LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Game System
The leader in educational gaming for kids, Leapfrog’s latest learning tablet was an instant success.

Top Toys for Tweens (10-12 years)

LEGO® Master Builder Academy
While Lego introduces new themed sets each season, the idea behind teaching children how to build and use their spatial skills is what keeps the popularity of LEGO going. With LEGO MBA, the creators who design LEGO products have shared their tips and tricks into a special learning handbook and building kit showing kids exactly why and how the pieces go together. As they progress, kids can enroll in the membership program where they’ll receive bi-monthly kits more sophisticated than the next. Soon they’ll be on their way to designing and realizing their own original creations.

Top Toys for Teens

NERF Vortex Nitron
As kids grow into teens, their interests begin to expand beyond the wacky world of toys. But even the most jaded teen can’t resist the new Vortex blaster from Nerf. Featuring rapid-fire technology, this new blaster shoots 20 foam discs in rapid succession at even greater distances than the previous models. The complete automated firing system requires no pumping action and comes complete with an electronic scope with pulsing targeting lights. It’s high-energy fun for ages 8 and up and well past adolescence.
