My daughter would love this one! We recently moved cross-country, only to find that the job I had lined up fell through, leaching us in a very bad spot, and Christmas presents ar completely out of the question at this point :(

This would really make the holidays a lot brighter, since we desperately want to have something nice for her, but cannot as of now…

Thanks so much for the chance!

My son is 14 months old and I’ve been pointing at elephants in books and he has a framed elephant on his wall. He’s finally put it all together and when I say elephant, he points up to his wall in his room at the picture!!! I’m so proud of him and he grins ear to ear when I’m happy. It’s just the coolest thing ever.

I found your site while looking for unique, visually stunning children’s toys to use in our new photography studio, not only as props for kids photos but for my 2 granddaughters, ages 3 and 10 months. The fact that my daughter (their mom) has been crazy about elephants just about from birth only makes it more certain that this bOble will make a lot of kids happy.

This would be perfect for my little guy because he’s just started to crawl and elephants are the theme of his room, he has an elephant lovie, and he loves to make the elephant noise by keeping his lips together and blowing out them as hard as he can-kind of like a rasberry but when he does it, it sounds like an elephant!

I’ve wanted one of these for months (since I first saw it). Our daughter, Ella, just turned 9 months. She started crawling a few weeks ago, which immediately led to her climbing everywhere! She’s a little climber… just like I was! Ella would be able to use it for years because it is so versatile! For now, she could sit on it, pull up on it and climb on it. Later in her life, she’d be able use it as a rocker, like it the picture! I know our little dare devil would love it!

I would love to have this to put under the tree for my daughter this Christmas. She is starting her crawling phase and likes to perch on things. This looks low to the ground and perfect. Unfortunately there is no way that I can purchase this for her since mommy lost her job, I can only find part time work, and we forced to move in with my parents. She will get gifts from all her Uncle’s and Aunt’s, and of course her Grandparents. I just wish she could get something from Mommy and Daddy for her first Christmas.

My little guy would love this. He is always trying to climb and balance on things, this would make it a little safer then the makeshift things he finds to try and balance on. Add in the elephant motif- Elephant is his favorite animal and the bright colors and it’s just perfect. Inspires creativity and balance, amazing. I would love to have this for my little guy, it would truly make our day.

In Australia at this time of year we are all outside soaking up the sun and enjoying the great outdoors. Living here in America this time of year we’re planning thanksgiving dinner and Christmas inside by the fire.

This year I have a curious, happy little girl who loves to climb – the bOble Tumbling Elephant would be a great way to keep her active an happy over the long cold winter.

With my impending birth of my second child, due at anytime, this would be perfect to help entertain my almost three year old, who stays home with me. It would be the most entertaining new toy with endless ways to play while I am recovering/resting from birth and as I nurse the new baby constantly. I do not have ‘plastic’ ride toys or anything of that nature at our house, so this would be a real treat and a change from all of her blocks.

Kathleen W. Says:

This would be such a help in our house. My toddler is all over the place (and often literally hanging on me) so it would be nice for him to get a little break with this. Now that winter is coming, we’re stuck inside our house more, and our living room gets boring for him. I love that this is eco-friendly, as I try to bring high-quality, earth-friendly items into our home.

This year I finally refused any gifts as I told people that my year and a half son doesn’t need another ‘plastic’ toy that he will toss after a month or two. As a stay-at-home mom I buy only eco-friendly object-toys that he and the other kids to come will play for a very long time.. Since we needed to readjust our budget for me to stay at home the bOble elephant has been on my wish list for a while and this wonderful objet would simply make the eco-perfect gift for him at X-Mas!

what a great idea! i’m always looking for mulit-functional toys for my son & this is perfect. since we are about to move into an airstream to live in full-time while we travel, space is an issue so all of our things have to have more than one purpose…so this would be great for our son since it grows with the child. we’re also trying to make our trailer a green living environment & the boble tumbling elephant would be a great addition!

My 13 month old niece Emma lives with us and our newest addition 2 month old Rollins. Emma is an active little Pixie! This looks like a toy that can be passed down through the children and can take a thumping or two. We are an eco – aware family and love toys that let a child use their imagination and coordination. Too many toys today do all the work and take the fun out of play. Even if we don’t win, we would still love to own the bOble Tumbling Elephant.

What a fabulous giveaway that’s easy on the earth, (very) easy on the eyes and easy to have a lot of fun with. We’re committed to using organic and non toxic gear in our home and to choosing quality over quantity when it comes to bringing new toys into our family. This sweet elephant would help our 2 1/2 year old burn some energy this winter, and it’s sweet shape and face would be comforting and stimulating. We were reading a book about animals before, and talking about how caring and familial these pachiderms are. We read that if a young calf in its first year strays over 20 yards away from its mother, it is retrieved as they are in almost constant touch. And that Closely related females cross suckle each other’s calves! Now that’s extended family support for breastfeeding!

Thanks for entering us in this draw. We’re crossing our fingers on this one.
