Read with Me DVD —Ages 3 to 7 years—$39.99 (msrp)

Read with Me DVD by Fischer Price

Nothing short of a breakthrough - because it marries technology with great storybooks! Kids interact with a wireless controller that allows them to play real picture books and games on your TV. The DVDs read stories or on play mode it interrupts the story to ask questions. Some of the workbook-ish games are rough going for 3s and 4s, but on target for 5s and up. That said, this is a story machine for younger kids and slow paced game machine for 5-7s. Packaged with Where the Wild Things Are, we suggest The Little Engine That Could and Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom! as better choices for 3s and 4s. Does it replace reading with your kids? NO. We applaud Fisher-Price for their great book selections. We hope that they stay true to this mandate and stay clear of the usual diet of licensed characters and subpar books.

Color Pixter —Ages 3 years & up—$79.99 (msrp)

Color Pixter by Fisher-Price

The Pixter is like a personal digital assistant (PDA) for kids. But instead of storing boring appointments and phone numbers, they get to draw, do puzzles, and learn a little, too. The Pixter is about the size of a small book, and has a pretty solid weight to it. It's made out of brightly colored and durable plastic. The main action of this toy is drawing with an attached stylus. The Color Pixter offers much better graphics then the black and white version, which comes in handy with activities like Paint-by-Numbers and Connect-the-Dots. You can draw a picture free form, or you can use one of the starter backgrounds. There are tool buttons, like on a PDA, that give you access to fun stamps, special effects, and the eraser button. You can also save your creation in the Pixter's memory. There are some boppy tunes playing along with all this creative activity, but luckily for parents, there's also a jack for headphones and a volume adjuster. An expansion slot on top of the Pixter accepts ROM-based expansion cards that contain additional software and games. Additional cards available: Color Arcade, SpongeBob, Color Recue heroes, and Barbie Fashion Show. Requires 4 "AA" batteries. (Not included.)Epinions Top Ten ToyOppenheim 2005 Platinum Award Winner

Shake 'N Go Speedway—Ages 3 years & up—$39.99 (msrp)

Shake 'N Go Speedway by Fisher-Price

What's the coolest thing about the Shake 'n Go! Speedway? Not the lights and racing sound effects. Not even the racers you rev up just by shaking them. Using an IR sensor, this speedway actually "knows" who's winning the race, and features an "announcer" who gives play by play.

Potty Elmo —Ages 3 years & up—$19.99 (msrp)

Potty Elmo by Fisher-Price

Children will be encouraged to use the potty as they play with and care for plush, poseable Elmo. Elmo comes with a small book, sippy cup, removable training pants and potty. Squeeze Elmo's hand and he asks for a drink. Give him his sippy cup and he asks to go potty. In the novelty doll category, Potty Elmo is amazing. Give Elmo his sippy cup and you'll hear him drink; if you don't get him to the potty, he says, "Oops, Elmo didn't get to the potty. Accidents happen," and if he makes it, "Elmo can do it and so can you!" One of the best and most polite interactive dolls we've ever tested. Elmo sings a cute reward song when he uses the potty, and an encouraging song when he doesn't make it in time! Requires 3 "AA" batteries.Oppenheim 2005 Platinum Award Winner

Swirlin' Saucer —Ages 6 to 18 months —$12.99 (msrp)

InteracTV by Fischer-Price

As baby drops three colorful balls in, they swirl round and round, with upbeat music, fun sounds and dancing lights adding to the fun. For an extra whirl, colorful beads spin around the edge. Like all Baby Playzone toys, Swirlin' Saucer encourages and rewards baby's physical accomplishments with exciting activities that make baby want to try...and try again. Our seven month old tester loved picking up the over-sized plastic balls and dropping them in the saucer. You can turn on the toy base so that the saucer shakes and makes noise as the balls drop. When you first introduce the toy we recommend starting with the sound and motion off. A pleasingly easy to activate first floor toy. Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (included).Oppenheim 2005 Platinum Award Winner
