There may have never been a more popular Sesame Street character then when Elmo was first introduced to the kids. It didn’t take long for Elmo to win a place in their hearts and the Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is only going to solidify his hold as one of the hottest toys of 2009. If Elmo isn’t under the Christmas Tree, parents are going to have to explain for Santa.

While Elmo Live was something incredible, the Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is about as lifelike as it gets. With all of the movements that Elmo is now capable of, you will swear that your child has a real live friend with him at all times. Elmo has never been this animated and the kids are going to absolutely love it.

Part of the fun of watching Elmo on Sesame Street is how he moves and acts when he tells a story. The latest version of Elmo brings Sesame Street right into your home as it is difficult to tell the different between the muppet on the show and the doll that your child is holding in their hands.

Elmo is 11x8x15 inches and weighs about 4 pounds. He is recommended for children 18 months and up and this is a case of the younger the better. Your child is never going to put this down and getting a toy like this at such a young age is something that literally creates a bond over the years. We all had our favorite woobie and whether it was a bear or a blanket, nothing could separate us from it wherever we went. Just going to bed or traveling in the car can simply not happen unless our little buddy is close by. The Fisher-Price Elmo Live Encore is sure to that toy during the Christmas 2009 season.

Today, computers are part of everyday life. They are now making appearances in classrooms at earlier grades than one would've ever thought. It is not uncommon for a child of eight to be more computer literate than a man of 60. If our children are going to succeed in life and school, it is best to get them used to using computers as soon as possible. The new Disney Netpal Computer is the perfect tool to introduce them to the wonderful world computers.

ASUS has quickly made a name for itself as one of the premier computer makers in the world. Their net books and laptops are just as popular as brands like Dell and HP. While it is reasonable to be skeptical of a fairly new brand name, the customer reviews speak for themselves and prove how incredible their computers are. The fact that Disney has partnered up with them to create the Disney Netpal Computer speaks volumes, as we all know that quality comes before anything else when it comes to Disney products.

While the shell of the computer is extremely attractive, it is what is inside the computer that really counts. With the Disney logo proudly displayed on the outside of the computer, you can only imagine what they have in store for you once you get this thing fired up. The computer comes in two typical Disney colors, Princess Pink and Magic Blue.

Once the computer is turned on, there is the pleasant surprise of 10 different themes that Disney has already preloaded onto your new computer. Along with classic Disney characters, some of our favorite movies such as Toy Story and Cars are also featured. Your child can customize their signature with an icon from any of these. They are also plenty of extra software features that incorporate the Disney themes and movies into this incredible little machine.

When Christmas season rolls around, it is always interesting to see the same old games start to pop up and spend their entire yearly advertising budget over the course of one week. Games like Yahtzee, Stratego, Life and Monopoly are all games that are great, but they and games like them have been around for decades. That is why this year it is nice to see a change of pace with the Mindflex Game.

Instead of worrying about what is going to come up on the die or flipping the wrong card over, the Mindflex Game really does use your head. The game features a headset that looks like it came out of Star Trek that can read the waves of the brain to move the ball around the obstacle course. We know, it sounds crazy, but one quick experience with the game and you will quickly realize how incredible the Mindflex Game really is.

The game is played on a board that does feature a fan to get the ball elevated, but that is all that it does. By learning the techniques that the instruction manual teaches, your mind will actually start to manipulate the ball around the obstacle course and will have it doing some amazing things.

This is one of the more expensive games that will be on the shopping list this season, but it could have a lot of benefits. If the user can manage to master the techniques, these mind exercises will surely prove useful later in life. The amount of concentration that it takes to move an object is surely something that will come in handy as an adult. Still don’t believe? Head out to your favorite store and give it a try and when you see that ball moving, run back home and get on the Internet to find the best price.

As a parent, if you don't know about Bakugan, it is time to start doing some research. Bakugan has taken over as one of the most popular strategy games for kids of all ages. It is another one of those games that allows the children to make use of the different figures as collectible toys as well as strategy figures. The Bakugan 7 in 1 Maxus Dragonoid is one of the most desired toys of the 2009 Christmas season.

The game is based off of the TV series that features the Bakugan Warriors. If you've not seen the show, the Bakugan are actually spring-loaded marbles that open up and turn into a fearsome warrior. The idea behind the game is to get all of your opponents’ middle gate cards to win the game. There is a lot of strategy involved and having the right Warriors gives them a better chance of winning.

