Fun Finds For Mom

Swoop Mini Giveaway

Do you know about Swoop Bags? They’re drawstring bags that expand out to become a play mat. Your kids can play with Legos to their heart’s content, then swoop up the bag and instantly have it all cleaned up — without any actual picking up! Scroll down to enter to win your own Swoop Mini!

I don’t know about your kids, but mine usually find a way to make it look like they’ve cleaned up — but then I’ll find some strategically placed pillows hiding a big pile of Legos that never made it into the bin. These bags are a win win for mom and kids!

This modern toy storage company was created by a mom (of course) and graphic designer named Sarah Kirk, who based the bag off handmade bags her grandmother and mother had made in the past. Genius, right?!

On October 1, Swoop is launching a new product: Swoop Mini. It’s made of the same 100% cotton sturdy canvas and durable black nylon drawstring as the original. The difference is the size, which is 16″ diameter instead of the 44″ diameter of the original — perfect for bringing on play dates, on the plane, or on road trips. They can be used not only for Legos, but Polly Pockets, Squinkies, stuffed animals — or any small toys you’re tired of stepping on or finding scattered around the house!

Enter to win a Swoop Mini by leaving a comment on this post by Monday, October 1, telling us what you would use it for! The winner will be randomly chose and announced by October 2. Thanks and good luck!

Congratulations to #5, Carrie, who said: “Yes! I was just eyeing swoop again the other day. For now, we still have all the Legos in a huge bed sheet that we use exactly like the swoop bag!! Hahaha.”

    My two girls do love their Legos … but I need a Swoop Mini for all those Polly Pockets and Princesses with the rubber dresses that are impossible to get on :)

    Would LOVE to win one! How cool! Would definitely use it for my son and daughter! He lays out cars everywhere and she has so many little beanie babies now that this would be perfect to play with them in! Thank you so much for the chance!! Hugs!

    We have a ton of Legos and a little guy who always wants to bring some along, so it would be great for Legos on the road!

    I can think of so many uses for these bags, I think I’d need a small flotilla! However, since I need to pick one, we’d probably start with Polly Pockets.

    I don’t have any kids and would have a hard time giving this novel bag away! So, I would probably use it for all of my quilty works in progress so when people stop by, I don’t look like a raging slob! What a great bag!

  10. Carla G on September 26th, 2012 at 5:51 pm:

    I’d use this for lego! I’m tired of lego all over my floor!!! Thanks for a chance to win! :)

  11. Mel W on September 26th, 2012 at 9:21 pm:

    So many uses….where to start? Blocks, fisher price people,
    Kitchen play food, Travel bag of kid activities while out and about.
    The list is endless:)
