Star Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer
Put on this helmet and amplify and change your voice to that of a Clone Trooper! The full helmet is large enough to fight boys of any age and turns them into members of the Grand Army of the Republic. The helmet also speaks signature phrases from the TV show.
Rescue Pals Swim To Me Puppy
It will be a lot easier to get your little one into the bath when Rescue Pals Swim To Me Puppy is on the scene. With his own swimming goggles and puppy-sized towel, Swim To Me Puppy makes bath time lots of fun. When on dry land, he walks!
FurReal Biscuit, My Lovin' Pup
FurReal Biscuit, My Lovin' Pup looks and acts like a real puppy! At about two feet tall, he barks, does tricks and plays. His golden fur and happy puppy face is lifelike. This is probably the most lifelike toy puppy to date, and your child will love playing with him.
Elmo Live
If your youngster loves Elmo, he'll love Elmo Live. Elmo Live moves his mouth just like a Muppet when he talks. He sings, jokes, tells stories. He waves his arms and even crosses his legs. His head even moves back and forth when he talks and sings. He's Elmo Live!
Catcha Beast
Catcha Beast is a fun, hand held electronic game from Japan. The player must move in a 360° circle so that the device can detect invisible beasts. Once detected, the player has to catch and reel the beast in (careful, the beast fights back). Captured beasts can be trained to help find and catch more beasts in this challenging game.
Bakugan Starter Pack
The Bakugan warriors are in a battle to determine the fate of the galaxy. In this game of strategy, well place gate cards can help players win or lose when they roll their warriors spheres across the cards to be brought to life for battle.
Classic Board Games - Life, Monopoly, Risk, Clue and others
If you've forgotten how much fun it is to play one of the classic board games, give one to a favorite boy for Christmas this year and hope that he invites you to play. Kids still love the good, old-fashioned board game, and love challenging their friends and families to a battle on the board!

Here's a fully functioning radio controlled car that completely defies gravity. It drives on the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling! Any smooth surface is fair game. Boys of all ages will have fun with this.
Spyke Robot
Spyke is for the older boy, and a great "toy" for sure. Spyke Robot is about one foot tall and is a bunch of things all at once - a wireless VOIP phone, a webcam, an MP3 player, and a motion detector. Great for any kid who is fascinated with electronics and robots.

Best Playmobil Toys For Christmas 2010
Playmobil has been around in the toy market for the last 35 years. This year we take a look at the best of these highly detailed playsets for Christmas and beyond.
Best Playmobil Toys For Christmas 2010
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Inger_Fountain]Inger Fountain
Playmobil is a brand of children's toys that began some 35 years ago in Germany. The Playmobil system is based around small plastic figures, commonly known as Klickies, that stand about three inches tall and interact with accessories and playsets from a range of themes.
The sets come in a variety of sizes, form small one figure sets to huge playsets that come with three or more figures and a bucket load of accessories. While there are dozens of Playmobil toys on the market at the moment we take a look at the best for Christmas this year.
The top of the list would have to be the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid (Set 4246). It's a multilevel playset that opens up so kids can play inside and there are heaps of hidden spaces and accessories to make this a toy that will entertain kids and also educate them about Egyptian history.
The set comes with four figures including a grave robber (the poor fellow) who is obviously the target for all the traps the set includes. The pyramid also comes with a sarcophagus and numerous other bits of treasure. There are smaller accessory sets to accompany the pyramid so you can extend play gradually over a few birthdays.
Another large set that is sure to please kids is the Playmobil Wildlife Care Station (Set 4826). Like the pyramid, this is the centrepiece of a larger collection of sets so there is room for growth if you r kids enjoy this one. The Wildlife Care station is a theme set in the African Savannah and comes with a two storey wooden building with offices upstairs and animal pens downstairs.
The set comes with baby animals (zebra, rhino, giraffe, leopard and monkey), two ranger figures, enclosure and a plethora of accessories to help care for the animals. As mentioned there are other sets in this series, both large and small, and they offer additional play areas and animals.
The Playmobil Pony Ranch Horse Farm (set 4190) is another favourite especially for kids who love horses. The set comes with comes with three figures, two horses, a pony, kiosk and heaps of accessories including a fenced area for riding and a fully equipped stables.
It's an amazingly appealing and detailed toy and kids can enact just about any horse-related story with the amount of thought gone into its design. As with most of the larger Playmobil sets this is the centrepiece for a larger collection and if it proves successful in your home there is room for expansion with other similarly themed sets.
Playmobil has so many more toys to offer kids this Christmas and with their commitment to quality (and the fact their toys aren't manufactured in China) you can ensure kids be enjoying them for years.
Inger loves stories and loves to write. As a librarian in a previous life she also has an insatiable thirst for general knowledge.

