Concepts.

1) Banana zipper back pack -- Opens up like a real banana ...but u can put things inside.

2) Banana balarina -- Opens up like a banana and the yellow banana ballerina spins when u turn the bottom.

3) Make shift pond -- blows up like a kiddie pool. Inside are magnetic fish the float underwater but only abit of the bottom. Also included inside are other various underwater things (lost boots, cans, toxic waste all magnetic) A fishing rod with a magnetic worm is used to fish out the fish. U cant see the bottom because the water is dark and there are lilly pads and green water algea on top.

4) Squishy fish -- a fish shaped water ballon. Hard to hold on to. Object of the game is to throw it around like a hot potatoe and see who drops it first.

5) Life Size fire truck with water hose. A pedal power fire truck with a real water hose that squirts when pumped like a water gun. Good for summer water games.

6) Goo Goo Pod/ Pre-Pod -- An ipod for infants. One large button to play/stop lullaby music. Safe to chew on. Battery powered. Screen has a picture that moves when u turn the nob on top. Comes with baby headphones that fit snugly around baby's head. Headphones are warm and soft.

7) Paper Shape cutter-- Insert paper into a cutting board with lots of different buttons on top. Each button represents a different shape. Press a button ontop of the bin. The machine cuts the paper into the shape desired. Different boards cut differrent shapes. (eg: army shapes, town shapes, shopping mall shapes...) The shapes can be folded on the bottom and stand up straight on a flat surface. The user can then colour their own paper shapes and create their own enviorments.

8) Talking ball -- A ball that makes sounds when u kick it. It says phrases like "ouch, hey you, that hurt, play nice". For violent kids. Or encouraging phrases like "nice shot, good try, great form.." for sport training.

9) little teddy cards -- A collection of small soft teddybears that have all the card suits on their bellies. They can sit up facing the user so that the opponent doesnt see the suit. Or lay face down in the drawing pile. Kids can learn card games using these teddy bears.

10) Kid Credit card. -- A digital card that allows a kid to earn points for completing various tasks. The parants can varrify activities such as homework completion, chores, etc...and the kid can earn points on his card. After a certain amount of points, the kid can exchange points for other toys. A small version of the ATM machine is placed in the childs room for the kid to check his earnings.

Hi Marie,I really like the
kid credit card, how you can
use points. It is great for both
parents and kids, so I think it is
useful. Like If i were a kid, I would definatly want one of those.
