What is Vemana Saying?

This book was hailed by our testers as “a treasure that should be added to a child’s library.” A book that “deserves a place in a child’s permanent reading collection.” High praise indeed for this beautiful book that features gorgeous, richly colored illustrations and stories that expose children to timeless morals that are simple and

ScareMeNots

ScareMeNots

During the testing of these colorful and strange looking puppet pals parent testers told us how many of their children and children they knew harbored worries and concerns that seemed to heighten at bedtime.

Air Hogs Wind Chaser

Air Hogs Wind Chaser

When the skies are clear and the winds steadily blow, who among us doesn’t dream of, or recall carefree days of flying a kite? Kites have come a long way and Spin Master has added a terrific twist to the classic kite (it seems there is nothing that can’t use a little tweaking). Everything looks

Moon Sand Cement City

Moon Sand Cement City

Moon Sand is one of those tactile experience toys that you really have to experience first hand. No matter what we write about it here, you have to feel it to understand. In our testing centers kids absolutely loved the texture and how easy it was to manipulate Moon Sand. In this set, kids can
