I can’t be the only parent in the world who loves buying toys for their children. I don’t think you ever really grow bored of toys and children are a great excuse for forgetting the washing up and having some fun! In fact, I’m happy to admit my house is a mess because I’d rather help the toddler build towers, have car crashes or his recent favourite, race cars down the hallway!
Today I have a great giveaway thanks to Argos who have offered the Disney Pixar Cars 2 Spiral Speedway for one lucky reader of the gingerbread house.
This is a great toy for any child, big or small, that loves playing with cars. Recreate the Speedway Grand Prix in the comfort of your own home this summer holiday! Flip the starting gate to launch McQueen and Francesco into a side-by-side race down three spiral ramps and through three cities. This toy also features character sound effects for the full Cars 2 toys experience!
I’ve previously written about our love for Fisher Price and there are many more great Fisher Price toys on the Argos website.
Giveaway:
I have one Fisher Price Cars 2 Spiral Speedway to giveaway to a lucky reader of the gingerbread house.

My favourite car was my Subaru. We went on a great adventure to France in it for about 7 weeks when I was made redundant and virtually lived out of it. We slept in it for the odd night here and there too when it suited us, as well as late night pitching of a tent in mountainside laybys. It was like one of the family! I cried when the man in Kwik Fit told me how much the failed MOT would cost to fix as I knew it was time for the scrap yard!

Like you my favourite car is my wedding car, it was a stunning Bentley mulsane, that carried me & my poofy dress to the church all those years ago! You don’t see them around that often, but everytime I do I’m transported to that moment, sitting in the back of the mulsane trying really hard no to hyperventilate, cry & scream with joy all at the same time!! ;0)
Definitely the DeLorean DMC-12! Such a fun car to have!

My all time Fave would have to be the old 70’s style mini clubman- it was my very first car and I still love them ( though not the new ones so much!! )
The original Mini, I owned one when I was younger and we lived at the end of a very bumpy road, that was the most fun to drive down ever! though you did have a slight risk of concussion from the amount of times your head hit the roof
