In top national newspapers and magazines, it has been reported that Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters are one of the hottest toys of 2009! Zhu Zhu Pets™ were recently included on some of the most influential toy lists of the holiday season. A leading specialty toy retailer, named Zhu Zhu Pets™ to their 2009 Holiday Hot Toy and the “Fabulous 15” lists. Additionally, renowned toy expert Dr. Toy has included Zhu Zhu Pets™ on her Top 10 ‘High Tech’ Toys and her Top 100 Toys list of 2009. FunFare Magazine, a leading consumer toy publication, also named Zhu Zhu Pets™ to its 11th Annual Holiday HOT DOZEN.

The best alternatives to real live hamsters, Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters don’t poop, die, or stink, but they are still a riot of motion and sound. They dart around in their hamster tubes and busily scurry from room to room. You never know where they’ll go next! Simply pet the hamster’s back, set him down, and watch him Zhu Zhu Zhu-oom! Zhu Zhu Pets™ like to be picked up and snuggled too! Pet them gently on the nose, and they’ll squeak with contentment. These hamsters have over 40 different sound effects, depending on the unique environment they encounter.

Zhu Zhu Pets™ are innovative, realistic, interactive, plush, and artificially intelligent hamsters that talk and move around in their own play sets. Zhu Zhu Pets™ include two play modes: nurturing mode where the hamsters coo and purr and adventure mode where the hamsters explore their habitat with intelligent audio and mechanical responses to various habitat stimuli. Over a dozen add-ons can be purchased to build an ever-evolving hamster world for your hamster to play in and explore. Powered by 2 AAA batteries (included), Zhu Zhu Pets™ are suitable for ages 3 and up. For more information, on this limited-supply child pleaser, click on any blue link in this post.

Your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster Needs You!

Right out-of-the-box you can hear it "chatter" and make its own silly noises when you press its nose...
If your Hamster is already "exploring" and running around, when it bumps it's nose it will make a startled noise, and back-up out of the way, and then run off to explore some more!

When you want to cuddle with or "reward" your hamster, pet it on the head (right behind the ears... they like that a lot) Your hamster will chirp and purr and coo contentedly. These little furballs love it when you pet them... and they'll keep "talking" until they get bored and go to sleep.

To let your hamster know it's OK to run around and explore its environment, press it on its back and watch them go! Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters love to run around and explore. If you want to calm them down, you can pat it on the head button to cuddle (and it will stop running) or you can press it on its back and you will hear your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster yawn and then go to sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST TOY PURCHASE IN YEARS!!!, January 19, 2007

By S. Bland (Frisco, TX United States)

MY BOYS AND NEPHEWS ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE!! (Especially the 6'5" one - my husband)! Had a group of 12 fifth-grade boys over for a birthday party and the marshmallow guns were the hit of the party - all the boys were talking about them at school the next day. They occasionally get jammed up - just push what's in there out with a pencil, run a little hot water through there and dry it out... you're ready to go again! A little cornstarch on the marshmallows helps keep things dry and shooting smoothly. AWESOME PRODUCT!

Foamfetti

Hear it crackle and feel it crinkle , while you make animals, decorate frames and pencil cups, or roll it into a real bouncing ball. This special sculpting mix dries by itself, turning your idea into a fun work of art or keepsake. Foamfetti sticks to itself, to unfinished wood and to paper. It's easy to make all sorts of cool stuff with foamfetti. Ages 5 and up. There are quite a few other Foamfetti selections. To see them, click the Foamfetti link above.

Product Features

· Crinkle, crackle, create

· A new air-dry sculpting mix

· Includes 3 colors

· Fairy Tale Princess includes pink, yellow and purple

· Create and decorate something fun

Kazoo Instrument

The reviews for this Kazoo product were not all that good. However, there are quite a few other Kazoos at the Kazoo link above. Perhaps, you can look them over and form your own conclusion.

Thunder Tube

This toy is so simple, but very effective! It makes a wonderful
realistic sound of thunder. Good for
practical jokes. For example, it's
time to remind your guests that it's
time to go home. You secretly shake
this toy behind their backs. Someone
say, Oh! It looks like rain will be
soon! We'd better be going home...

