Recently I was introduced to the Plasma Car at a friend’s house. I had to beg my four year-old to get off…and give me a try. And once I did, she had to beg me to get off. I’m not the only one. At the ABC Kids show in Las Vegas a few months ago, CMP...

Ever since we got a Nintendo Wii, my kids have been hooked on bowling. Okay, try completely obsessed. But I figured instead of having them beg to play the virtual version every day, they could do the real thing right at home with the retro pin bowling set from Little...

If I had a million dollars, as that song goes, I think I would add this Mini Cooper ride-on toy to my kids’ holiday gift list. While I haven’t tried it out personally, my kids would zip around the living room in that hot little car in a minute. Come to...
