Magnetic Appeal

mudpuppy.jpgFor compact travel toys, I love the concept of magnetic or reusable sticker books, but we’ve repeatedly been disappointed by the mediocre magnetism or stick of several brands. That is, until we tried Mudpuppy’s vinyl sticker play scenes and magnetic figures. Offering beautifully illustrated themes for boys and girls, the generously appointed garden fairies play scene (which includes 6 fairies + costumes, critters, and tea party fare) and princess dress up doll tin have provided countless hours of entertainment. The princess tin, which now goes everywhere with us, offers a brilliant solution to weak cardboard-based magnet books. The hinged tin case serves as the stage (and convenient storage!) for two double sided scene cards, allowing the princess and her many outfits and accessories stable styling grounds.

Want to win a Mudpuppy sticker play scene + magnet set*? Here’s how:

    I love these things, so creative !!

    Monsters Magnetic Figures ;-) Thanks.

    WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

    Oh I used to love the dolls, remember?
    I think my little boy would like the Map of The World though.
    This is something that I will love to do with him!!!!

    I just bought a magnetic fairy board, but it's not nearly as nice as these. If I were to win, I would want garden fairy play scene. My daughter just can't get enough little fairies.

    I LOVE The Map of the World for him ( the stickers). I used to LOVE the doll dress-up vinyls!!
    The magnets are very cool for the car travel but we both would love the vinyl stickers.
    Please throw my name in!

    I love the US map (it's even better than most USA puzzles I've seen) and my kids would get a kick out of seeing where the relatives live... but the Room to Play sticker set would get even more play time here, I think. :-)

    love all the magnetic books - what a great idea for taking to church and resturants

    these are really cute,,!
    i would love to have the fun and dance sticker set play scene and the vintage fashion dress up doll!

    My grandson would love the On the Farm Mini Play Scene Sticker Set.

    very cute!Please enter me!

    My daughter is so into gnomes and elves and fairies and would love the Garden Fairies Sticker Set Play Scene.
    Great idea!

    I won from this sweepstakes. The funny faces sticker set is just adorable! My niece is going to have a blast with it, I'm sending it down to her for her birthday next month. The sponsor kindly offer to send along the magnetic monster set next month, when it is back in stock--dd has her heart set on it. Great customer service and a great product!

    I won this a bit ago. I must say that their customer service is fantastic! My daughter really, really wanted this Monsters set that was out of stock. They sent me the Funny Faces sticker set I wanted for my niece, and then sent on the Monsters magnet set when they got it. That was a lot of extra work/remembering for them, so I really appreciated it.

    We haven't opened the sticker set--it's a gift. But the magnet set is just fantastic. The art is really cool--high quality and interesting for adults as well as kids. Tons of different pieces, and the backgrounds fit neatly into one side of the tin while the extra pieces stick to the other. Very convenient, and very fun. DH and I find ourselves playing with it after she goes to bed!

    The art on all their stuff is so impressive, compared to the usual licensed or simplistic kids stuff.

    Thanks!
