I love how they are "mom-tested" and not "parent-tested."

Frankly, I'd rather them be kid tested!

The year that Tickle me Elmo came out there was a dizzy dryer thing that we got my nephews. It had nerf "clothes" and you were supposed to throw the clothes in the dryer, if your clothes stayed in, you won the game. Well, the boys played with the Elmo once and went to the dryer and played with it for hours! My BIL was pissed because he was on Tickle Me Elmo watch for months before Christmas.

We got the idea for dizzy dryer from a local news article that had a bunch of kids playing with all of the "top toys." Out of all the toys there, it was played with the most out of all toys available.

I think my kids would like the water experiment thing and the family matters game.
