Kid Kaddy + giveaway

June 4, 2009 | Filed Under Kids | 225 Comments

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED…the winner is #173 Carrie!

Kid Kaddy is a brilliant product I recently had the pleasure of trying out with my youngest son who is three. It’s basically an organized (love that!) and convenient way to carry art supplies. The unique thing about this product is the way the crayons are separated with their own individual slots and of course the portability of the whole thing.

Did I mention it was brilliant yet? Oh I did, well that’s because it is. My son has his crayons and coloring book in his and it has become a church staple for us. This is the one we have.

Now what I like about this product is that yes it keeps the crayons all nicely organized and separated but that would mean nothing if my son didn’t actually put them back that way. Well what do you know he actually does. I don’t know if it’s because all the crayons are all there lined up and separated so he can see which one he wants easily or what but he definitely enjoys not only taking them out but putting them back in as well. Now that’s brilliant. Oh wait I said that already.

Created by two sisters, Debbie Gernenz and Kathy Martis, the Kid Kaddy was born as a way to carry not only crayons, but the books as well, in an organized and easily portable fashion. Very smart thinking ladies.

In fact I now leave my Kid Kaddy right in the van so it’s handy if my son needs something to do while we are traveling or so we can quickly grab it when we get to church or the any other place that requires waiting time and distraction.

Some of the great features of the Kid Kaddy are:

~ two large pockets on the inside that will hold any standard size-coloring book, sketchpad, or notebook

~ a firm, yet light, surface that enhances it’s portability and won’t allow coloring books to bend

~ removable panels to hold crayons, markers, or pencils individually

~ panels can be moved from one side of the Kaddy to the other allowing easy access and acts as a weight to hold down pages

~ made of fabric for a soft feel and includes a hook and loop closure to secure its contents

~ a set of soft handles provides an easy way for small hands to carry

The Kid Kaddy sells for $19.95 and that includes the crayons and coloring book which in my book is a very nice touch.

I get so many compliments on my Kaddy and people are always asking me where I got it from. It’s one of those ideas that is so simple you wonder why you never thought of it first. I really do love it!

The two gals of Kid Kaddy are kindly giving away one today to one of you. The winner will win the Kid Kaddy of their choice from the fabric selections they have available.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me which fabric you would choose if you won (don’t worry you can change your mind later if you want).

Deadline is Monday, June 8th at 6:00 pm PST. NOW CLOSED

Good luck!

What a GREAT idea! I like the one with the pink fuzzy square in the middle.

Heather

I would probably get either the pastel or the primary color one. If I don’t win I may just have to order some, these will be great when we fly to Denver later this summer

I like the Primary colors – it is bright so you can find it even in dark spaces.

Melanie

I’d choose the denim with red pocket. So fun! I like that it opens up with space to color inside.

Heather G

I would pick Shooting Stars. This is a great idea!

What a clever idea! I like the Kid Kaddy Denim with Flowers. =)

I like the Kid Kaddy Denim with Koala Pocket.

Denim with pink pocket.

Clever idea! Love it! I think my favorite is the denim with red pocket. Thanks for doing this.

I like the with the stars–no fighting about boy/girly colors or patterns.

I’ve been trying several different things to keep my sons mini gel pens and coloring books stored in his activity backpack we take to church and doctors offices, and so far nothing as worked well. This looks like it would both fit in the backpack for those long times you need a lot of distraction but to just grab when you need to entertain for only a short time. The denim with red pocket is so cute, and since I have my kids stuff color coded and his color is red, it would be perfect.

Such a cool idea.

I love the denim with the pink pocket!

Jenn @ Beautiful Calling

I like the Kid Kaddy Denim with Koala Pocket because then my son or daughter could use it!

I’d pick on of the denim ones with a colored pocket. Probably the red, so my boys and girl would use it!

THAT IS AMAZING AND WHAT A GREAT thing to have for summer car trips!

Mindy May

What a simple yet amazing idea. If I had to choose a fabric for my son it would be the Denim with the Red pocket.

What a fun idea, I would have a hard time choosing a specific fabric, they are all so cute. Love them all!! My 3 year old loves pink!! So anything with pink would be perfect.

Rhonda Burkhalter

I would have to go with the denim red pocket. I have twins boy/girl and we would want them both to be able to use it. What a neat idea… I would be against leaving it in the car during the summer months and having the crayons melt in the heat, but having it stashed by the front door so we just grab it on the way out is great!

Cool! I like the denim with red pocket.

christi

Anna

Those would be very handy. I think that my kids would love them. If I were ordering them for all three of my children, I would want the denim with different pockets. (Pink gingham for my girl, and the Koala and red pockets for the boys.)

Very cool! They would make really cute pre-k or kindergarten graduation gifts. The star one is my favorite.

Joyce

Denim with Flowers

Christa

I would choose denim cover with red pocket, that way both my boy and my girl could use it, although we might just have to break down and buy two. We are getting ready to take our first major road trip (16 hours) with our children age 4 1/2 and 11months, so this would be great to have in the car for our 4 1/2 year old. The little one is still in the “Must put everything in my mouth” phase.

My daughter & son both love to color & draw. They would love to take this to church and have something to draw with. I love the idea that is is fabric and will not make noise while opening and closing it. I would like the denim with pink – daughter and the denim with red pockets for son.

Chaney