The Bakugan 7 in 1 Maxus Dragonoid is actually made up of one warrior, Neo Dragonoid, and six separate traps. When all of these pieces are combined, they come together to form the Maxus Dragonoid. This is a fairly complex toy, but your child should have no problem assembling it for use.

As an added bonus, the Bakugan 7 in 1 Maxus Dragonoid also has one ability card and one middle gate card. This is a toy that is meant for someone who already has a starter set, as the complete game cannot be played with this piece alone. For anyone just getting into Bakugan, you may want to also purchase one of the starter sets to make sure that the game can be played properly. However, the Bakugan 7 in 1 Maxus Dragonoid makes a great stand-alone toy that is sure to please all little children during the 2009 Christmas holiday.

Many adults can probably still remember the day the Nerf football was first introduced. For those of us that lived in the city, it was the greatest invention of all time. We could finally play ball in the street and not have to worry about missing a pass and having it damage somebody’s car. The reaction was the same the first time it hit as we cringed thinking we were about to get in trouble, but then it fell harmlessly to the ground. Nerf continues this fine tradition for a new generation of children with the Nerf-N-Strike Gun.

The Nerf-N-Strike Gun may look like it can do some serious damage, but it really is all bark and no bite. The foam blasters will shoot out missiles, but after they hit their target, all they do is fall harmlessly to the ground. While there are plenty of toys out there that have parents shaking their heads in disbelief, they can still count on Nerf to provide some good old fashioned fun that will not harm a single child.

When the kids don’t have anyone else to play with, the Nerf-N-Strike Gun can still give them some lots of fun. By putting the included DVD into their DVD player, they can take on the evil Kree Dalenn and the rest of his cronies. When the targets pop up, they can fire at will on the TV. While the soft missiles are capable of sticking to the screen, they will do no harm whatsoever to the TV or anyone else.

Included in the set are the blaster gun, 3 blasters, 1 mega missile, DVD, and micro darts. The manufacturer recommends that this toy only be used by children 8 years old and up and it is a one or two player game. Compared to many of the games that are out there today, the Nerf-N-Strike Gun is a bargain and you know that the kids will play it forever.

Barbie has always been one of the most popular dolls around. Little girls love to try and dress up Barbie and dress up like Barbie. They grow up seeing these incredible super models that do their runway poses and go right to their dolls to try and replicate them. Well, there is finally a doll that can allow them to have a true fashion show at home with the 100 Pose Barbie Fashionista Dolls.

Just like the supermodels on the runway, the 100 Pose Barbie Fashionista Dolls are fitted with the latest trends and style that have jaws dropping all over the world. They don’t follow fashion trends, they set them! There is no mood or attitude that this Barbie cannot create.

Each doll is known for her separate personality, but every one of them is capable of an amazing 100 poses. There isn’t another doll around that is like this Barbie as she is truly living up to her name as the glamour girl of all dolls. Barbie is now what the other fashion dolls aspire to be.

So how does this Barbie differ from all other dolls? The 100 Pose Barbie Fashionista dolls have 12 point articulation that allows them to bend at every joint, just like a real person. She can go from hands on hips to one knee bent to tossing her heal in the air as though she is getting her first kiss. The little girls will probably run out of ideas for poses before Barbie actually runs out of poses to do.

It is great to see a traditional doll that has been around for what seems like forever still be so popular today. More refreshing is that somehow these dolls are still so affordable. She may not dance or talk, but Barbie is Barbie and little girls will always want them. At less than $20 each, this is a Christmas toy for 2009 that gets a definite thumbs up!

One of the great mysteries of life is why kids love to tickle and be tickled so much. There is no mistaking that laughter though and when a toy like the Fisher-Price Elmo Tickle Hands comes out, it definitely deserves some checking into. If this toy is half as good as Elmo Live Encore, it will be hard to keep on the shelves.

The Fisher-Price Elmo Tickle Hands are two oversized hands that feature Elmo’s face right in the palm. They fit right over your children’s hands and they are sure to be little terrors as they run around the house trying to evoke giggles from everyone in the house. Not only do they tickle, but the Elmo Tickle Hands have a few surprises in store.

When the activated hand touches a surface, the hands will vibrate. The fun really starts when they hear Elmo giggle right along with them and he may just even break out into a song or two. Before you know it, the whole family is dancing to the Tickle Hand Groove. In addition to all of this, there is also a great DVD that the entire family can watch to show them how to do the latest dance craze that Elmo is bringing out.

