Novelty and Interactive Toys

Children of the 90’s, rejoice! Bandai is re-introducing the Original Tamagotchi to our Tamagotchi deprived hands. I remember begging my mother for a Tamagotchi when I first started High School, I was a rebel! I loved toys then, and I love them now. I didn’t care! I rocked my Tamagotchi on my Jansport loop like I was hot stuff, and took care of my pet and showed everyone his poop; yes, this was the original poop emoji on a DOT Matrix screen. This 2018 version is not a re-do, but more a reboot, and will include 16 different styles and will run exactly like the original Tamagotchi from 1997, although the Japanese version was released a bit before the US release. Your kiddo eight years and up will love this, and for $19.99, it’s the perfect addition to a gift for the holidays, to round out a birthday gift, or just because you know your loved one loves picking up digital poop. The Original Tamagotchi will be enjoyed for its entertaining tasks to nurture your little blob to descriptive pet.

A child’s first two years of life is so important when it comes to language that 100 Word books are necessary, but when you have a kiddo that literally eats through their books and you’ve gone through two 100 Word Books already it gets to be kind of expensive to support his book-eating habit. When I saw Learning Friends 100 Words Book by LeapFrog at The Toy Insider’s HoliDAY of Play event, I went ballistic. Not only does it talk, teach, sing, read, explain, and is bi-lingual (English and Spanish), the price point is fantastic. My son is one and loves to pretend to read already, and he loves this book so much. You don’t always have to keep it powered on, which is what I do, I let him hear the words in my voice, then I turn it on for him to explore. With options for reading, identification, songs and even animal sounds, this immersive 100 Words book will be sure to add plenty of new words and sounds to your toddler’s vocabulary.
