I recently discovered the coolest little camcorder … for kids! It is the Crayola Digital Camcorder, which is like a mini version of adult camcorders … but designed just for kids. Although, I have to admit that many grown-ups will be jealous how easy it is to use this kid-friendly camcorder.
This thing is tiny in [...]

I absolutely love the WowWee Animal Alive Cubs and Minis that we have in our house. And I knew that the robotic experts at WowWee also designed other uber-cool robots, like Wrex the Dog and RoboSapien. But, I didn’t know they made these little, simple cars called ZipBots.
NASCAR Zipbots come two cars in a set. [...]

Last year the huge toy craze was the WowWee Animal Alive Cubs. Even I got into the swing of it, giving my son a White Tiger Cub. I’ve read several reviews on them, with a range of opinions. Personally, I loved it and still do after owning it for 11 months. It became my sons [...]

I live in a small house. That means every toy I have MUST have value. My boys MUST stay interested in them. Big toys with no value annoy me quickly and end up being free-cycled. Big toys in general worry me, since I have to figure out where I am going to put them. In [...]

The other day I was at the gym watching the television and I was hit by a mesmerizing commercial. It was this dude on a skateboard in his living room. He was obviously playing a game where he had to skateboard, but as he “rolled” the carpet under his feet changed shapes, colors and more. [...]

Sync Up is a party game from USAopoly for 3 to 6 players, ages 13 and up. The idea is hilarious, as you and one player have to say the SAME answer for different categories. But don’t get too cozy with this player, because you are still competing against them and will have to “sync [...]
