Those of you who are new here may not know about these wonderful CDs. My dad and his brother listened to the Little Orley radio programs when they were boys. They both have such found memories of these stories and were thrilled when my uncle came across some of them on CD. Our family got a hold of one and then purchased several from Red Hen Books & Toys. We LOVE them- even Jamey and I- which is saying a lot for a kid's CD (I know you know what I mean). They're great stories that combine humor, lessons, music and old-timey charm.
Well, I have two very fun things to share with you. First of all, thanks to Red Hen Books & Toys, I'm going to introduce you to some of the other fabulous things on their website over the next couple of months in the form of more giveaways (three, to be exact). Some of these items are perfect for keeping little hands busy during read alouds when school starts- more on that later.
How To Enter in Two Steps:
1) Check out the two CDs on Red Hen Books & Toys via the links above, scrolling down each page to read the titles of the songs to help you decide. You can also listen to some samples here. Let me know which one you'd like to win. One name will be drawn from each group (based on choice).
2) Take a little walk through the Red Hen Books & Toys website and let me know in your comment which other items there tickle your fancy. Think about what you're kids (or kids you know) would like.
Got that? Two parts this time. TWO parts. Two PARTS. Capiche?
One entry per household, please. If you have trouble commenting, send me an email (with both steps included) and I'll post it for you. Make sure to leave your initials if you comment anonymously. In the last giveaway some of you forgot this and I couldn't enter you:-(. I'll choose the two winners sometime on Friday!

(I was not given anything to conduct this review or host this giveaway. Red Hen Books & Toys offered to give away the CDs and I happily obliged since we love them so.)

How neat. I think my kids would like the Little Orley stories and the Dado block seem interesting.

Little Orley and the prized vegetable, because it has to do with food.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the farm construction set. Looks like a blast.
Will be pouring through the Red Hen a bit more. Thanks for sharing it. I think we may have to order the fraction blocks soon. Those would be helpful in our math unit this school year.
ReplyDeleteWe have never heard any of the Little Orley stories but would love to hear the little Orley radio shows CD. I am sure they are all great though.
Blessings!
I think we'd like the little Orley stories, even though we've never listened to any of them. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'd like to win the yarn balls or any of the simple block sets. Anything to keep the toddler occupied while we do school!
Thanks for another great giveaway!
This all looks fun. We would enjoy the Little Orley Stories, since I have to make a choice:) And the toys all look fun! I know the my boys would love the crazy forts building toy...among other things.

ReplyDeleteWe like the Little Orley stories.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the building block toys, but most especially the Prismatic.
Cool, the "Little Orley Radio shows looks fabulous. I'd also love to check out the nature observation dome with my 2 year old son who loves the outdoors. Thanks for doing this.

I have Little Orley stories, due to your reviews, and my son loves them. I would love to have another--Little Orley Radio Shows!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tangram (colored) with wood tray from the Red Hen Books & Toys website looks like so much fun.
All the best,

I would love to have the Little Orley Stories cd and the Dado cubes building set would be perfect for all the toddlers in the house right now:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

I think my daughter would love the little orley radio shows cd & the hexactly building system looks fun! karen p. acp328@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWe would love the the Little Orley Stories. We saw lots of neat things---fort building toy, all things Dado, yarn balls, fraction blocks.....
ReplyDeleteWe actually purchased Little Orley radio shows awhile back per your recommendation, the whole family loves it. So we would be thrilled to win Little Orley Stories!
ReplyDeleteMy boys are really into legos right now, so I think they would love the Brix construction kits or the Dado planks.
*Just as a side note, I follow Little Orley on Facebook and they posted this not too long ago. "Running low on this CD (out-of-print when the CDs are gone)." I believe this was for the radio shows. So they may soon be harder to find or at least much more expensive!
We would love Little Orley Radio Shows. We are ready for something new to listen to in our car too :) Thought the Inchimal Animals Math Set looked really interesting.

I've been following your blog for sometime now. I've been encouraged to see somebody else out there purposefully living with less in order to give. I am also Mennonite and stumbling across your blog the first time I was reading blogs makes it more special.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking we would like the Little Orley Stories, and my almost 1 year old would have fun/frustration:) playing with the Dado cube blocks.
