Every so often a toy comes along that even adults want a chance to play with.  That is Kinetic Sand.  They say its made of 98% sand, but what's the other 2%?  I think its magic.

Remember Madballs and Popples? If you, like us, managed to successfully block out most of your childhood, the answer is a resounding "no"!

Yeah, they've got all of the shiny, blinky, beepy toys, but kids these days don't know what they're missing.  They won't learn to drive on the Tomy Turnin' Turbo or learn to pitch a screaming hissy fit in the aisles of KB Toys then quench their dry throats with a Pepsi Crystal...

Just like opening a present on your birthday only to discover a brightly-haired, gemstone-adorned little Troll Doll that you didn't want or ask for, DreamWorks is gifting us with a Troll Doll movie.

This Christmas you will probably be giving or receiving gifts that require batteries. Do you know which batteries are best for different uses? Do you know which batteries last the longest or are the best value? We have the answers.

Scandinavian Toys"R"Us licensee Top-Toy has taken a new approach to making sure kids get what they really want for Christmas: a fully gender-blind catalog that erases the line between boys' and girls' toys.

It's time to play Santa Clause. You are shopping for your kids or other little ones and you want to make sure the gifts you give are safe. We're gonna help you with that.

Things were a little different when I was little. We played army and used sticks for guns. We made indoor forts out of chairs and blankets. We had a blast with cardboard boxes. We enjoyed one bite each of the treats my sister made in her Easy Bake Oven. Imagine my surprise when I found the stick, the blanket and the Easy Bake Oven in the Toy Hall of Fame.  What will be added to the hall this year?

A 1964 Beatles record player just sold on eBay for $1580.00 and it doesn’t even play records! That didn’t deter collectors in the slightest because the vintage turntable that listed for $9.99 found the high bidder spending the equivalent of what most folks might pay to own a high-definition sound system.
