Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the makers of the stage version of the best selling story Guess How Much I Love You have sent me two copies of their DVD to giveaway.

I’m sure most of you will know this book as it’s sold over 20 million copies world wide, so here is the chance to see how it’s been adapted for the stage. We’ve also been sent a copy for B and L to keep and L is watching it as I type – and gives it a two thumbs up!

To enter the giveaway: ask your child what or who they love and leave a comment on this post telling me their answer. Be sure to leave an e-mail address when you add your name to the comment.

The giveaway is open until midnight (GMT) on Tuesday 8th February 2011 and is open to readers with a UK postal address. There is one entry allowed per person. I’ll pick two of you at random (using random.org) and the winners will each receive one copy of the DVD. I’ll contact the winners on Wednesday 9th February to get your address and will post the DVDs off to you as soon as possible, so hopefully they will be with you in time for Valentine’s Day (can’t promise this though).

**************UPDATE**************

Here are the winners:

Winner One is Mermaid

Winner Two is johanna

Congratulations! I’ll e-mail you to get your postal addresses. Hope you enjoy the DVDs.

NurtureStore is 1 year old today!

365 days since our very first post we’ve shared 226 ideas and had 1231 comments. We’ve been kittens, grown sunflowers, made peg dolls and sung you songs. The most enjoyable part of NurtureStore for me is being part of the play community, sharing ideas with you all and getting lots of inspiration from you. I love the Play Academy we host each Friday as I get to see what you have all been up to during the week and I love hearing from you when you leave a comment here or on our Facebook page.

******************Prize Giveaway******************To celebrate our birthday, Orchard Toys sent us a lovely present: a What a Performance! game. It’s a really fun game and has had us pretending to be frogs, pulling funny faces and squawking like a parrot. B loves the magic spy glass which you have to use to reveal the hidden forfeits and A likes to be officially in charge of the spinner. Like all Orchard Toys there is a good educational element to the game too as it includes counting, language, creativity and turn taking practise. It’s a great family game and perfect for enjoying together with your kids.

And to share the birthday cheer Orchard Toys are giving away a copy of the game to one of you too.
