Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day - Handmade Baby & Kid Items - Counting Owls - now closed

Once again I'm participating in Sew, Mama, Sew!'s Giveaway Day. This time I'm giving away a set of five wool felt counting owls. These lovely little owls can be used as toys or math manipulatives for a special little one in your life.


To enter the giveaway just leave me a comment on this post telling me who you'll be giving the owls to and why you think that child will like the owls.  And you don't have to say, but I'd also be curious to know if the child homeschools or not. :)

For a second entry into the giveaway leave a comment letting me know you follow Moo Said the Mama.

I'll be accepting entry comments until May 25th and will be selecting the winner the following day. The owls will be shipped by June 1st. Unfortunately I am unable to ship internationally at this time and the giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.



ETA - The giveaway is closed and the winner was #57 Cherilyn!

  1. So cute! I would be giving them to my 9 month old daughter. Right now she would love to chew on them, but before too long we'll do lots of learning games! (FYI - your link on the Sew Mama Sew linkup doesn't work.) annie@gluegunannie.com

  6. I'd be donating them to the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital here in Spokane WA. I do all my sewing for them. The kids are awesome and need things to make them smile and these would work! Thanks.

  8. These are darling! I'll be giving them to DGD who is 3 (almost 4) and smart as a whip--she's not in school yet, or pre-school, but I suspect she'll be enrolled soon rather than home-schooled since daughter will have to go back to work....

  12. I just had a baby and we used owls in her nursery, so I would use them in there and save them for when she's older.

  13. My granddaughter would love these, she carries an owl backpack to day care every day!

  14. I'd be giving this to my little 2 year old boy. He loves all animals and loves to count, so it's perfect! I am planning on homeschooling him when he's older... we already do a lot of learning activities together.

  15. I would love these for my baby to play with (when she grows a inch or 2) with her big brother Jared. We do a charter school with Jared who is on the autistic spectrum.

  21. Ooooo....I love these! I teach third grade and some of the lower grade teachers at my school have "Stan the Owl" to help introduce standards to the students. This would definitely be something I know they could use for math in connection with Stan.

  22. I would give these to my daughter. She's 14 months and said owl for the first time yesterday while playing with her owl stuffed animal.

  23. These are adorable! I'd keep them, honestly, because I love owls so much! BUT, my son would probably use them to play. He isn't homeschooled(although he was briefly last year) but goes to a montessori school. AND, if I'm blessed with a child number two, they would be used as counting fun!

  24. My three year old daughter loves to count. I bet she would love these little owls!

  25. I would be playing with these with my little 8 month old prince. He may chew a little to help his poor little gums, 7 teeth already. He loves to pick stuff up and give it back to me after I give to him. And of course watching me contantly pick them back up! Clips for everything! ;) Thanks

  26. These would be for my son who is two. We would use them for counting games and just playing!

  32. I would give those cuties to my nephew who will be 2 next month. They live surrounded by nature, and I'm sure he would appreciate the owls. My sister plans to homeschool him, as well as any siblings if she is blessed with more children. Thanks for the chance to win!

  44. I have a 15 month old who loves little things to manipulate, so he would love these! We'll be working on counting as soon as he's old enough, so how perfect they would be then, too. We won't be homeschooling in the future, but we are considering a university-model school instead. :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. I would give them to my nephew. He's starting to learn his numbers; he can count to twenty but he gets excited and starts to skip numbers. He also loves to make animal sounds. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  58. How adorable! I don't know what time today the cut off is.... I figured I'd try just in case. :-) I'd give these to my daughter who's school next year is the owls. However, I know she'd let her little brother play with them too. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'd send these to my niece! She's only one year old so I don't know for sure, but I don't think she's going to be homeschooled.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

About Me

My Photo
A 40 something mama meandering through life with an eclectic 21 year old boy-man (the boy), an 8 year old girl (big girl) who is a ball of lightening, and a 4 year old girl (baby girl) who brightens our lives with her smiles. I'm grounded by my 40 something husband and partner (the hubster) whose quirky mannerisms brighten my days.

I've been a single mama, married mama, divorced mama, career mama, SAHM, and WAHM. There was a short time of my life when I wasn't a mama, but that was a LONG time ago!

I hold an AA, BS, and MA and most say I'm wasting them by devoting my intellectual capabilities and energy in the nurture of the wee ones that I've been entrusted to raise, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing these days. :)

I love hearing from readers, so please share your thoughts and leave comments, too!
