Some Rainy Day Toys to Keep Kids Entertained  

So April showers may bring may flowers, but they also lead to bored kids stuck inside. But that won't be the case if you check out these incredible recommendations from Marissa Silver editor in chief of Toy Insider. Welcome back, Marissa, thank you for having me. We have such cool stuff here. What's the secret to keeping kids entertained and avoiding cabin fever when it's so gloomy out? Yeah, whether you're staying home, you're going on the go this spring and summer. There are lots of great toys that you can take with you mess free, lots of fun for the whole family. No, the first option here is a great one for drawing on the go. What can you tell us about it? Yeah, so this is our sketch pals bug buddies. Ok. And these are really great because it's got a nice little carry shop. You can flip them anywhere you want. It's got an attached stylist. You're not gonna use this right? And you can draw on here anything that kids want. But if you press this little nose button here, you'll see that kids will get a blank canvas instantly. So no crayons, markers, blah, blah blah, hanging around the house. You've got everything nice and you throw in your bag or the car. I love keep kids busy at a restaurant, you know. Yes, exactly. And your next toy turns the most iconic video game. I'm assuming we're talking about this one of all time into an interactive game. How does this work? For? Sure. So this is pop up Super Mario. We've got the Super Mario Brothers movie hitting theaters tomorrow. We're so excited and players get these little paddles here and as you push them in, eventually Mario is gonna pop out of the tunnel. So you can see that there are lots of holes to push your paddle. So gameplay takes just a couple of minutes seconds to learn. The whole family can get in on the fun with this one. I love it. Another classic Legos. They're great for rainy day. What are some sets that you'd recommend? Yeah. So this one's brand new. It's the three in one uh Lego creator, exotic parrot. So I've built my beautiful bird here on his little perch, but you can build this twice. So using the same pieces, you can also make a little fish or a really cute little frog. So there's lots of play value built into this one little set at just 1999. So a really great place. Oh, yeah, that's, that's great that you can do so much economically, kids love surprise toys. Tell us about the surprise chick place that she's very noisy. He loves to, to chirp away here. So this is the surprise chick place that um you get one of two little chicks hiding inside. This is our doughnut theme, but there's also a cherry blossom theme. She's very trendy, trendy. We love the little flocking on her fur. It's nice and soft. You can pet her head, she'll chirp back at you. But of course, she does hatch magically out of her little egg here. Um And kids can repeat the hatching process again and again and she'll just like kind of walk her way right out into the play set. And I love that this has a little carry handle to. You can take it with you anywhere. Now we even have a toy for night sweer. Tell us about that. So are so magical for everyone. This is our dancing crab. Oh my God. This will actually dance around when you get him going. But he does also emit bubbles from his mouth. So this is like really fun for everybody. Um But what I love about him too is that he actually recognizes when he hits something and he'll just go in the other direction like yeah, he just like scuttles about and has a great time making a great uh bubble to play for you and, and you know, everyone loves bubbles. I love bubbles. I would get this, I would get that for myself. Definitely. What is the trend for toys right now, Marissa, very quickly. There are a lot of toy trends out there, but interactivity and multigenerational play are the two biggest ones. So things that the whole family can get in on together. Cool. Wow.
