As kids we were all taught that you shouldn’t tap on aquarium glass because it’s (supposedly) deafening to the fish inside. But the next-generation of Hexbug’s Aquabots actually encourage this behavior, coming to life when you tap on the bowl, or by simply running your fingers through the water.

If you have little girl, it’s likely that you remember Zhu-Zhu pets. Those cutey little motorized hamsters that were all the rage a few Christmases ago. Well, Cepia, the company that allowed you the privilege of standing on line to buy those furry critters, is doing it again…
Check out Happys, the only line of interactive puppy and kitty plush pets that you can play with, train to perform tricks and make more than 25 silly sounds. Kids can play “keep away” or simply roll The Happy’s ball and watch them chase after it. Hold the Happy’s treat and they’ll come running.
Each different treat will prompt your pet to perform a different trick like beg, pounce, follow, chase tail or spin, and all Happy’s treats work with any Happy’s pet – so the more treats, the more tricks the Happy’s will do!
Four sweet and silly characters compose The Happy’s litter, including 3 dogs and a kitty, each with its own name, treat, and unique personality. Rest assured there will be plenty of playsets and accessories, including beds, vehicles and fashion carriers.. Happy’s will be arriving this spring, just in time for Easter. No word yet on price, but do yourself a favor and get them quick, so I won’t have to say “I told you so”

It’s always a good idea to give your pets lots of exercise and freedom. But how does that work with a fish who are reliant on a tank full of water to live? That’s easy; you just strap its aquarium to an RC car and rig up a device that lets the fish steer.

There’s a kind of stop-motion animation* called “vinylmation” right this minute, if you did not know, using vinyl toys as the models and just as simple a stop-motion technique as … Continue reading
We often plan our lives a year in advance. Holidays coinciding with certain days of the week mean that we can have a longer or shorter amount of time off. It is through the calendar that we know whether or not we have a long enough stretch of time to make it to and from grandma’s house without tiring ourselves out from going on vacation.
If you must plan your life based around a set schedule, then not having to tap through the entire calendar on your smartphone might be nice. The 50 Year Calendar Keyring will help you to know exactly what days of the week will be falling on what date until 2062. As was stated, this is meant to be a keyring, so it’s very small. The biggest question begs whether or not it can stand 50 years of being banged and tossed around, as most of us don’t really think about being gentle with our keys.
Regardless of whether or not it can stand the test of time, it would at least be helpful for the next five year span, as most of us don’t plan things much farther in advance than that. This will only cost you around $7, and could be a lovely gift for those who enjoy planning out their year a year beforehand. For those of you concerned, yes, this does adjust for leap years! The only saddening aspect is that 20 years from now will only seem like yesterday that you bought this.
