from canada..i’m in
I’ve been looking everywhere for a Step 2 Canopy Wagon and finally decide to search and your page came up! Hope this enters me into the giveaway!!! I’d love it for my kids!!!
I wish I had known about your site months ago. My youngest is crazy for Legos and I’m trying to fing the Police Center which now is out of stock everywhere. I’ll keep checking though if something suitable for a child with Asperger’s shows up in your giveaways.
The Legos are about the only thing (besides video games) that keeps his attention and keeps him calm for a long time. Far better than medicine.
Best of luck and success.
this a nice site for contests for kids! thanks