Very durable, cheap but nice and

funny toy. There are four more Thunder Tubes at the Thunder Tube link above.

Melody Harp

Music to Your Ears

What a glorious instrument! This is so
beautifully crafted and the sheet
music is wonderful.. We bought it as
a gift for our 9 year old and, truth be
told, the teenagers and the adults
love it too!!! I've since ordered
additional music packs and they're
great too. Skip the cheap ones
that are on the market and buy
this one. There are 13 Melody
Harps and accessories at the
Melody Harp link above.

Blunders

Blunders is Best, April 23, 2009

By Aimee Symington

A Review of the Board Game,

"Blunders" by Games for

Educators in April, 2009

There are many things that make

"Blunders" an engaging game

for children.

It's funny the details that we remember from events in

our lives. Rarely do we remember every single happening

but instead, we may bring along snippets from the various

scenes we experience. One such snippet for me was a

mere portion of the advice I received while taking a class

on Children's Literature. That piece, given to the future

children's book writers, was to avoid being preachy.

Such topics are no fun for children, we were told.

Playing games follows a similar suit. When consumers choose

games to purchase it is important to remember that even

though they may want the game to teach them something,

they also want to have fun.. Why else choose that game

to play in your leisure time?

Now, as a teacher, I look for games that pack in quite a

punch. I want educational, engaging, interesting, and fun.

I want games that I can modify and with multiple uses. I

want games that we can play for fun during recess or play

in a specific class setting or for a particular purpose. No

one is motivated to participate otherwise.

"Blunders" is a board game for children ages 5 to 10,

which I feel fulfills my lofty requirements. The point

of the game is to teach manners, but play does not

revolve around any punitive actions. Play is consumed

by moving along a visually appealing board, landing on

either a purple, orange, or green space, and addressing

a corresponding situation involving etiquette. There

are 4 types of questions: Multiple Choice, Charades,

True/False, and Scenarios. Topics include, but are not
limited to, telephone etiquette, respecting adults,
gossiping, bullying, proper table manners, and personal
responsibility.

Play is easily managed by rolling a die and simply moving
along the board. Young players may need assistance
reading the cards, but the game can be played in teams.

The game has a personal touch in that each named has
a distinct personality, completely described in the
direction booklet. Brenda, for instance, possesses quite
an active imagination and keen artistic talent, but lacks
in polite greeting skills and gossips too much. Therefore,
children may choose a character to which he/she relates.

Here are the many advantages to this board game:
1. It is fun to play.
2. It teaches a life skill.
3. Children are drawn to the personalities of the players
and the situation cards.
4. It is easy enough to catch on to the strategy of play, but
presents situations that require children to use thinking skills
requiring the use of judgment.
5. The game can be played without adult supervision, yet
a teacher can easily adapt it for use in the classroom. The
charade cards present excellent opportunities to discuss
etiquette in a fun manner.
6. It is visually appealing.
7. The game has a website,[...]. Teachers can use this
website for writing extension activities, because it contains
a link where players can submit their own "Manners Moments"
or "blunderblogs" to share with others. Teachers can also
download and print free educational materials.

I highly recommend "Blunders" for use at home and at school!
There are seven entries for Blunders to be found by clicking

the Blunders link above.

Clue

We played Clue as kids, and found
that this updated version (with some
different rooms and weapons and a
couple new rules), really freshened
the game up.

We bought the game as a gift for
our 9YO. I thought it would be too
complicated, but as we played
through a game, she caught on,
as well as her 10YO friend. The
rules seemed a little overwhelming,
but as we started playing it all fell together, especially
since we had the rule sheet on the table to refer to. In
the next 24 hours, the kids played it two more times.
We have a million games in our house, and this
immediately became a favorite. You will find three
pages of Clue and related items by clicking Clue above.

Candy Land

There are good reasons this is your kid's first board game.

