(SimplyFun $40.00) Good for a rainy day or a fifteen minute after dinner game. It's a marble game played on a "maze" board that allows players to push the marbles forward or sideways. In doing so players try to line up matching colors and take them from the board. Matches can be made horizontally, vertically, but not diagonally. It's easy to learn the rules and less easy to make the matches as the board begins to empty. Players need some dexterity and setting the board up wit

(Hape $99.99) Wake up! Wake up! Fire! Fire! Here's a multi-level firehouse setting for dramatic play with plenty of action. Sound the bell! Hit the button to set the lights flashing on the firehouse. The firefighter doesn't just slide down a pole, the pole is designed to swirl the action figure round and down. See the white triangle hanging on the left side of the building (picture below)? That's the Cool Secret, the best part according to our tester. Pull it and the firehous

Finding just the right distance is a hands-on physics problem to solve and resolve. There are multiple ways this can be arranged. Test it until you get the balls to roll or jump from one track to another. Marked for 4-10, but 4s and 5s will only be able to play with the finished skyway. This will be a better choice for older 6

(American Plastic Toys $24.99 ) Kids are fascinated by gigantic work trucks and this one is a wow-ee truck. With a big sleek white and grey cab and body, the recycling unit in totally appropriate green. It has stickers on the three compartments for paper, plastic, and metal. It rolls on big sturdy wheels and there’s a container on the back-end for loading larger items. Older toddlers and young preschoolers will probably sit on this and ride it foot to the floor. It really is

(Alex $9.99 ) This may be just a short-lived novelty or turn into a creative exercise in ‘where can I hook this Slinky up next?’ Kids will need some adult help in securing the clamp high on a table, door, or rail on a staircase. Once the Slinky is hanging free the little car’s wheels are placed on the Slinky and watch it twist and turn down, down, down. Buy two and they can race side by side. 5 and up.
