 | Bobbin' Bumblebee Game
(Suggested Retail Price: $17, MEGA Brands)
This game generated a lot of buzz among our kid testers! They loved wielding the paddles to swat at the quiet, motorized bumblebee that flies around the board. The goal: to keep it from bugging your honeycomb — and get it to make a beeline for someone else's instead.

 | A World of LEGO Mosaics
(Suggested Retail Price: $20, LEGO)
Painting by numbers is fun, but creating 3-D stuff with them is even cooler. That's just what this kit lets kids do: It comes with two grids, 598 little bricks, and patterns to build a butterfly, crab, robot, or 6 other things.

 | ClickStart My First Computer
(Suggested Retail Price: $ 60, LeapFrog)
Hook up the console into your TV, and a cute dog will cheer your child through a series of educational games. She'll learn about letters, numbers, and colors, and master some basic computer skills too. The puppy-shaped mouse pad switches to either side of the keyboard so it's comfy for both righties and lefties.

 | My First Kitchen
(Suggested Retail Price: $80, HaPe)
You just may want to renovate your own, once you get a load of how posh this wooden tabletop kitchen is! It comes with fun "groceries," including carrots and bread your child can cut with a toy knife — the slices are held together with Velcro. Yes, it's pricey, but it's so durable, your kids (and even theirs) can play with it for years to come.

 | Smart Cycle
(Suggested Retail Price: $100, Fisher-Price)
Plug this bike into your TV, and select one of the educational video games that pops up. In order to get anywhere in the virtual world onscreen, your child must pedal — and believe us, he will. A brilliant blend of exercise and entertainment — where do we get a mom-size one?
|
 | Froggy Boogie
(Suggested Retail Price: $25, Blue Orange Games)
Your child's memory and color-matching skills will improve by leaps and bounds as he jumps his frog across this game's lily pads. Fun for the whole family, from tadpoles to old toadies.
