Passenger Plane

Passenger Plane

This task-specific Lego building kit gives children the raw material to assemble a cool looking commercial airplane. From there they can role play the part of pilot, control tower operator, passenger or mechanic which is by any accounts is very cool indeed. The set comes with a well illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet that virtually assures […]

Flower Pillow with Book

Flower Pillow with Book

The very desirable demographic of tween girls is also one of the most complicated to attract. Fads, phases and interests seem to change on an hourly basis. B*tween Productions has developed a book series that manages to cover the bases quite well, offering up characters and storylines that speak to girls on the edge of

<BR>Mederma for Kids


Mederma for Kids

Parents were quite enthusiastic in their praise of Mederma. Great results, easy to apply and it smells good. All that added up to happy parents and perhaps more importantly, happy kids who didn’t resist or squirm when Mom pulled the tube out. Several of our testers reported back that after regular daily usage that scars

Polarity

Polarity

There are new and unique games that hit the market that catch your eye and then there is Polarity. We guarantee you have never seen or played a game like this before.

Evolution - The Game That Evolves As You Play

Evolution is a hugely entertaining, skill-building board game that your entire family will enjoy and play over and over again. Uniquely designed as a game that evolves as you play, players form tribes that must evolve through five distinct phases and complete different challenges.

Thing-A-Ma Bots

Thing-A-Ma Bots

Thing-A-Ma Bots is silly fun in a box full of cards, but what impressed our testers with this Gamewright offering is how sneaky it is at strengthening memory skills and celebrating creativity. The rules of the game are easy to understand and given it’s size, it lends itself perfectly to travel. Kids loved making up

Uglydoll Card Game

Uglydoll Card Game

Admittedly the name is not the most attractive we have ever heard. In fact, most parents admitted to being taken aback by the title of this game. However they learned that you can’t judge a game by its box. It wasn’t long before both parents and their children discovered how much fun this Uglydoll game

Quelf

Quelf

A great party game keeps everyone involved, hopefully proves a healthy dose of laughter and is something you want to play again and again. Quelf has all of that in spades. Quelf had our testers in stitches throughout. Lots of the playing cards require acting out, but make no mistake, this isn’t charades. Testers were
