• Boom Bat Makes Every Hit Feel Like a Grand Slam

  Chunky enough for 3-year-old fingers to grip like a pro, the Boom Bat delivers a resounding, bassy "BOOM!" with every hit (thanks to its drum-head-style surface), ensuring that even if your kids can't knock one out of the park, they can at least get the attention of everyone in the neighborhood. $14.99 from Target.

• 7 Days of Outdoor Toys: Jump-o-Lene Inflatable Trampoline

  Most people I meet can neatly be categorized into Winnie the Pooh personality types. Though we have a slow and complaining Eeyore or two, most of my family are Tiggers. Because we seek out toys that appeal to our bouncy, trouncy fun-fun-fun natures, the Jump-o-Lene inflatable trampoline is on our wishlist. Read More...

• Start Training for the Next EuroCup with a Tokidoki-Mikasa Soccer Ball

  Italian artist Simone Legno collaborates with all sorts of companies to get Tokidoki, his interpretation of Japanese pop culture, out in the world. And collectors are buying it, from his bag lines with LeSport Sac, the cosmetics line with SmashBox to the various products with Hello Kitty. For the sportier set, Tokidoki recently released a limited-edition soccer ball with Mikasa. Only 1,000 balls were made, all of which meet FIFA regulations and are covered with various skull, star and heart designs. Ooh and aah at it’s cuteness, but the $150 price tag may discourage kicking that Tokidoki-Mikasa creation around in the yard.

• 7 Days of Outdoor Fun: Throw & Catch Ball by Crocodile Creek

  When you’re letting your chickens out of the coup to go free-range, they only need one toy: a ball. A ball, especially a non-sport-specific type, offers plenty of outdoor entertainment for just a little money ($8.49 for the 7-inch size). The Throw & Catch Ball says kids should, well, throw and catch, but they can play plenty of other games or hatch their own. I suggest any sort of kicking game because nothing makes greater boing-oing-oing sounds than a rubber playground ball. In my household, “who can kick the furtherest?” and “who can kick the highest?” are popular. Also available in other colors and sizes.

• Don't Hit the Water Without Your Waboba This Summer

  Equal parts skipping stone and Nerf-style hand ball, the Waboba (I just love saying that) is a Lycra-coated polyurethane wonder that bounces across the water's surface like a meth-crazed Jesus lizard -- which, along with the fact that you probably don't want to take one in the face, explains why it's not recommended for kids under age 3. For older kids, though, it'd be an ideal toy for the beach or pool this summer... Read More...

• Babal More Fun When Shaken, Not Stirred

  The red/green color combination of the Babal may have you craving a martini, but kids will enjoy the different play possibilities this soft, light ball within a ball presents. Made from recyclable, coated polyurethane foam, the big (7") and small (3") Babal pieces fit into, stack atop and bounce off each other, and though you can buy just one, the options for play would seem to increase as you add more. (The red/green olive, for instance, is the result of two different sets' pairing.) $18 at Creative Kidstuff.  Posted Mar 27 2008, 10:02 AM by Aaron Burgess with | with no comments Filed under: Toys, balls, creative play, babal, swiss toys
