Toys Games & Hobbies

Join me today as I explore several great birthday gift ideas for kids of various ages. Inside I cover everything from STEM toys to arcade gaming machines.

Today I review the Botzees Coding and AR Robotics Kit. Join me if you want to find smart, educational toys for your child with an emphasis on STEM learning.

PlayShifu's Tacto lineup of STEM toys is now available at Best Buy, starting with board game classics and a laser based science set!

Making board games used to only be done by big corporations, but due to a resurgence in popularity, more and more people are making board games, including a lot of Canadians.

Paw Patrol is a hugely popular TV show for small children so of course there is a huge selection of toys, games and accessories on the market. Kids are going to want to be part of Adventure Bay and play along with Ryder and his pack of pups. Read on for my review of Zoomer Marshall.

Parrot’s new line of miniatures looks to bring you functionality and creativity for a fraction of larger drones of its size.  The Jumping Sumo is one of these new gadgets, capable of jumping upwards of 2.5 feet at the push of a virtual button, and can even take stills and film videos from an onboard camera.  Best of all, your smartphone is the remote, and you can even follow along with the display in real time if you roll it out of sight.  Ready to see more?

I recently had the opportunity to test the Propel Star Wars X-Wing Battling Drone. If you'd like to see how it went, just click through to find out.

   Today I review the new Sphero SPRK+ (which is coming soon to Best Buy). This new robotic ball builds on the technology of last year’s Sphero SPRK Edition.

Melissa & Doug is known for its cool, well-built, and educational toys for kids of all ages. I checked out 5 great products for toddlers around the age of 3 and 3, from building and counting blocks, to fun puzzles.

If you saw my recent review of the Parrot Mambo Mini Quadcopter Drone and were intrigued by its amazing capabilities, you're really going to want to check out today's review. This time I cover a related drone called the Parrot Swing Mini Quadcopter with Camera & Controller. This one is, in many respects, even more amazing than the Mambo (even if the Mambo still is my favourite). Click on through to give it a look!
