Getting your kids to establish a healthy sleeping pattern can be quite challenging in this day and age, especially with so many distractions around to keep them awake such as modern toys, the iPod, handheld consoles and TV programs. You as an adult too might play a role here in influencing your child to sleep late because you have a similar pattern, but enter the GroClock to help you train your kids when it comes to sleeping.
Ten Person Water Totter
If you happen to be part of a really, really large family, and each time during the holiday season your uncles, aunts, siblings, nephews and nieces will congregate at your home due to this activity being a family tradition, why not offer something different to keep the little ones entertained this time around with the Ten Person Water Totter instead of letting them sit through yet another round of watching your wedding video while you adults sit down and talk elsewhere?

This $34.95 purchase intends to be the perfect hide and seek companion for your little one.
Waboba Street Ball
The weather is getting better and better for some outdoor fun with your kids, so you might want to take into consideration purchases that are geared towards the outdoors instead of letting little Johnny get cooped up all day long in front of the video game console. Enter the Waboba Street Ball, where this £5.99 purchase looks very simple in its bright colors, but since it is covered in symmetrical ridges and troughs, there is virtually no way to predict where it will bounce upon contact with the floor.
Perplexus 3D Game Maze – Kill Time, Not your Kids
I need to take a trip to North Carolina in a few weeks, and from NYC, we’re talking just under 10 hours in the car. Keeping my kid entertained for a 20 minute trip to the mall is a little tough, 10 hours is going to be insane.There are only so many times “I spy with my little eye…” can keep ANY kid entertained and let’s face it by the 5th time I have to guess “is it an indicator light on the dashboard?” I just want to kill myself. To keep the “are we there yet” questions to a minimum, PlaSmart Inc. suggests that parents can keep their kids occupied and entertained while on the road with their new Perplexus 3D game maze challenge.

Children’s Water Ski Trainer
Have you read the Water Babies? For those of you who grew up during the last decade of the previous century, there is a chance that you might have come across that tome in your reading list, but the chances of that happening is pretty slim, I do admit. Guess you can more or less make a guesstimate of my age by me bringing up the Water Babies, but there is a reason to this method of madness – after all, I’m trying to talk about the Children’s Water Ski Trainer here.

Cepia LLC, the makers of everybody’s favorite ZhuZhu Pets, have taken the age old game of marbles and brought it into the new millenium.

5″ Angry Birds Plush with Sound
Now this is one cash cow – or should I say, cash bird, that needs to be milked for all it is worth while still possible? I’m talking about the Angry Birds franchise, where you will now be able to carry those pesky avian friends in the comfort of your bosom while letting out their signature sound – sans the creaking of the catapult, of course.
Nerf Dart Tag 2 Player Set
The sun is shining brightly on the outside, and just what the heck are you doing sitting all cooped up in your living room, keeping your fingers crossed that the PlayStation Network connection would be restored so that you can get back to your game of Portal 2? Why not take a good look around you, and bring your kid (or little brother) outside to have some time of bonding and fun?
Zing Zcurve Launcher
Love playing cowboys and Indians with your kids? Of course, you might have the edge in terms of holding a gun as a cowboy, but the Indian is more that ready to take on any challenge that comes his way, never mind the fact that he knows the land like the back of his hand and is a mean shot with his crossbow. Enter the Zing Zcurve Launcher, a £19.99 purchase that will bring some technology to the world of archery.
Zyclone Zing Ring Blaster
If you want to spend more time outdoors instead of indoors this coming summer, you’d do your best to be prepared for the situation – and in this case, we’re talking about having some fun with the Zyclone Zing Ring Blaster right in your garden or backyard.
18 Foot Splashing Soaker Slide
No idea on what to do with your back yard that is currently home to plenty of weeds, with some dog poop randomly deposited because Fido has a free reign of the area? You might want to take stock of the situation with the 18 Foot Splashing Soaker Slide then, as this inflatable water slide will be able to give your kids (as well as their friends in the neighborhood) a time of their lives, soaking them with a fusillade of water from a built-in water squirter.
Panini HRX video trading card announced
Remember the name Panini? I certainly do with fondness, since during my younger days, there was this sticker book that required me to buy plenty of loose packs of stickers, hoping that they would be enough for me to complete my collection. Sure, I even went hungry at times to purchase more stickers instead of food, much to the chagrin of my parents. Guess Panini has taken a leap into the 21st century with their Panini HRX video trading cards.
GoLiveCampus.com – YouTube at School?
My daughter is only 8 and she came home from school the other day asking if she could get on the computer and I allowed it. In the 2 minutes it took for me to check on what she was looking for, she had hit YouTube.com and was watching (and dancing to) a suggestive rap video, it seems she learned about YouTube at school, from her music teacher. Great.
Backyard Helitotter for your kids this summer
Summer is a time where kids go out to play, although more and more children these days tend to stay cooped up in the confines of their homes simply because of the latest hit title on the PS3 or Xbox 360. Well, before they are addicted to video game consoles, you might want to do your part in making sure they love the outdoors, by starting with the Backyard Helitotter.
