Yucky Kids Toys

This is very creative and educational but at the same time I have to say "eww."

Giant Microbes are plush toys that resemble...well microbes. According to the site they have:

The Common Cold, The Flu, Sore Throat, Stomach Ache, Cough, Ear Ache, Bad Breath, Kissing Disease, Athlete's Foot, Ulcer, Martian Life, Beer & Bread, Black Death, Ebola, Flesh Eating, Sleeping Sickness, Dust Mite, Bed Bug, and Bookworm (and in our Professional line: H.I.V. and Hepatitis).

Kids are germy enough. Why do they have to play with toys that help emphasize that? But on the other hand this would be a good tool for all the future doctors and scientists out there.

Webkinz - What Will They Think Of Next?

What an idea!

Combine the appeal of beanie babies with the coolness of gigapets and what do you get? Webkinz.

This is not a new toy, it's been around since 2005 but I'm just now hearing about it. What will they think of next?

What exactly are Webkinz?

According to Wikipedia:

"The toys are similar to many other small plush toys, however they come with a special code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" which is a site website to "adopt" a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction. There is are also smaller versions of the toys called "Lil' Kinz""

Why are they cool?

Webkinz combine the real with the virtual which is a winning combination. Kids will be entertained for quite awhile as they navigate through the different features.
