My boys and I have always loved colouring and crafting, so when I was asked to review Crayola’s newest creation, Colour Alive, I was excited. I was also seriously impressed when we really got into it. This colouring book with app takes your basic colouring book to a whole new level. Read on to see what I’m talking about.  

Have you ever thought about what it might be like to fly? Well we don’t quite have jetpacks yet like we’re all hoping for but we do have quadcopters and drones these days. They are getting less expensive and more versatile very rapidly, and so there has never been a better time to try one out. They are easy to use, and there is so much variety so that pilots of any budgets or skill level can find something to make use of. Whether you just want to play around with controlling something in the air, or want to take professional grade aerial video, we’ve got you covered.

Meet Ollie! He’s the small, fun, app controlled robot that goes wherever you do. I’ve been testing him all week and have quite a bit to say. If you enjoy RC toys—particularly unconventional ones like Ollie—then pop on in and see what you, and I, think of him!

With spring in the rear view and summer straight ahead, it’s time for barbeques, late nights under the stars and trips to the pool and the park. The summer, as you head out the door, considering picking up some accessories for your smartphone to add to the experience. Whether it’s new ways to enjoy music, or unleashing your inner photographer, there’s definitely something out there for you. Here are a few ideas.

One of the things about flying a drone is that each flight seems to elicit something new. As drones become more sophisticated, they offer more each time in the air, adding to the payoff of learning and improving as a pilot. The DJI Phantom 3 is built to last, outfitted with some of the latest features any consumer drone can offer. I took it for a test drive for over a week, and shot a short video to go with it.

Combine the quality of Melissa & Doug products and the love of Mickey Mouse and all of his friends, and you have a stellar new lineup of cool learning toys for kids aged 2, 3, and above. Check out my take of these 6 new options after taking them for a test drive with my 3.5-year-old son.

What’s cooler than having your own eye in the sky? For a lot of consumers and professionals out there, not much! The DJI Phantom was one of the first truly user-friendly drones on the market, and the family has grown over the past few years to includes some awesome new features. The beautifully designed Phantom 3 brings more range, more clarity, and more power to the field with two new models.
