Nova Natural {summer giveaway}

This weekend’s giveaway is from Nova Natural, my family’s longtime favorite toy shop!

Nova Natural is a small, family-run business based in the beautiful state of Vermont. Our goal is to be your trusted source for children’s toys and crafts that allow imaginations to run wild, engage curious minds, and foster appreciation for nature. We carefully handpick every item that goes into our catalog, and it’s important to us that we try our very best to offer you fair trade products made with renewable resources. We hope you find beauty and wonder in our toys!

While we bask in the bounty of summer, it’s important to remember just how fleeting it is. That’s why it’s so necessary to absorb every ounce of summer fun we can before the seasons change again. Our summer collection is focused on getting kids outdoors and appreciating the natural beauty around us. Let your little ones zoom around the driveway on a new Bamboo Run Bike, complete with a sweet little Bike Basket for a doll companion or bundle of flowers. Get back to the basics with a classic set of Sturdy Stilts. The challenge of balancing atop the pegs will keep children’s attention for hours as they play the day away in the backyard. Bring a bit of magic to outdoor play with a Fairy House Kit. This little wooden box contains all the inspiration a child need to create a wondrous realm for woodland fairies.

Summer just isn’t the same without time spent by the water. Take the Schooner with you on your next trip to the beach or river and children can imagine sailing off to discover new lands with their little wooden sailboat. If you’re looking to add some educational activities to summer play, try out the Weathervane Kit! Once the Weathervane is built, children can monitor the speed and direction of the summer breeze.

As summer vacation winds down and you prepare your little ones to get back in the swing of learning, sit down with this classic set of early readers. These books are written specifically for those just starting their reading journeys. By the time school rolls around they’ll be eager to learn, especially if they have a set of our Lyra Colored Pencils in an adorable Kitty Cat Pencil Case.

Our First Draft Drafting Set is a fabulous homeschooling activity that allows children to experiment with planning and design. Before you know it, they’ll be drafting up plans for a new treehouse! What school day is complete without a nutritious snack? Pack a little lunch in one of our new Tiffin Metal Lunchboxes and your students will be perfectly prepared for a day of learning.
