Boogie Board – Play, Write, Draw, Learn, Go Wild

Perhaps, when you were a kid you used to draw on iron filing boards. It is one of the ways to keep kids busy, especially those talented ones who wouldn’t want to put the pencil down. This is the reason why Improv Electronics has developed Boogie Board, a non-power flexible LCD that’s based on Reflex technology.

With the Boogie Board, you can say goodbye to paper because it allows you to write, draw, play, learn, and go wild using its reflective LCD screen. This paperless LCD writing tablet can be used not just in your home but also in the office, car, and yes, even in athletic field.

To write or draw, you just have to use the stainless steel telescoping stylus that comes with the product. Even your fingers can be used so you no longer need to remember where you put your pencil or pen. What’s more is you can even use various tools like stiff artist brush, plastic compass, pen cap, cookie cutter, and even your fingernail to come up with different patterns and textures. A simple touch of a button will produce a cool, friendly flash from the liquid crystal display to erase your image.

This LCD writing tablet can be brought no matter where you want to go because it’s just 1/8 inch thin and can be inserted in your scheduler, backpack, briefcase, and purse. The Boogie Board is also made from durable plastic materials so it surely would last long. It is also energy-efficient as it comes with sealed 3v watch battery that doesn’t need replacing.

Who Needs a Disco Ball When There’s the Pocket Laser Light Show

Believe it or not, lasers are not only used for reconstructive surgeries, blasting an Imperial-class Star Destroyer’s hull wide open or splitting a droideka in half. With their thin rays of light and rainbow-like colors, laser beams are a stunning cross between dramatic lighting and brilliant fireworks. The unique characteristics of lasers make them a creative way to “add colors” to any variety of indoor and outdoor events or productions. You don’t need to be a member of a high-profile rock band like Pink Floyd and The Who or attend grand openings of big shot events to enjoy your own laser show. With advances in light technology, even you can now have a high quality laser light right in the palm of your hands.

The Pocket Laser Light is a totally self-contained wireless gadget that can project a spectacular array of laser light designs and outlines onto any wall or ceiling. It features an Auto mode that can play various pre-programmed laser pattern and a Manual mode. The latter lets you control your own laser light show thru the left and right pattern controls and motor direction switches. You can either let the Pocket Laser Light work its show on its own or you can get creative and indulge yourself to your very own “Greatest Pocket Light Show on Earth”.

The Pocket Laser Light requires 3 x AAA batteries to work. Just like a Rebel Alliance’s DH-17 blaster pistol, NEVER shine it in anyone’s eyes.

Say Hello to My Little Friend – Tomy Radio Controlled Robot Robo Q

Before severing the spine of the next T-600 that steps into your doorstep with a kitchen knife or whacking the first ASN-121 courier droid you see hovering around with a frying pan, remember that not all robots are evil henchman. Some robots are just innocent cute little buggers with bucketful of love in their circuitry – like the new Robo Q, a radio controlled robot from Tomy. In contrast to the menacing machines you see on sci-fi movies, Robo Q is way far from threatening with its measly 3.5 cm height.

Actually, Robo Q is even smaller and cutter than Ben 10’s Grey Matter in a geeky sci-fi kind of way. Being one of the world’s smallest robots, this little radio controlled robot may not be able to protect you from alien invasion but it can do a lot of fun cool stuff to keep you amused and amazed. It comes with a remote control to direct his movement, speed up, run and spin around. The little bugger is smart enough not to crash into things and obstacles. Aside from the space suit, Robo Q features an infrared sensor to identify obstacles and change direction out of harm’s way. The easy to use remote control uses 4 x AA batteries (sadly, not included) and also serves as a charging station for Robo Q. The Tomy radio controlled Robo Q comes with a set of instructions to help you get the fun started.

Talking Microscope

Remember the macro and microscope that was featured the other day? Now, here is another alternative for you, budding biologist. The difference with this one is that the Talking Microscope can be used for kids that are 5+ while the macro and microscope is for kids who are 8+ plus, this one talks.

While this is suited for younger kids, don’t let the age number fool you since this is still packed with scientific features. This has 5x magnification that would let your kid see a whole new world within the small creatures that he used to squish with his hand. While on a slide, the microscope talks and tells facts about the specimen being examined where your kid can learn new things. The quiz mode on the other hand tests your child’s ability to remember what has been taught to him. As he breeze through the answers, it makes the information almost permanent (as you know, a kid’s brain is like a super-hold sponge). While the operation seems to be complicated and all, it is very easy to learn with the 7 Spark Cards which illustrate the microscope’s operations in easy to understand diagrams and pictures. For parents, there is also an included “Lab Assistant” guide for you to be able to help your kid use the microscope. Actual user reviews show that the Talking Microscope is fun, durable, and easy to use.