Christmas Plush Toys and History of the Doll
Have you ever wondered what Christmas might be like without Christmas plush toys? No more teddy bears dressed up to look like Santa Clause? No more reindeer with red, 'shiny' noses? No more penguins with bright red hats and scarves? Long before soft toys ever became an idea, let alone were dressed up to commemorate Christmas, dolls, as playthings, had already well established themselves in history as part of the core group of long-standing toys.
Christmas Plush Toys and History of the Doll

Have you ever wondered what Christmas might be like without Christmas plush toys? No more teddy bears dressed up to look like Santa Clause? No more reindeer with red, 'shiny' noses? No more penguins with bright red hats and scarves? It very well might become a 'dismal' holiday, especially for those that particularly look forward to the vast array of Christmas stuffed animals that become available at this time of the year. The holiday would, of course, still go on, with or without the festive soft toys, but let's hope it never gets to that.
Long before soft toys ever became an idea, let alone were dressed up to commemorate Christmas, dolls, as playthings, had already well established themselves in history as part of the core group of long-standing toys. There have been disagreements over the years as to the purpose of the earliest dolls; Max Von Boehn, the German cultural historian, wrote in 1929 that they were "originally made and used primarily as votive objects for worship;" Constance Eileen King, the chronicler of the history of dolls, maintains that "given children's ability to mimic adult activities, they would have made dolls to play with, copying the idol figures." King goes on to say that the dolls made in Egypt were nowhere near as complex looking as the ones made to look like human images used for religious offerings or decoration and because of this differentiation in both looks and the way in which they were made, they must be defined as things to play with. It is true, however, that dolls have in fact been made to represent religious icons - the Virgin Mary and other biblical figures, for example. When churches during the English Reformation were raided in the 16th century, small wax figures that were left behind were taken by children to play with.
In order to get an idea of what some ancient dolls might have looked like, we need only to look at some recent examples of some of them; in the 19th century, dolls that were made in the Sudan and Angola, looked very much like those that were made some 4,000 years earlier and still others that continue to be made today. These dolls were fashioned out of sticks which had fabric wrapped around them like clothing and had heads made of wax or rags that had been wound, and string for hair. There were others that had bodies made from dried husks of maize. There has also been a long standing tradition throughout the world, in making dolls from plaited dried leaves. The ancient Egyptians had dolls which were made with limbs that moved and were placed with bodies in their graves so they would accompany them into the afterlife. There were also dolls during this same period that were made of linen or wood and were stuffed with papyrus leaves. They also had embroidered faces and wore clothes that could be changed.
Before dolls ever became mass produced, they were made from a variety of materials including bone, wooden spoons, loofah, cloth, pegs, and just about anything else that could be found in the environment. Both the painting and weaving of dried leaves and grasses continues to be a worldwide craft in which dolls are still made. Pam leaves are dried in Indonesia and made into cream-colored dolls and then they are painted in bright colors. In England, in 1901, a child living in East End London made a doll from a shoe with the sole acting as the face. The body was made up from the rest of the shoe and was then wrapped in shabby cloth. For the eyes, nose, and mouth, nails were hammered into the heel. Tacks were attached to the sole to make a hairline and finally, long thin arms hung down at the dolls side.
It wasn't until around 1900, when the idea for soft dolls was at its beginning stages. While Käthe Kruse, a trained actor in Berlin who married a sculptor, was changing the very look of dolls, in 1894, Margarete Steiff, the creator of the first teddy bear, was also making dolls made of felt in Giengen, Germany, from cut-off felt material from a factory. A range of dolls were produced including girls and soldiers and they had flat feet so they could stand up. Later on the Steiff company produced four different size hedgehogs which had human characteristics, called Micki and Mecki. They had rubber hedgehog-like heads, faces that smiled, and felt, human-like bodies.
It's hard to say where Christmas plush toys would have been had Margarete Steiff not invented that first bear. Given the history of dolls, it's quite likely someone would have come up with the idea for a soft toy at some point in history. And, since dolls are typically used for dress-up, with their clothes changing as often as their human owner can manage it, that very idea wouldn't have been such a far-reaching one for plush toys. It would have only been a matter of time until Christmas plush toys began to resemble all things representing the holiday, especially Santa Clause. And, whether or not you have a particular interest in Christmas plush toys, they're nothing if not something different to have around during the holidays.

