CLOSED: Gummy Lump Carries Royalty! (+50$ Gift Certificate Giveaway)....Sure Call It a Royal Celebration Giveaway!

You may think we're crazy but yes, my family DID wake up at early this morning to watch the Royal Wedding broadcast live!
My alarm went off at 4am CST and in clockwork precision Bunny girl jumped out of bed, Hubby followed and Bunny Boo sprung up not wanting to miss out on whatever crazy fun our family might have planned at that unearthly hour!

Why did I do it? To be honest I've loved the British Royals ever since I was a young girl. My parents had us enrolled in a British school and we worshiped in the local Anglican church that proudly hosted Prince Charles and Princess Anne on two separate occasions.
(My sister has the photographs to prove it. Please don't ask me to scan them in a post because I was a dumpling of a high school student with the most hideous hairstyle and still shudder to see what I looked like then!)


Considering all that, would I miss the wedding of the century?
Not a chance!!

Bunny girl insisted on watching the live broadcast with us thrilled to learn that there really are real life Princes and Princesses. After the beautiful bride and dapper groom (the now Duchess and Duke of Cambridge!) rode into Buckingham Palace my poor excited Princess crashed back into bed to catch up on sleep before preschool started but I'm glad she got to witness a historic wedding take place.

So yes, I could not let this wonderful day slip away without letting you in on a HUGE secret!


The Buzz:

We all know Gummy Lump as one of the best online toy stores for children. Their creative and educational toy selections have been used by parents as "must-buys" while shopping for their kids.
Gummy Lump
is fondly also known as the store for all things Melissa and Doug but that's not all!
Here's the scoop....

They even carry Royalty!

WHAT?

That's right!!

They carry ROYALTY!!!


....Melissa & Doug's Royalty Puppets!

((CHESHIRE CAT GRIN!!))

I'm sorry! (Snicker!) Considering how today finds me caught up in all things "ROYAL", I just could not hold myself back on that one!


But Honestly, Jokes Aside....

We've always associated imaginative play with pretend play toys and tend to forget how valuable the power of hand puppets really is. I teach children between the ages of 3-5 in our church Missionettes class every Wednesday and I've found that I'm able to get the little ones hooked onto every word I say when a hand puppet decides to join me for the class.



Hand puppets are also a great way to trigger off a child's creative juices and get them flowing. Bunny girl adores hand puppets and just by using these four puppets alone she put on a Resurrection Day Show for us this past weekend.



(She used the King for Jesus, the Queen for Mary Magdalene, the Knight for Peter and the Princess for the Angel on the tomb)



Great for Special Needs:

When I ordered this set I thought I'd use this for my class till my sister, who is a Speech Therapist, asked if she could have them for her therapy sessions. She has been looking out for quality kids puppets and after listening to me rave about how they animatedly remind me of a Muppets show, she knew her search for the right therapy aids was over.


No these aren't your average sized hand puppets.
(My strategically placed 500 ml water bottle will help sink that in.)


She plans to build on her collection with more puppets and a puppet theater and considering these are Melissa & Doug, these will durably withstand hours of use and considerable handling by the kids too.



So while we are sad that we will say goodbye to our Royal Highnesses soon, we're just thrilled that we had the honor of being in Royal company especially on a symbolic day as this!
((Wink!))
