The Homeschooling Blog Announces a BrainCandy Giveaway!


GIVEAWAY OVER!!
WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
This giveaway is open to nonhomeschoolers and nonbloggers! Don't leave without entering!
The Homeschooling Blog was recently selected by the wonderful people at Braincandy to review their newly- launched... and might I add brilliant products... in exchange for a product giveaway! Can you feel the excitement?

What is Braincandy? Aside from a really catchy name, Braincandy is original and engaging, offering your youngest children (6 months through preschool) a completely commercial-free, learning experience rich in motion and music... and not restricted to classical as you've found in other products. Not that classical is bad... it's wonderful! The creators of Braincandy realize that there are many genres of music that are equally beneficial in getting those brain juices flowing in young children. They've incorporated everything from classical to blues and jazz. Such a nice arrangement of music! You're kids will absolutely love learning about their 5 senses and the world around them through these entertaining DVD's!

Give your kids a new and natural approach to learning about themselves, through what Braincandy calls "Certified Organic Entertainment"! Braincandy is the winner of 25 awards including the 2006 Telly Award and Dr. Toy's 10 Best Audio/Video products of the year. These videos are incredibly cute! I especially love the fact that Braincandy has incorporated a bit of humor into the videos. Not stale or painful to have playing in your living room... like so many of the learning videos you likely have in your current DVD library. You'll actually enjoy sharing this package with your kids... again and again! They're that much fun!

Soooo, what's included in the prize package?

This giveaway includes 5 DVD's with a list price of $74.99 (available from the Braincandy site for $59.99). Here's what's up for grabs:

Hear My World
Taste My World
See My World
Smell My World
Touch My World

How do you enter to win?

Visit Braincandy, then come back to this post and share which product or products you'd most like to own and why. It's that easy! If you're a blogger and would like to share this giveaway with your readers, that would be wonderful too. It doesn't increase your odds of winning, but your readers will appreciate the FYI. Contest ends on Wednesday, June 25th at 11:59 PM (CDT).
Just a few rules for the Braincandy giveaway:
  • Only one entry per individual
  • Both homeschoolers and nonhomeschoolers are eligible to enter
  • You don't have to be a blogger to enter... just be sure to leave us a way to contact you. The safest method of sharing your email, is to copy this format: youremailname(at)hotmail(dot)com. This prevents the Internet's many spambots from recognizing your email addy. ;)

I recommend checking back here on June 26th, just on the off chance the winning announcement's email ends up in your bulk folder.

We would love to have the World of Braincandy, Music & Sound Exploration CD (in addition to all the senses videos!).

I come from a long line of musicians - my mom, my grandmother, her mother, my uncles and grandpa....

We're a musical family. And we have a 4yo DD who just adores anything music - singing, dancing, instruments - she knows every instrument and can tell you which is playing just by the sound.

Our twin baby boy and baby girl are just as enthusiastic about music as she is. I couldn't be happier, since music is a big part of my life, and I think a crucial part of a child's developing brain.

Thanks for the opportunity for a giveaway like this!

What a cool and beautiful product. I really like the graphics. I think my faves are taste my world and see my world. The taste my world made me hungry for strawberries. =) My 5 and 4yr old watched the clips and really liked them.
I am not a blogger on here. What a cool website (someone had a link to this).
That probably eliminates me from any contest, but, it was such a neat product that I had to leave a comment. =)

I think my little ones would most enjoy Hear My World and Taste My World- though I can see one of them using "tasting their world" as an excuse to dine on petrified Froot Loops. :/

Very cool giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity. :)

i would really love to have the "bundle of joy" dvd set for my little cupcake. i just know that she -- like i -- would never be able to decide which is her favorite!

The little Bruce brain hand puppet is too adorable! I think we would most love to have these videos though, because I watched the previews and they look super cute!

We would love to have the "taste my world" video! I have a one year old and a three year old... and everything gets drooled on in my house. I think they would be so excited! This is my first time on this blog and I'm so excited to look around. I've started the pre-K "Hooked on Phonics" with my daughter and she is already reading small words. I can't wait until she's old enough to start homeschooling!

I think any homeschooling family would enjoy all of your products.
My grandchildren are into "touchy
feely" and I think Touch My World
would be a great addition to their
resources.

What a great giveaway! I've seen these DVDs advertised and was always curious about them. After looking at the Braincandy website, I think they are my favorite product, but a runner up is the Music & Sound CD.
