Air Hogs Havoc Heli

Air Hogs Havoc Heli

You won’t believe how much fun this tiny, featherweight helicopter can be, that is until you spend about two minutes with it. To the delight of our testers the Havoc Heli flew right out of the box. We should note that not everyone “gets it” right away, especially our younger testers who had limited experience […]

Potty Bench

Potty Bench

A wonderfully stylish all-in-one solution for potty trainers and their families, this bench by Boon caught our testers eyes with its innovative design and appeal. This appeal went beyond a parent’s desire for a workable solution to potty trainers because children as well were eager to explore and use it. The construction is so solid

Ultimate Planetarium

The magic and mystery of a star filled night sky has inspired poets, dreamers and scientists for ages. If you have any of the above in your home this may be the perfect gift.

Chakra Energy

The Magic School Bus Series

The Magic School Bus Series

This set of exploration and science activities was a huge hit with our testers. Children were beside themselves with excitement and anticipation, eager to discover and learn.

Flytech Dragonfly

Remote Controlled vehicles have an instant “cool” factor built in. There is something about the wireless control and the power in your hands. We have evaluated many R/C’s over the years, but we have never experienced anything like the Flytech Dragonfly. Tester after tester explained how remarkable the experience was as they felt like they

Wee Gallery Jungle Art Cards for Baby

These boldly illustrated cards are designed to give parents and baby a fun, interactive experience. As the high contrast images catch baby’s eye, Mom or Dad can make the sound of the animal, say its name and stimulate their child’s connection to the image. Testers liked that the cards are made of heavy duty card

Crane Cool Mist Humidifier

Crane Cool Mist Humidifier

Humidifiers aren’t usually the type of product that get’s comments like “How Cute” or “Isn’t that adorable” but that’s exactly what we heard in the testing center’s from parents who laid eyes on the Crane Cool Mist Humidifier.