The only knock on these is that only one hand is activated for all of this. While it makes sense as you do not want to have dueling hands (in regards to singing, etc…), but it might be wise to let the kids in on this as they may think that the one hand is not working. As long as they understand that is the way they work, they are sure to enjoy this great new toy. Hopefully, you will manage to steer clear of your new little tickle monster.

Included with the projects, there are also 40 different parts that can be used to complete the projects. The bench also has a power saw and power drill that look just like dads.

With step by step guidance, every single project will be completed with ease. When they want to try something really challenging, they can break down the drill and saw and fix them.

While the Fisher-Price Manny’s Repair Shop should be enough to keep the kids entertained, there are also plenty of additions that can be purchased as accessories that will add even more enjoyment to this work bench. After all, what work bench is complete without a tool box? This is a great line of toys that any little boy would be proud to own.

Wii took the video game world by storm a few years ago when it was first introduced and never looked back. Many gamers had just purchased an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3 and were so enamored by the game that they ran out and purchased this game system as well. That may have actually been the biggest compliment of all. Gamers have a tendency to be very loyal to their systems, and the fact that they even played the games spoke volumes as to its quality. This season the Wii Sports Resort will surely be the hottest new game for the Wii.

Christmas is obviously in the middle of the winter and everyone gets the winter time blues. The Wii Sports Resort may not be an actual trip to some majestic tropical island, but it will at least allow you to have all of the fun that is available on the one of those trips. If you have yet to play a Wii sports game, this is definitely one that should not be missed.

The great thing about the Wii is that unlike the other game systems where you just sit on the couch and push buttons, you are forced to get involved and actually simulate the movements of the action on screen in order to be able to compete. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that other systems have tried to duplicate, but always come up short.

While many game systems are aimed at the kids, this is one that everyone will surely enjoy. Mom and dad are going to have just as much fun ripping around on the jetski as the kids are. The Wii Motion Plus is needed for the use of the game and one Wii Motion Plus is included in with the game. For multi-player action, an additional Wii Motion Plus will have to be purchased if you don’t already have one.

There is hardly a boy around who has not looked forward to getting a new Tonka Truck at Christmas time. While they are happy to get just about any Tonka Truck, getting the Tonka Chuck My Talking Truck is sure to be high on their list this Christmas season. To have a truck that acts like this is sure to make their Christmas truly magical.

The Tonka Chuck My Talking Truck is no ordinary truck. This sturdy, but safe Tonka truck will come on command and looks forward to whatever work your child wants to give them. His actions will totally surprise them at first as they will be in shock that when they tell Chuck to come, he starts up his engine and comes right to them looking to fill up the next payload.

Looking at Chuck you are immediately reminded of the movie Cars. His cartoon like features make him all the more entertaining. One thing that Tonka does warn of is to try and use the toy away from TV’s and radios. Because the toy is sensitive to sound, the various different noises may confuse the toy and have him running around in circles. However, your child will probably find this just as amusing!

The truck is made from rubber and is totally safe. There is no need to worry about a collision with your child as Tonka has already thought of that in the construction of the toy. The only thing that you need to be concerned with is how much fun the children are going to have with their new talking truck. With over 40 phrases and sounds programmed in, the kids will never get tired of the new worker in the house.

While there have always been some games that can be played with fitness in mind, this niche really exploded a few years ago with the Wii Fitness. Ever since then, different companies have been coming out with some incredible fitness games that would not only entertain your child, while also keep them in top physical shape. The Fisher-Price Smart Fit is one of the latest Fisher-Price toys that falls into that category.

It is no secret that little kids only want to do things that they consider fun. If they are enjoying themselves, you can get them to learn new things and to exercise as they are only concerned about the smile that is on their face. The Fisher-Price Smart Fit is a 2009 Christmas toy that will do exactly that.

The Fisher-Price Smart Fit is an interactive video game that has a play activity pad to keep track of all your child's movements and project them up on the screen. Regardless of the weather outside, your living room or their playroom can be as active as a playground on a Saturday afternoon. With eight different modes, the children will never be bored with this incredible fitness toy.

The great thing about the Fisher-Price Smart Fit is that it integrates learning with fitness. As your child is jumping around on the play activity pad, they are answering different questions in a fun way. At such a young age, this is one of the best ways to introduce your child to the learning experience.

LEGO toys seem like they have been around since the beginning of time. It is likely that any parent still remembers using the LEGO’s and Lincoln Logs along with the infamous Erector Sets to build creations that at the time seemed futuristic. Today, toys like the LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor put the sets that we had to shame.

