new that’s just his.
wow, what beautiful toys. i know that my kids would pretty much love EVERYTHING. from the wooden trucks (like the logging truck) to dress-up knight costumes, swords, and everything in between.
I love the Rainbow Tunnel stacker! One of my sons love anything with wheels and would love driving wooden cars through the tunnels. My other son loves puzzles and stacking and would love just stacking the tunnels different ways.
I’d love to buy my daughter a new waldorf doll. She has a star baby for now but I would love to get her a bigger doll for later on.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

My daughter would love to have dress up clothes! I’m sure she would go for the unicorn or mermaid costumes!!!
My daughter would LOVE the rainbow blocks! Ok, that’s just me – she would probably prefer the dollhouse stuff. Honestly, I don’t know what we would love most!!
The make-your-own-papyrus kit seems right up our alley, I wouldn’t mind winning one! Neither would my daughter!
The marble kit or the silk swords or sandbox would be hit around our house.
The Treehouse Family is adorable! I’d love to add it to the toybox!
My girls love to dress-up- so any of those items would make our fave list.

I’m a facebook fan!
I “liked” Bella Luna toys on Facebook.
My kiddo would love the wooden play food toys, especially the cupcakes!!

The dress up clothing is beautiful. My little princess would look divine in them. I also love the Wooden Building Blocks. What fun!!
The build a treehouse would be so fun!
What wouldn’t my kids love! So many great things to choose from. The new baby would certainly need a teether, the older kids would love the maple tone mallet or even the chalk for their chalkboard.
I’ve had my eyes on a waldorf doll for my daughter for her birthday and the “poseable baby doll” would be perfect!

My little girl would love the tree blocks and the rainbow arch.
My son would love the wooden bi-plane–so cool!

My little girl would LOVE to dress up in a blue princess dress – “because it looks like heaven!”
The fairy dolls or dress up clothes for my little girl and any of the vehicles for my son.
Oh, my little Cinderella would love her own broom! I also know we’d put the art supplies to VERY good use:) Thanks!

my kids love anything trains, but i know my daughter would especially love a Waldorf doll.
Any of the wooden food!
I am surprisng myself with this answer, but my favorite toy is the Child’s Straw Broom. Whenever I sweep or mop, my 3 year old son always wants to help. I let him, but it’s not always safe, or feasible, because the broom is too big. Having a broom, his size, would be perfect. We can sweep together.
I would love the music and books!
My girls would love anything from the arts and crafts section-especially those colored pencils. I love the wooden plate set-lovely!
My little guy would love the dress-ups – what great costumes! My older girls would love anything from the arts and crafts section.
It’s so hard to choose but I love the little wooden cash register.
How do you pick just one something? I’d start with some chalk and crayon rocks, and then definitely get some train something or other.
I don’t even know where to start, but a few things we’d love: block Stockmar crayons, wooden vehicles, castle dress ups. I love this shop so much, they are wonderful!
I just became a fan on FB!

Count us in! My son would LOVE to get his hands on a lovely waldorf doll (my husband still struggles with this one but is starting to weaken). ; )
Oh my, there are so many things at Bella Luna that my daughter would love! I think I would have to get her a rainbow tunnel and some play silks! Thanks so much for the opportunity! I REALLY hope I win this time!
My daughters love their play kitchen — and would love to have more wooden food and dishes! Oh, how many hours of restaurant we do play!
How to choose?! We have a lovely little dollhouse but no furniture! So, my girls would probably love some branch furniture and family to live there… or bubble wands, or a princess dress. Hmmm, so fun to dream!
My girls would absolutely love a silk canopy. We have a makeshift one out of an old hula hoop and some scarves and and yards of fabric ….but ohhhhh the soft sheen would be devine :)

She would love to get her little hands on everything….If I had to chose, I would say the silky dress up or the arts and crafts(water paints etc…)
My 3 year old daughter would love the gardening tools – especially the rake!
I think my boys would have a blast with the knitted finger puppets. Thank you!
I like Bella Luna on FB.
We ordered a Waldorf doll from BLT a few months ago for our daughter, and our son has been jealous ever since. We’d definitely get one for him so the two could play together!
Cooperative Games! I think the Adventures of Harley would be #1 on my list.
I liked Bella Luna on Facebook.
what WOULDN’T my kids want to get their hands on from this shop? they love reading the excellent collection of elsa books, pushing little cars around, rubbing beeswax into wooden toys, nursing little babes or tucking babies away in the cradle, smooshing playdough, what is not to love? it just conveys clearly how childhood should be experienced. thank you, sarah!
My kiddos would love the silk crowns or the jewel toned playsilks!!

My son would love the Knight Costume by Sarah’s Silks or any of the wooden vehicles…I love this company! Thanks for hosting the contest!
My oldest would love the princess dress or the mermaid costume. She wanted to be a mermaid for halloween last year but I couldn’t figure out how to make a costume that she could still walk around in.
Great selection! My son would love some of the Child’s gardening tools – like the rake and shovel. He also like shoveling snow in the winter. Thanks!
Seriously, you want us to choose! IF I had to choose, I would say my 3 1/2 year daughter would like all of the fairy related things-fairy dolls, treehouse cottages, dress up, all of it!
Dress up is big right now so the Knight or Mermaid costumes would be wonderful! Beautiful things.
My 3 boys (and one on the way) would absolutely go nuts over the German Sword and Shield set. We would have knights fighting dragons all over the house!
I’d love to get the tree house for my nieces.
My big boy would love a wizard hat or a felt crown. For my baby girl, I think she’d like a rainbow tunnel stacker. Me, I like the toast puzzle!
My sons will love any of the wooden vehicles and the pushing car by Haba. =>
My sons will love any of the wooden vehicles and the pushing car by Haba.
I love the wooden “pushing car.” I’ve been looking for a walker toy for my almost-walking 9-month-old. =)
Believe it or not but my little boy would be crazy about the child’s straw broom. He thinks cleaning is the best thing since sliced bread.
My little girl would love to have a doll cradle or pram. So cute!
My daughter would LOVE a Waldorf Cuddle Doll – always wanted to try to make one but know I won’t get around to it anytime soon with a new baby in the house!
What a fun shopping spree this would be! The very first thing I would buy would be a set of jacks, and may more sets for all of my friends who remember how much fun we had with them!
Hugs,
Kerry

This shop is amazing!
I am a fan on facebook!
So many wonderful things, but the art supplies would rule the day over here.
My eleven month old loves to push around anything with wheels. I’m sure she’d love any of the vehicles. :) And my two older children go through art supplies so quickly! Any of those would be loved!
My girls love dress up so that where it would be spent although the crayon rocks look like fun too.
I have a little one who chews on everything, so I would so much rather see her playing with wood toys than plastic ones; and I know she would love the Rainbow Tunnel.
My Son, who is one, would love the feel of the wooden toys. He is very into textures. My daughter who will be four in August would love the dress-ups. This is such a lovely contest. Thank you!
I like Bella Luna toys on Facebook!

Cars, dress up clothes, art supplies…what wouldn’t my boys love to get their hands on! Love Bella Luna toys!
