Kaskey Kids Review and Giveaway
When Ethan was a toddler we still had season tickets to our local hockey team. He could care less about the action on the ice so we tried to find things we could bring for him to play with. At some point we stumbled upon replacement dome hockey players and we picked up a set for him to play his own hockey games during the game. It was a great find, but we had trouble finding more that were the same quality and I would always have to saw off the pegs on the feet of the players and file them down so they would stand up correctly. Over the years those players have seen a lot of action and many have lost their sticks.
This summer we discovered Kaskey Kids, one of those brilliants toys that made us slap our foreheads and wonder why didn’t we think of it! Kaskey Kids is a family run business that makes sets of sports guys. Bruce and Christy Kaskey launched their product when they couldn’t find a similar product for their kids. The guys come in a box that includes not only the players, but the playing surface. The Hockey Guys includes a vinyl ice surface, a ref, puck AND plastic boards and nets. The Football Guys comes with a green field surface, uprights, and a ref. Their Baseball Guys set even comes with a working scoreboard. They also have a Soccer Guys set and most of their sets come in different color combinations. They even have several college football teams.
What I love about these sets is that there are no rules, no proper way to play. Just what is in the box and your child’s imagination. Whenever we watch a football game on TV we get out the football guys for the boys to play there own game. This fall they played flag football for the first time and we used their Kaskey Football Guys set to help teach them the positions and rules.
The product pictures give you an idea of what these guys are all about, but nothing beats some pictures of kids in action.
We have 1 Hockey Guys set we are giving out. Visit the Kaskey Kids website and then submit a comment on this post. Contest ends Midnight December 12th 2008 and we will mail a Hockey Guys set to the winner just in time for Christmas. Contest is open to people from USA and Canada only.

We would like the baseball set…
My grand son loves hockey so that is my number one choice. My second choice is the soccer guys set. (another grand son plays soccer.)
These sets are great.
How can you go wrong with red and blue football teams. GO FORKS!
The football one looks like fun
Even though it doesn’t come with a tiny JoePa… we’d love the Penn State football set.
1st would be the girl’s soccer set as my 4yr old daughter played soccer this past summer. 2nd the hockey set as she has started skating this year and wants to play hockey. 3rd I am going to buy the Florida Gators set for a friend down in FLA for christmas…
Great giveaway, thanks so much!
I’d select the Hockey set
With 3 sons they would definatly have a blast playing with this. I like the fact that you use your imagination and not rules.
I love the hockey guys set – finally, we could revoke the “no hockey in the house” rule!
These look like fun! I love the soccer set too. It’d be a great activity for when it’s too cold to go out this winter! Thanks for the giveaway!
My 3 year old son is having a great time playing hockey with little dinosaurs and other figurines on his air hockey table… I ordered a hockey set 2 weeks ago for his Christmas (from the US for $40+)! Should be fun to see him get an updated roster.
Just surveyed my rink area and looks like I am ready to go when the temp drops to -15, 3 days in a row…
these are really cute! like the soccer guys, too
this is on my son’s christmas list this year! I love all the different sets they have!

With three boys under 7 in my house, this site looks like my new best friend! Thanks for the giveaway!
We’re big soccer people around here, so I like the soccer set, but hockey works too.

my sons would like the baseball set.
Thanks
I think the hockey set would be great for my grandsons. Thank you!
My friends son loves hockey, I’d love to win this for him. She is always doing stuff for my girls, it would be great to return the favor! I love that they have girl versions as well, very cool!
Love the baseball guys as well as the hockey ones…very good idea to pretend- play sports….gives a child lots of room to create, improvise, play!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my– for my hockey-lovin’ husband and his baby boy…
My Tampa Bay Lightning-lovin’ boy (and my husband, too!) would LOVE this! What a great site they have…all those sports in one place!
My son has a few of the different sets and they are his favorite toys to play with. He loves setting up a “stadium” and then having them play their game. I’m not sure what he likes more, setting up the stadium around the mat or playing the games! He plays hockey so that is the next set on his list.
What a fantastic teaching tool. Also, my children love playing with characters and so much the more when it is something THEY actually do in “real life.”
Nice!
Love them all!!! But, especially the SOCCER GUYS & SOCCER GIRLS set!!!
I can already tell this would be such the perfect toy for my ds! : )))
Thanks so much for this give~away! : )))
