Pocoyo is fast becoming the world’s most popular preschooler with a hit television series that entertains audiences on over 150 networks around the world, including Nick Jr., PBS and Univision in the U.S., and next up we have a Pocoyo prize pack for one lucky winner!

The show follows the adventures of the fun-loving preschooler and his friends Elly (the elephant), Pato (the duck) and Loula (the dog), and engages audiences with music, dance and humor, encouraging children to learn through laughter. Pocoyo has charmed parents and pop culture mavens as well: Pocoyo has amassed more than 50 million hits per month on its YouTube Channel and more than 600 million hits in the last two years alone; he has 525,000 friends on Facebook; and 11 million unique visitors have experienced Pocoyo’s online virtual environment.

Inspired by the imaginative Pocoyo and his friends, the stars of the CGI animated series produced by Zinkia Entertainment, the Pocoyo SwiggleTraks Feature Set complements Bandai’s existing line of adorable Pocoyo plush, vehicles and bath toys. The Pocoyo toy line from Bandai America Incorporated is now available at retail locations nationwide, including Toys “R” Us, select Walmart stores, walmart.com and Amazon.com.

SwiggleTraks Feature Set: A new twist – literally – on classic track play for preschoolers, the Pocoyo SwiggleTraks Feature Set is now available at retail locations nationwide and online.

Designed to inspire learning through laughter, the Pocoyo and Friends Swiggle Traks Feature Track With Bridge empowers young children to create a track play set that is uniquely their own. The SwiggleTraks system features colorful, flexible track pieces that are simple to connect and easy to add onto, and comes with a motorized, musical Pocoyo vehicle, as well as a moving bridge that puts the exciting “swiggle” movement in SwiggleTraks.

In addition to offering delightful, dynamic action, the SwiggleTraks system offers meaningful playtime for preschoolers and parents. Said Kendy Gioia, early childhood development expert and director of the Bandai Preschool Lab, “The SwiggleTraks system not only offers toddlers the chance to engage in independent, self-directed play, but also encourages fine motor skill and cognitive development, like the use of hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity to connect the flexible pieces and control the moving track. These activities are beneficial in preparing preschoolers for the more refined skills needed in school.”

Check out the award-winning Pocoyo’s SwiggleTraks on YouTube.

One lucky Wild For Wags reader will win a Pocoyo SwiggleTraks prize package, including the SwiggleTracks, 4 Pocoyo DVDs, Pocoyo Bath Fun figures and a t-shirt!

To America’s favorite brand of premium scented candles…

Yankee Candle has become the #1 most-recognized name in the candle business and the country’s best selling candle brand by sharing their customers’ “passion for fragrance” in every product they bring to market.

Today, with over 150 fragrances, Yankee Candle offers the world’s largest and most compelling selection of candle and home fragrance scents.

Grateful Giveaways #7: Knork Flatware

I’m excited to bring you 14 amazing giveaways as part of this year’s Grateful Giveaways: Celebrating a Season for Giving event. For all of my holiday gift ideas, be sure to visit the Wild For Wags Holiday Gift Guide!

Next up, an interesting take on classic flatware. We’ve all heard of a spork, but what about a…knork?

Mike Miller first thought of the idea while eating pizza with a group of friends. Trying to eat pizza with a normal fork, he realized what a struggle it was and how uncomfortable it felt. The challenge of neatly slicing pizza in a manner capable of impressing girls was what led Mike to conceptualize the Knork. Once he saw an employee cutting pizzas in the back with a pizza cutter and taking pictures of people of all ages using a regular fork, Mike combined all this into one utensil that was suitable for all ages and right or left handed users. The idea then sat for four years until graduating from high school.

After attending a few years at Kansas State University with a medical degree in mind, the idea for the Knork still remained. Being 20 years old at the time, he decided to return home to Wichita and take business classes at Wichita State University. Mike’s first step was establishing parent company Phantom Enterprises in October 2000. He then pursued a patent by researching and developing a prototype. Using one of his mother’s forks as a base, he used Bondo, a car modeling compound, to create a model. Today, the Knork is properly patented, produced and marketed and is on the ‘cutting edge’!

Knork 20-Piece Flatware Set: Knork Flatware is ergonomically designed to correctly fit the way we naturally eat. Its patented design combines innovation and function to produce a complete line of modern flatware designed with comfort, style and stability in mind. Five-piece place settings include Dinner Knork, Salad Knork, Place Knife, Place Spoon and Teaspoon, all with the Knork’s distinctive styling, 18/0 stainless steel, hand formed from a single solid bar of stainless steel and two-toned Duo Finish with a glossy head and frosted handle.

Knork 5-piece Serving Set: Simple and striking, this satin serving set will complement your Knork dining set. This set includes a Serving Knork, a Serving Spoon, a Slotted Spoon, a Butter Knife, and a Sugar Spoon made from 18/0 stainless steel with a matte brushed finish.

One lucky Wild For Wags reader will win a 20-piece Knork Flatware Set plus a 5-piece Knork Serving Set!

Their furniture slipcover product line includes slipcovers for sofas, loveseats, chairs, oversized chairs, wing chairs, dining room chairs, recliners, ottomans and folding chairs as well as furniture and pet throws as well as coordinating decorative pillows.

All of their furniture covers are made in the latest styles in machine-washable fabrics including faux silk and faux suede, cotton, denim, matelasse, chenille, damask and jacquard for both box cushion and T-cushion furniture. The Stretch Pique One-Piece Slipcover is a soft, waffle-textured form-fitting fabric that is perfect for shaped furniture. You simply won’t believe it’s a slipcover! Memory stretch fabric and all-around elastic provide a clean, sleek look that goes on easily and stays in place.

Fiber content: 94% polyester / 6% spandex. Imported. Pillow shell imported. Machine wash separately in cold water, gentle cycle. Only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry low, do not iron.
