Pulse Kick-n-Go Scooter
The Pulse Kick and Go Scooter is an old favorite which has made a comeback. The Pulse Kick and Go Scooter is an eco-friendly way to exercise while being lots of fun too. My first impression of the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter was that it looks really cool! The second thought that crossed my mind was the bigger-than-expected size. I guess I've got used to seeing the smaller Razor scooters, so the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter seemed large to me.

Find out what the fuss is all about in this review of the Yackle Ball.

Newborn Baby Alive Sip 'n Snooze Doll
The Baby Alive Newborn Sip-n-Snooze doll does just what the name implies. It "drinks" from a bottle and then, when you twist the bottle, the doll closes its eyes. Initially, it's really cute to do the opening and closing thing. After a while, it gets boring because that's basically all this Baby Alive newborn doll can do. However, I must add that from my little daughter's point of view, the Baby Alive doll was a big hit. She seems to have taken quite a fancy to this little doll.
Martian Matter Alien Maker
I really liked the Martian Matter Alien Matter primarily because of two reasons. One, it's hard to find a good craft kit which boys feel isn't too sissy to play with. Two, it is really well organized and the materials and pieces tuck away nicely within the main holding container. Most importantly, the kids had a great time playing with this nifty alien maker and didn't want to stop.

ActiviTot Baby Gym from Tiny Love - Tropical Isle Theme

Tiny Love has rightly labeled it as a developmental baby gym as it promotes gross motor skills, fine motor skills, object permanence, cognition with emphasis on cause and effect, language and even EQ! I loved the special pillow that is designed for baby’s tummy time. The baby gym promotes healthy development of baby's neck and shoulders.
