Such a fun assortment of toys we have for you in our second Hasbro Giveaway. This is the perfect giveaway for a family with several children, that’s for sure.

Busy Ball Popper
First, we have a fun toy sure to bring smiles and squeals from your little one. Janice also tried out this toy with Olivia and they both LOVE it. Janice says that the Busy Ball Popper is one of her all time favorite toys!!!

The Playskool Busy Ball Popper is poppin’, droppin’, air-powered fun!

Simply drop the balls down the track and they pop back up again. The action is accompanied by silly sound effects and 8 fun songs. For Ages 9 Months and up, (My two-year-old loves it). Retail Value, $19.99.

TONKA Truck
Next up is a favorite of all little boys, a TONKA Dump Truck. This TONKA-tough dump truck delivers skill-building activities and loads of fun to boys of all ages!

Your little one will love its real dumping action and spend hours placing the three “boulders” into the truck bed, only to dump them out and start again.

The working steering wheel turns the front wheels, and as the rear wheels turn, the truck makes rumbling noises. Retail Value $19.99

Martian Matter Alien Maker
Finally for the older child we have one of Parents Magazine 2008 Best Toys of the Year, The Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship. Get ready for some creative fun that’s totally out of this world!

Jackson was our toy tester for Martian Matter this summer, and he loved it. If you are considering this creative toy for one of your kids, be sure to read Janice and Jackson’s reviewfrom August.

Using the LUNAR LAVA and METEOR MOLD compound, your child can create more than 90 different wacky alien combinations.

With the included tools your child can then dissect their creations or choose to fly them around in the spaceship.

Spaceship playset comes with 14 alien half-molds, plastic knife, roller, tweezers, cutter, 3 two-ounce bottles of LUNAR LAVA gel and 3 two-ounce cans of METEOR MUD compound. Retail Value $17.99.
