Going to buy your children yet another doll, stuffed animal, or toy soldier for their birthdays or other Holidays? Why not try some more unique toys and games to spark your kids’ interest? We’ve got several educational, interactive, and new and exciting choices!
In recent years, the Marshmallow Shooter has been a popular toy for kids and adults alike. Recently, the Marshmallow Fun Company introduced the Bow and Mallow. It’s like a bow and arrow, yet it shoots marshmallows (or foam pellets). There is a tube holding the marshmallows that sits on the “arrow” portion. You pull back the bow and marshmallow shoots out! The Bow and Mallow and other Marshmallow Shooters are a more fun and much less violent substitute for toy guns. And, with the Bow and Mallow, your child can pretend to be an elf like in Lord of the Rings, or even Robin Hood!
The Eyeclops Night Vision Binoculars are perfect for those re-con missions or those covert operations at night. Powered by Real Night Vision Technology, you can see up to 50 feet away in almost total darkness. The handheld night vision binoculars also allow you to move around without having the goggles strapped to your head.
The iCoaster is a roller coaster track your kids build themselves in any one of 10 configurations. They can also build it to include certain “stunts”. A magnetic ball travels the length of the track, including any stunts that were built in, and can go up and down the iCoaster elevator. The best part is that kids can plug in their MP3 players and the lights on the track will flash in time with the music. Your kids can build and rebuild the iCoaster as many times as they want!
Scene It? DVD games are already popular with children and adults alike. However, they’ve taken some of their most popular versions and put out updated versions that are completely new and different from their predecessors. One most kids will love is the Disney Channel Deluxe Edition.
Children tend to be easy to shop for – their old favorites or the new fad toy usually suits them fine. But if you show a little imagination and get your children a more unique toy or game, they can learn something new and you can enjoy it together.
