Blog Blast - Extreme Toy Shopping!

Did your parents ever line up outside the toy store, waiting for it to open so that they could snag that sought-after toy you just had to have? How about you - did you ever camp out just to get your mitts on the toy that your kid (and every other kid out there) couldn’t live without?

Toy shopping doesn’t usually involve sleeping on sidewalks, but when it comes to making their kids happy, parents can go a little crazy. What lengths would you go to in pursuit of the elusive “It” toy for your own child?

Maybe toy shopping isn’t the first thing on your mind right now, but with our partner Hasbro, now is a great time to jump on it! You know Hasbro - they’re the ones who make LITTLEST PET SHOP, TRANSFORMERS, and MONOPOLY, among many others! And you can snag some of your favorite toys right now with a fantastic free shipping offer - the Hot Summer Toy Event.

As if this promotion wasn’t cool enough already, Hasbro will donate one toy or game for each toy or game purchased during its Hot Summer Toy Event, providing up to $400,000 in toys and games for economically disadvantaged children.

Plus, the best part is that you can trust Hasbro’s standards - NONE of their toys or games have been affected by the lead paint recalls.

Here’s how to participate:
Write a post about what you’d do (or what your parents did for you) to get that perfect toy into your child’s hands. Post anytime this weekend - today, July 25 through Sunday, July 27.Make sure to link http://www.hasbrotoyevent.com and http://blog.parentbloggers.com somewhere in your post.

Then email us the link to your post at parentbloggers@gmail.com.

We’ll be linking them up right here all weekend long, so be creative with your title!
