HIT WITH ADY, WILL, AND JACK.
>> I LIKE THE NOISES, THAT’S
WHAT MAKES IT MORE LIFE LIKE.
>> THE CHILD COSTS $60 AND MOM
SARAH THINKS HE IS WORTH THE
MONEY.
I EXPECTED THEM TO LIKE IT BUT
IT WAS BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED.
IT WAS ADORABLE AND EVERYBODY
LIKED IT.
AND OUR 4-YEAR-OLD ACTUALLY FELL
ASLEEP WITH IT.

BEYBLADES ARE POPULAR, YOU PULL
THE LEVER, THEY DROP AND SPIN.

ABOUT WATCHING THE PUPPY PAW ITS
WAY OUT OF THE BOX.

THE SKYROCKET REAL COOKING
CHOCOLATE PEN IS SUPPOSED TO BE
PART OF AN ART PROJECT BAKING
TOOL, WRITE WORDS, DRAW DESIGNS,
FILL IN MOLDS.
IS IT WORTH THE $30 PRICE TAG?
THE KIDS REACTION REALLY SAYS IT
ALL.

EASILY.
IT DIDN’T LET US WRITE STRAIGHT
AND THE DESIGNS JUST DIDN’T
REALLY TURN OUT SLOPPY, IT

A BIG HIT.
THE $60 CAMERA COMES WITH A
GREEN SCREEN.

CHASING YOU.
>> AND ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS TO
CREATE PICTURES AND VIDEOS.
>> THE CAMERA WAS REALLY COOL.
YOU GOT THE GREEN SCREEN, THE
ONLY THING I DIDN’T REALLY READ
THE PACKAGING BUT YOU NEEDED AN
SD CHIP LIKE ANY REGULAR CAMERA.
BUT I THINK IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE
THAT ON HAND, YOUR KID WILL BE
UPSET ON CHRISTMAS MORNING.
>> I DON’T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT
THIS.
>> THE GOT TO GO FLAMINGO.
YOU FEED HIM THEN WHEN HE STARTS TO SING, YEAH IT GOES POTTY.

TO HEAR FROM THE TOY EXPERTS
THEMSELVES, PEOPLE WORKING HERE

THE PANDEMIC, BUT GAMES AND
DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN POPULAR NOT ONLY WITH KIDS
BUT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING
ABOUT TOYS HAVING A TWO AND A
HALF-YEAR-OLD, I LEARNED SO MUCH
FROM THESE PEOPLE AND YOU’LL SEE
IT TONIGHT AT 11:00.
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
KIMBERLY, BUT THAT POOPING
FLAMINGO IS NOT MAKING ITS WAY
INTO MY HOUSE.
>> I THINK THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE
I’M TRYING TO WORK WITH BASIL ON
HIS POTTY TRAINING RIGHT NOW.

SEES THE FLAMINGO GOING TO THE
POTTY.
I DON’T KNOW, IT’S DIFFERENT.

YOU GET AN M&M, I DON’T NEED
ANYTHING ELSE POOPING IN MYSELF.