It is true, however, that dolls have in fact been made to represent religious icons - the Virgin Mary and other biblical figures, for example. When churches during the English Reformation were raided in the 16th century, small wax figures that were left behind were taken by children to play with.
In order to get an idea of what some ancient dolls might have looked like, we need only to look at some recent examples of some of them; in the 19th century, dolls that were made in the Sudan and Angola, looked very much like those that were made some 4,000 years earlier and still others that continue to be made today. These dolls were fashioned out of sticks which had fabric wrapped around them like clothing and had heads made of wax or rags that had been wound, and string for hair. There were others that had bodies made from dried husks of maize. There has also been a long standing tradition throughout the world, in making dolls from plaited dried leaves. The ancient Egyptians had dolls which were made with limbs that moved and were placed with bodies in their graves so they would accompany them into the afterlife. There were also dolls during this same period that were made of linen or wood and were stuffed with papyrus leaves. They also had embroidered faces and wore clothes that could be changed.
Before dolls ever became mass produced, they were made from a variety of materials including bone, wooden spoons, loofah, cloth, pegs, and just about anything else that could be found in the environment. Both the painting and weaving of dried leaves and grasses continues to be a worldwide craft in which dolls are still made. Pam leaves are dried in Indonesia and made into cream-colored dolls and then they are painted in bright colors. In England, in 1901, a child living in East End London made a doll from a shoe with the sole acting as the face. The body was made up from the rest of the shoe and was then wrapped in shabby cloth. For the eyes, nose, and mouth, nails were hammered into the heel. Tacks were attached to the sole to make a hairline and finally, long thin arms hung down at the dolls side.
It wasn't until around 1900, when the idea for soft dolls was at its beginning stages. While Käthe Kruse, a trained actor in Berlin who married a sculptor, was changing the very look of dolls, in 1894, Margarete Steiff, the creator of the first teddy bear, was also making dolls made of felt in Giengen, Germany, from cut-off felt material from a factory. A range of dolls were produced including girls and soldiers and they had flat feet so they could stand up. Later on the Steiff company produced four different size hedgehogs which had human characteristics, called Micki and Mecki. They had rubber hedgehog-like heads, faces that smiled, and felt, human-like bodies.
It's hard to say where Christmas plush toys would have been had Margarete Steiff not invented that first bear. Given the history of dolls, it's quite likely someone would have come up with the idea for a soft toy at some point in history. And, since dolls are typically used for dress-up, with their clothes changing as often as their human owner can manage it, that very idea wouldn't have been such a far-reaching one for plush toys. It would have only been a matter of time until Christmas plush toys began to resemble all things representing the holiday, especially Santa Clause. And, whether or not you have a particular interest in Christmas plush toys, they're nothing if not something different to have around during the holidays.

Popular Christmas Toys Versus Less Expensive Toys - Need Some Ideas to Keep Costs Down?
Not enough money for those popular Christmas toys this year? Just need some ideas for something less expensive? Here are a few ideas you can try in order to keep costs down this year.
Popular Christmas Toys Versus Less Expensive Toys - Need Some Ideas to Keep Costs Down?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Anabelle_J_Paisley]Anabelle J Paisley
Well the season is upon us and it's about time to see long lines forming around 4 a.m., lines full of weary parents trying to find the latest gadget for their kids, those popular Christmas toys that everyone and their brother is asking for this year.
Will you be one of these parents, dashing out before the sun is up to wait in a long line just to be allowed to hand over large amounts of money for a Nintendo Wii or the latest and greatest toy or game? Or would you rather explain to your kids that this year, with many families suffering due to the economy, you would like to tone it down a bit?
Let's face it, the kids for the most part, unless they are a little older, are not going to understand. But there are some lower-cost alternatives if you set your mind to the task. There are lots of things your kids can receive at Christmas that will be a big hit and also not cost nearly as much as the popular Christmas toys that may or may not be worth the money anyway.
If your child loves crafts you can buy them a kit from the craft store. There are lots to choose from, whether they enjoy painting, beads, sculpting, or woodworking. Most kits can be purchased relatively inexpensively and will provide many many hours of enjoyment, possibly for many years to come. And something like working with clay is very cost effective because there really aren't any extremely costly things to buy, and you can even have your pieces fired at a local shop if there is one near you. This is usually only around 10 or 15 dollars to have this done.
Model kits are also very entertaining and, for the hours of fun they give, are not very much money at all.
Another idea is the little Hot Wheels cars with the orange track. I remember playing with these when I was a kid and we had so much fun. No, it is not terribly high tech but we sure loved it. We'd spend the better part of a day constructing tracks and having a ball with those little cars.
If your kids are not going to be happy with anything other than the latest and hottest popular Christmas toys, don't worry too much because you can probably find some deals if you keep a close eye out. Try an online auction site like eBay and see if you can find someone who is selling the toy a little cheaper.
