  1. I would really love to win this for my little boy! Boats and playing cards are two of his current obsessions and since I am on my way to the hospital to have his baby sister a handsome little box of distractions like this one is exactly what he needs.

  10. Hi there,

    I read your blog faithfully and love that you do giveaways. Your style is impeccable, and I appreciate all the research and care that goes into every post. Truth be told, your blog helped me to embrace the strange new world that having a boy meant for me when I was expecting my son, now one year old.

    Still, I can't help but commenting on the implication that handing a child a package labeled "good things for boys/girls" holds. There is power in our words and we must use it responsibly. Gender roles have been handed down through the generations through messages both implicit and explicit. Though certainly I am no zealot, I do my absolute best to create as few expectations for my boy as possible by way of interests and activities typically introduced as masculine. I know you love pink for your little guy; mine's signature color is purple.

    With this in mind, I want to register my concern at letting on to our little ones, so influenceable at this tender age, that we, as their most important adults, believe that knitting is for girls, or hacky sack is for boys, for example.

    I hope this is read as simply a gentle reminder to take care and consideration :)

    All the best,

    L.A.

  11. Dear L.A.

    Thank you for your comment and for reading this blog over the years. It means so much to hear from readers. I actually had the same thought when I was photographing this product. It doesn't offend me, but I certainly see your point.

    I think Seedling is going for an old-fashion wholesome approach. The company makes great products that foster imagination and creativity.

    It is a tough issue...where to draw the line? and when to give in? And know, I would give my son the box for girls, if I thought he'd like it better.


    Hope to see our pink and purple guys proudly knitting away in the future. Please, always keep me on my toes. Warmest. Amanda