When it comes to building games, few companies have the reputation that LEGO has earned. Putting out building toys for children of all ages, they have long been the premier toy in this niche. Well, they have totally outdone themselves with the LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor.

Here is a building set that has taken the movie and truly brought it to life. There was a time when children had to figure what pieces were needed and make their creations from counted sets, but that is no longer the case. When LEGO started putting out exact sets, we all knew great things were to come.

The beauty of these sets is that you know you have all of the pieces that are needed to create the same building or creature that is on the box. We can probably all remember running out to the store because we didn’t have enough flat base pieces or corner pieces for the roof. Remember running across the street to your buddy’s house to get another window so you could complete the castle?

The LEGO Star Wars Battle of Endor has the pieces for this complete battle scene. From the Ewoks to the Death Star Trooper, it is all in the kit. If your kids are happy with this, there are plenty more Star Wars sets to keep those creative juices flowing. Sets like the LEGO Star Wars Hoth Rebel Base and the LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship would be perfect companions for this space age LEGO set.

As everyone can surely recall, this all got kicked off a few years ago when Guitar Hero was introduced. People initially laughed at the idea of someone playing a guitar being a video game. That didn’t last long, because the moment that game hit the shelves, it was an instant success. The next logical step was to create a video game band. Before long, they were having battle of the band competitions that had people everywhere shaking their heads.

Every house in America today seems to have a big screen TV. When we were kids, dad would have had out heads if we hooked up our game to the main television set in the house. Today, a video game system is almost expected to be part of the entertainment center. While the TV technology is great, video games can still do damage to the screens if they are left on too long. Because of this, the EyeClops Mini Projector is a very attractive alternative for your kids.

This is a great way to make sure that your $3,000 TV does not have images burnt into and also allows your kids to play their games whenever they want.

Did we mention the fact that you can have all of this for less than $75! It would be pretty reasonable to expect to pay well over $100 for something like this, but it actually costs less than some of the Transformers that are out this Christmas. Here is a toy that will not only be enjoyed when they are young, but this is something that they can use for years to come. When their actions figures are getting boxed up or given away, this will surely still be in their backpack and be taken everywhere that they go.

Disney's movies always create a star and when the toy line comes out that is associated with them, you just know that it is going to be on your child's wish list for Christmas. Christmas of 2009 is surely going to be a popular season for the Disney Princess and the Frog "Just One Kiss" Tiana Doll.

Prince Naveen may be a frog, but Tiana will make an incredible impression in her sparkling blue dress. She truly does look like a princess and allows your little girl to make one of the favorite scenes of the movie play out in real life. When her dress lights up, it's truly a magical moment.

One of the most amazing things about this style is how Tiana will turn her head away when the frog approaches her. Somehow your daughter is going to have to convince the Princess to give the frog a small kiss so that she can get her Prince charming. One kiss will make a difference, but only Tiana can make it happen.

While this is an incredible toy, there is a definite word of warning for parents. The manufacturer does not recommend this toy for any children under the age of eight as it has a removable part that can be dangerous for youngsters. Tiana carries a marble with her and this piece could easily be swallowed by a young child that does not know the difference. Because of this, it is recommended that only older children be given the doll.

Every little girl is going to want to make sure that they have the Disney Princess and the Frog "Just One Kiss" Tiana Doll this Christmas. Before the stores run out, make sure that you get over there to get this for your little girl to ensure that her face lights up just like Tiana's dress on Christmas morning.

Playing soldier is something that just about every kid does when they are young. Kids 20 years ago used the cheap dime store binoculars and a stick to simulate their rifle. Today, kids are using laser tag guns and the Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles V2. Toys like this make the old fashioned game of Army much more realistic than it has ever been.

The Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles V2 is about as realistic as it gets. These are fully functioning infrared night vision goggles that your kids can use for their secret missions. The first time the kids use these, they are going to be amazed at how easy it is to see at night or in the dark when they have them on.

The Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles V2 has two different modes to choose from. Stealth mode will make the user all but disappear into the darkness. Because the light that comes from the binoculars is negated, the person wearing them can literally be right in front of their target and they will not be noticed. Long range mode allows them to see from up to 50 feet away for those long distance missions where their detection is less likely.

The one word of warning that comes with the Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles V2 is that while the kids can see at night, they still need to keep their movements under control. While they will now have vision at night, their field of vision will be limited to the area that is directly in front of them. They could very easily miss something off to the side if they were to run around recklessly with them on. It is recommended that this toy be used with adult supervision to ensure the safety of the children.
