CMY The Original Cube: An educational and interactive toy that stimulates logical thinking while tiptoeing kids into the exciting world of color mixing.
Review: "The colors are vibrant. I love how the colors mix and change when you move the cube around." — Sandra the Lioness
Educational Globe For Kids: Combines the fun of AR technology with the joy of learning, perfect for sparking their curiosity while enhancing their knowledge about geography, environmental science, culture, and much more.
Review: "I'm a homeschool mom of 10 year old twins and was pleasantly surprised at all the features this globe contained. The boys listened to fact after fact about various animals, places around the globe, inventions etc. I lost count of how many times I heard, "mom did you know..."? Should I admit to how many of those things I didn't know?? Anyway, I appreciated that this was so easy to get started on. We downloaded the app to our ipad 2, created their log ins and they were on their own. There's quizzes and games for them to play, which helps them remember what they heard. Once everything is downloaded wifi isn't required! Personally, I think the globe itself is nice looking on their shelf! Though my boys are at the top of the target age, I see them enjoying this toy for awhile!" — Crdaisy
Star Wars The Mandalorian Grogu Mini Bluetooth Speaker: For budding Jedis to enjoy their favorite tunes on the go, offering over 4 hours of music time on a single charge and an easy connection to any Bluetooth-enabled device for a true wireless stereo experience.

Cat Night Lamp: A perfect bedside companion for kids offering soft, multi-colored illumination, making nighttime routines enjoyable and turning their room into a comforting sanctuary!
Review: " I can’t even deny that I’m a 30 year old woman and bought this for me. It was too cute that I couldn’t resist. It’s super soft, very bright, and has a wide array of colors. I didn’t get the one with the remote as I read that has a 2 hour window. This one goes for hours on my nightstand and I don’t think it is possible that it could make me any happier. For those who actually purchase this for kids, it illuminates the room but softly enough to not be a distraction and keep up a child. I know this because of my little nephew. He adores this just as much as I do. He enjoys poking it since it’s a soft rubbery substance." — thumpybutt
Colorful Kids Origami Kit: Filled with high-quality, double-sided origami folding papers and step-by-step instructions, to unleash children's creativity and turn their free time into an exciting origami crafting adventure.
Review: "I'm a new Nana, and I really haven't spent much time with the new additions to our blended family. So I wanted to get something crafty that wasn't going to make a mess to entertain the kids so the grown ups could play some cards. This kept her busy for a couple of hours. She really enjoyed the colorful paper and the instruction book. It was fun watching her do these. This is a great kit for crafty kids that likes hands on sort of activities. The paper is really good quality and the colors are vibrant." — geekygourmet

Taco vs. Burrito Card Game: Ingeniously created by a 7-year-old, guaranteed to provide endless fun and laughter for all age groups, making it an amazing gift for any occasion.
Review: "We gave our 6 year old son this for Christmas. It was an absolute hit! Easy to learn and easy and fun to play. We finally opened the game tonight and spent about 2 hours playing this game (which if you have a 6/7 year old you know it’s a LONG time). It’s not a long game, that’s just how long we played before it was bedtime. We had to take a break and he ran for a notepad and left me this note. Great game." — Amazon Customer

Review: "My 6 year old loves to use her imagination and build different things so I knew this rover set would be perfect for her! It is also a good way to introduce STEM skills to her in kindergarten and she is also learning fun things like how to build a circuit even at 6 years old! All of the pieces are durable and high quality and I love that these circuit explorer sets can be played with for years to come! The instructions are very easy to follow and although I had to help her a few times, overall she was able to create most of it all by herself! She was so proud of herself and I was too!... This would be the best holiday gift, birthday gift and just to keep them busy learning and having fun toy! It keeps her occupied for HOURS! We can’t wait to purchase more of these awesome sets. Highly recommend!" — JC Mommy

Review: "The glow in the dark Alpaca pop it gets a 5/5 stars. It does exactly what it's meant to, it's pretty good quality compared to the one other pop it my son has. This is of a higher quality, It's thicker and over all feels better in your hands. My son doesn't care for the pop it sounds, but one side of the pop it does make a decent popping sound...I'm glad I took the chance and got it because my son really wanted a glow in the dark pop it and he loves it." — Amazon Customer

Review: "These are great. I was surprised by how much power they have - you can barely even see the darts as they're being shot. You'll have no problem shooting these from one end of the room to the other. In fact, you can probably shoot these from one end of the house to the other! They do take a little bit of strength to cock, but my 7 year old daughter is able to do it with a good amount of effort. Tons of fun. You may want some sort of eye protection with these unless you want a blurry eye for a day or two. Don't ask me how I know..." — Woody B

Very reasonable/affordable price and fun for kids and adults alike!" — baddie.xo

After helping her with the first 2 logic cards, she was able to figure out which cat committed the "crimes" by herself. I love that it makes her really read and comprehend all the words... It helps her think logically and read all the words accurately - and she has fun doing it!! I highly recommend this product." — Peggy
Popdarts Original Game Set: To bring endless fun to your family gatherings and outings with its mix of creativity and challenge, perfect for both indoor and outdoor play, and encouraging healthy competitive spirit.
Review: "I recently came across a video of PopDarts on social media and immediately had to get myself a set. I noticed there’s multiple game sets like this on Amazon, but it’s VERY clear these are the REAL PopDarts and any other ones are fake copycats. Throwing them takes some getting used to, just like any throwing game would, so don’t get discouraged if they don’t stick the first several times! I even found that they have tutorial videos on how to throw. The quality is amazing, and they stick VERY well. I was even able to pick up a bar stool with one stuck to it! 10/10 I will be buying more as they come out with expansion packs and other colors, and I will be telling all my friends about this game!" — Hannah Marie

Review: "We are big fans of STEAM and hands on learning and honestly my husband and I have had just as much fun creating and experimenting with this set as my kids have. I was a little worried about how good the quality of the pieces would be but I am pleasantly surprised with how durable they are. It's good to know that we....um I mean my kids, will be able to use this set over and over again instead of wasting money on one and done STEM projects like a lot of the ones I've purchased over the years...Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and I'll be checking out this brand's other products." — Amy

Happy with my purchase." — Krishna

My granddaughter’s mom wants to purchase another kit for herself! The gift is definitely worth the price. It provides hours of fun!" — Laurel Ann

Great quality for the price and a nice simple and classic design." — Melissa C.
