The birth of a new baby is always a special occasion and a reason to celebrate and this week WoodenToyShop is celebrating the anniversary of one such blessed event. Something like, ahem, twenty one years ago Rob’s mum, dad and brother were celebrating the arrival of a bonny new baby son and brother. In recognition of this wonderful happening and to make Rob feel a little bit more special on his big day, this week’s Wooden Wednesday competition prize is a £50 voucher (no, not one for every year!) to spend on baby and toddler toys at WoodenToyShop.*
This week’s competition is as traditional as they come: guess the weight of the baby! As unlikely as it may seem, our Rob was born in a pre-decimal age, so his birth weight was recorded in pounds and ounces. To enter this week’s competition all you have to do is tell us how much baby Rob weighed when he was born.
This competition is open until 11am on Thursday 26th September. The winner will be announced on this blog shortly after this time.
As an added incentive (?) to all friends of WoodenToyShop, if we get enough entries we might even upload an old black and white (not sepia!) photo of baby Robert.
*Don't worry, you can spend your voucher on any of our toys from any part of our store.
