• Ode to a Wheely Bug: The Coolest Critter on the Planet

  Cute as a button; As enjoyable as a hug; No child should go without a ride-on Wheely Bug! The bee is bright and cheery; The lady bug is extra-sweet; The cow, oh my goodness, is an absolute treat! Scoot, spin and roll all over the house; And thanks to special wheels, it’s as quiet as a mouse! Read More...

• Meet Spike, Your Very Own Pet Dinosaur

  Fact: Boys love dinosaurs. Fact: Boys love remote control. Fact: Boys love robots. Fisher-Price’s Imaginext, Spike the Ultra Dinosaur is all three.

• Very Big Toys: Razor PowerWing Three-Wheeler

  In anticipation of the holidays, Razor rolled out its newest three-wheeler, the PowerWing, this week at Toy Wishes Preview 2008 in New York.

After the jump: We break down the PowerWing's features and dig up some amateur video footage of PowerWing tricks that'll have your head -- and wheels -- spinning. Read More...

• ViewMaster Enters Previous Century Via Projection, Infrared Remote

  When I was a kid, ViewMaster's 3D reels were the ultimate in high-tech kiddie gadgets. Now, of course, even ViewMaster's talking and singing "Super Sounds" reels are positively low-tech, but with the ViewMaster Super Sounds Projector ($22.99 at Amazon.com), you can take the classic toy reasonably close to this century, complete with projection imagery and infrared remote.

• Droolworthy: Crayola Beginnings for Babies and Toddlers

  If you've ever tried to color with babies or toddlers, you've no doubt spent more time keeping crayons and paints away from open mouths than you have actually creating art, and even if your kids aren't prone to gobbling writing implements, you know how frustrating it can be for little hands to manipulate the things.
