Ideal for ages 12 to 36 months this lively zebra enhances motor skills as the child learns coordination, balance, and how to climb on and off. Sure to become every youngster's favorite toy, five uplifting songs play as the child bounces and turns 360 degrees. Fun sounds reward movement and strengthen auditory skills. The Bounce and Spin also has an activity handlebar with a rolling ball to encourage eye-hand coordination. Fun for the Little One The wide, sturdy base of the Bounce and Spin Zebra provides stability and support, even with hard bouncing and spinning. And to prevent falls, the Zebra locks until the child is sitting properly in the seat. It also has an off-soft-loud switch that little fingers can't turn. Orange, easy-grip handlebars allow the toddler to hold tight as they take their wild ride. For even more fun, a ball spins in the center with lights and music. This toy is relatively low to the ground, so that most children can climb on and off by themselves. Putting together the Zebra is easy, but be aware that the carton contains small parts for adult use only. This product requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Features Better than a boring old horse, this lively Zebra really encourages physical development. It comes as no surprise that the Bounce and Spin Zebra won the Hot Toy award from Toys 'R Us in 2006, and accolades from other companies. Parents get a lot of use out of this toy, as children can play with it until they are about three years old. The zany Zebra won't tilt under pressure and it has an irresistibly cute appearance that kids love. Five fun songs and activity handlebars keeps active kids bouncing, busy, and happy. This toy encourages baby's physical development through bouncing and spinning.

This child-size Tonka truck from Playskool lets kids scoop up shape blocks with three different modes of play. Recommended for babies nine months old to three-year-old toddlers, this fun vehicle helps little ones transition from crawling, to walking, to riding. This Tonka truck makes engine noises and generates realistic road vibrations. View larger. What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Steering wheel makes fun driving sounds The Bad: Some adult assembly required In a Nutshell: Grows with toddlers from crawling to walking to riding At a Glance Ages: 9 months to 3 years old Requires: 3 AA batteries required (included) Three Fun Modes of Play Made with colorful, durable plastic construction, the Scoot 'n Scoop holds of child's play--and up to 42 pounds. The seat and gravel guard both detach from the truck body and snap in to different positions for a push mode, walk mode, and ride-on mode. With the seat in the up position, kids can easily push and pull the truck, and watch when moving forward as shape blocks get picked up in the dump bed. When the seat is down, these blocks fit into corresponding shapes on the seat. And of course, kids can sit on and ride the truck with the handle up or the steering wheel on. The Revvin' Beepin' Wheel starts with a turn of the purple key in the ignition, making funny engine noises and realistic road vibrations that turn off on their own. There's also an orange clicking gearshift, an adjustable blue mirror, directional blink lights, and a green horn with four different honking sounds. Drivers-in-training can play with the wheel attached to the truck or separately. Put to the Driver's Test The Scoot 'n Scoop is great for a range of young children--and though it's marketed toward boys, little girls will have fun with this toy too! While kids can play for a long time in any one of the truck's play modes, they're stuck in each one without a parent's help in moving the wheel, seat, and gravel guard. Attaching the gravel guard and seat is easy, but pressing both buttons down and lifting up at the same time to remove either is a pain and may require an extra hand. Parents will also have to attach the real axle with the included screw assembly. It only takes a minute and a small screwdriver, but adults should be careful to keep the small parts away from the kids. Children can throw their own toys in the dump bed, but the Scoot 'n Scoop only picks up the three included shape blocks. Just as much fun to play with on its own, the Revvin' Beepin' Wheel uses three AA batteries, which come included with the wheel. The Scoot 'n Scoop can carry up to a 42-pound child. The seat lifts to reveal storage. View larger. What's in the Box Truck, detachable wheel, 2 screws, 3 plastic blocks, and instructions.

| Up & Down Roller Coaster |
-
Company: Step2
-
List Price: $119.99
-
Amazon Price: $91.74
| It may not feature any loop-de-loops or terrifying hairpin turns, but preschoolers will likely find this 10-foot-long roller coaster every bit as thrilling as grownups find the amusement park version. Molded in brightly colored plastic, it's built for years of wear in either the backyard or the playroom. The set's components fit together to form a downhill ride with another smaller hill about halfway through. What we loved most about this set is the fact that the individual parts are just as much fun as the fully assembled kit. The car, bright yellow with a sturdy handle, could just as easily be used around the house if the child is too young for the coaster. And the ramp system is plenty of fun to roll cars, balls, or anything else. Perhaps our tiny toy tester said it best: "Wheee!" --John Moe