...there are several good reasons why "Candy Land" is the
first board game children learn to play:

First, the game does not require children know how to read.
They do not even need to know their numbers as they do in
"Chutes and Ladders." Movement is based on a child being
able to recognize colors and symbols. What could be easier
than that?
Second, the game is based on luck
(or chance or divine intervention
or however you want to
characterize it), which means it is
a great equalizer. This is a game
where a kid has the same chance
of winning as their parents, older
siblings, grandparents, babysitters
or whoever. Children are not going
to be interested in playing a game
they cannot win, which is why
"Candy Land" is where they begin instead of "Monopoly" or
"Trivial Pursuit."

Third, the game teaches the basic skills of board games.
The hardest lesson kid have to learn with this game is
to...take turns. Yes, this might be one of the first times
in their young lives when kids are confronted with the
regiment of structure that will afflict them the rest of
their lives. But from board games like "Candy Land"
to sports like baseball, structure and rules are a basic
consideration. Strategy and tactics come later, but
learning to take turns comes first (and I could argue
is a basic lesson in civil behavior).
Therefore, I would respectfully submit that
"Candy Land" remains the ideal choice for the first
board game you play with your children. Just pick a
card, move to the appropriate square, and proceed
to have a great life. You can check out this Candy
Land and 106 other Candy Land results by checking

Connect 4

A Wonderful Game for Pattern Building

By A Customer

Despite the recommended age, my
daughter started playing Connect-4
when she was 4. By the time she was
5 she could beat most adults. Now, at
6, she can beat me about half the time.
She started with just a strategy for
winning. Then she learned how to fight
someone else's strategy, but lost her
offensive moves. Finally she
graduated to clever offense and
anticipating my moves. She's learned
to see groups, to see geometric patterns that rotate, to think
several steps ahead. It's that time dimension that's really
given her the edge.

What's particularly effective about the game is that the rules
are so simple that she can concentrate on the content of the
game.

My only complaint is that after hundreds of playings the plastic
slider at the bottom has become a bit loose, and several
complex games came to an abrupt finale when the checkers
were released unintentionally under the weight. You can
check out Connect 4 and 86 other Connect 4 games by
clicking Connect 4 above.

Almost all children, especially boys, know all about Transformers and the new movie in which they appear, Revenge of the Fallen. Boys want Transformers more than anything else, so we added a Transformer selection to our site. Here are the most popular, sought-after, Transformer-related items:

TRANSFORMERS Movie 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Leader - OPTIMUS PRIME

Ages: 5 & Up

With the destruction of MEGATRON, OPTIMUS PRIME thought that he was finally, after millions of years, at peace. Little did he know that the escape of STARSCREAM would draw dozens of new DECEPTICONS to Earth. The desire that burns brightest in his Spark is that the war will soon end. He is determined to see that end come, and so he works with his human comrades and the other AUTOBOTS to hunt the DECEPTICONS that have come to Earth, and destroy them, one by one. Prepare for battle with this AUTOBOT leader by your side! In robot mode, this mighty warrior features electronic speech and light-up eyes and chest that are sure to discourage enemy attackers!

Ages: 5 & Up

The moment his sensor net registered MEGATRON going offline, STARSCREAM knew the battle was over, and the AllSpark lost. He converted to vehicle mode and boosted for outer space, hoping to buy enough time to rally the DECEPTICON survivors. Returning from CYBERTRON bearing the marks won during his reign over the DECEPTICON army, he is focused on conquest. With a new army behind him, he has the strength to pursue his own goals, and perhaps, when the time is right, bring MEGATRON back. Prepare to do battle -- DECEPTICON style!

DEMOLISHOR isn't very bright, but he knows when to fight, and when to run and hide. Arriving on Earth to find MEGATRON destroyed, hiding seemed like the best option. Since then, he's taken a few smaller DECEPTICONS under his protection, and built quite a little community. It hasn't been easy, hiding among the humans that creep like a disease over this planet, but he and his companions are content to wait until a new DECEPTICON leader emerges to guide them back to glory. Prepare to do battle -- DECEPTICON style! Get in gear with this awesome figure! Featuring MECH ALIVE GEARING spinning gears in robot mode, this bold-looking bad guy is ready to "dig" in and fight!
