toys

It's not really a mobility scooter: it's the Ringbo Riding Robot.

Demonstrated at the Koreannovation show in New York last week.

The riding robot is aimed it 2-3 year olds. It takes 6-8 hours to charge and then runs for 1 hour.

Just what our kids need to avoid that terribly old-fashioned practice of walking.

How do you eat constructively?

Who knows and who really cares?

However we do know one thing.

The set of toy scales that come with a certain Barbie doll only go up to 110 lbs.

I'm all for incidental exercise - but sometimes we are clutching at straws. Researchers have given kids heavier toys to play with - and measured their heart rates and calories burned.

Perhaps we can add a new entry into all those calories burned tables: "Playing with blocks - 5 Calories".

Doh Boy is on a mission. His mission is to put "real bread back on our children’s plates". Doh Boy is actually a toy - a model of a well-padded lad - from UK based clothes retailer Howies (via Cool Hunting)

So what is the deal about "real bread"?

No other toy or brand name provokes such a response. According to research undertaken by the University of Bath - Barbie dolls are the most hated of toys. Scalping, decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving - such is the fate of most Barbie dolls.
