toys

Small plastic motorized vehicles can be a source of a lot of fun for kids. Well, kids are not the only ones getting joy out of these toy vehicles. It appears that adults have taken it upon themselves to use them to race against each other in extreme Barbie jeep racing.

This little girl was very excited about her new toy, the Flutterbye Fairy.

An idiot mother in Fort Myers, Florida, is pissed at a local Toys 'R' Us because of a toy it has on its shelves.

The best thing about having male preteen children is getting to play with their toys. Let's be honest, men never actually really grow up. Our toys just get bigger and more expensive. Maybe that's why this Nerf battle courtesy of the YouTube channel RackaRacka really made my day.

Life isn't all fun and games, but maybe it should be.

Most kids say they want all the “tech” gadgets for Christmas this year, anything from the I-Pads to the latest X-Box. But remember back in the day when you couldn’t wait for Santa to bring you that Easy Bake Oven, (nothing like cooking a cake using a 75 watt lighbulb) or how about those Power Ranger action figures. Anything made from companies like Fisher Price, Hasbro Mattel or Wamm-O, were big hits for we kids of the baby boom! Which toy do you remember the most?

The National Toy Hall of Fame is awfully fond of these toys.

Remember Madballs and Popples? If you, like us, managed to successfully block out most of your childhood, the answer is a resounding "no"!

The other day, I couldn't find my daughter. It's not a huge problem. Sometimes she'll take an iPad and hide under her covers to watch cartoons or she'll sneak into our bedroom to play my Nintendo DS. When I found her, it turns out she was just sitting quietly listening to our old Fisher Price record player.

Pound Puppies, My Buddy, Slime...these are all toys that I am ashamed that I had - and that I miss playing with. I also miss the original GI Joe, He-Man, and Transformer action figures. They were hard, dangerous, and fun to play with...

I found one of these bad boys at an estate sale and knew I had to get it.

You can always spot a parent around the holiday season. Their hair is a frazzled mesh of cow licks and stray strands as if it’s been pulled by a crowd of frantic people. Their eyes dart around in all directions desperately seeking something that could suddenly appear at a moment’s notice. They break down and cry during commercials that advertise “the hottest toy of the holiday season.”
