Mood Duck Radio – Relive the Child in You

For sure, you’ve already seen a rubber ducky – that cute little thingy that your kids play with during bath time. Can you see the smiles in their faces when they bath with their rubber ducky? They sure have fun, right? And perhaps, you’re thinking, “How come I didn’t get to enjoy one when I was a kid?” But hey, it’s not yet too late, you know! You can also have fun like your kids when taking a bath. How? By sharing it with this bobbing, glowing, plastic ducky called Mood Duck Radio.

The Mood Duck is called as such because it is designed to provide a relaxing colour-changing mood light. It’s actually perfect for night bath time, so you can relax and just enjoy that long soak. If you had a hard day at work, this stress-relieving comedy waterfowl is just what you need. Simply pop 3xAAA batteries in it, activate the on/off button, and it’s good to go.

But apart from providing relaxing colour-changing light, this cute gadget gift also functions as an AM/FM radio. To switch it on, all you have to do is to twist the little quacker’s head. Now, if you want to adjust the volume, again you can do so by twisting the head. But if you want to tune in to a radio station, it’s the rotating tail that you have to fiddle with. Such a cutey! All that’s left for you to do now is to enjoy the music and just soak in the water for as long as you want to.

Ant-O-Sphere for Ant Lovers

Are you a pet lover? If you are, how would you like the idea of having ants for a pet? Impossible? Well, that was before. There’s a new innovation these days that will make keeping ants as pets not only possible but also easy and fun. Take a look at the Ant-O-Sphere!

The Ant-O-Sphere is an ant habitat that you can easily set up according to your liking. It comes with four spherical pods and red tubes connecting the pods. The system is an imitation of the exact layout of the leaf-cutter ant colonies, and the pods and tubes are the exact size of the chambers built by the ants underground. You can add soil and plants, even worms, to the pods in order to create a miniature eco-system for your pets. Plus, the red tubes make ants believe that they are in total darkness when the reality is that you can observe them. And to see even the tiniest details of the ants’ lives, the Ant-O-Sphere comes with three kinds of magnifier.

This mini ant eco-system toy will perk up your creativity. You can arrange the pods according to your preference, you can add whatever you want on the pods (you can even make a mini garden), and you can add more pods as your ant colony grows. If you have kids, this is a great learning experience for them and a great way to teach them how to care for other living organisms. Just remember, however, that the Ant-O-Sphere is not ideal for people who are allergic to insect stings and for kids under three years old.

i-Cat a Music Speaker with a Feline’s Touch

There are dog lovers, fish lovers, rabbit lovers (like who could resist those cute nose quivers and fuzzy soft body), reptile lovers, and of course cat lovers. While different speakers are out in the market doing this and that, the i-Cat is simply perfect for cat lovers. Aside from its cute feline body, it also does more than sleep, purr, and scratch on furniture.

When turned off, this glossy white cat looks just a plastic gadget that does nothing but imitate a pet. But don’t let the looks deceive you since once the batteries are popped in, the i-Cat is just as adorable as a fuzzy playful cat. The face light up with different LED lights that show expression like an equalizer. The head also tilts as it enjoys the music beats. You can make this cat listen to the sounds and let it bop and pop with the music or connect an mp3 player on its 3.5mm audio jack and act like a normal set of speakers still, with its cute movements and emotions.

Just press the nose to start the i-Cat and it’s ready to groove. Another neat feature is that the cat actually meows and purrs depending on where you scratch it. Like scratch it on the ears and you can add some meows on Lady GaGa’s tracks or purrs on Miley Cyrus’ Party in the USA. However, don’t expect loud thumping music on the i-Cat as it is not designed for audiophiles, but rather for tots and tykes.

Doodle in Circles With the R/C Doodling Bug

Kids are now more equipped than ever! The LEGO mp3 player that was featured some posts back, and more recently, those alternative energy lab and global warming kit that makes them more intelligent and knowledgeable. Now, this remote controlled bug let kids doodle around without even using their own hands! Talk about letting someone do the dirty job.

b172_rc_color_bug2The R/C Color Bug Doodling Toy makes your kid doodle around in circles using some stick controls on the remote. The R/C bug has a hole on the top where the included markers are placed and then off it goes. The marker writes along the path that the bug has been, which parents can call the path of destruction (just imagine the amount of floor scrubbing involved). The remote control is easy to operate with just a forward and a backward and a combination of both for curved movements. This isn’t really something that lets your kids draw creatively as it can only do a bunch of circles at most. That unless you try to be imaginative and see bunnies and those stuffs as if you were looking at cloud formations. This is also a toy that might make parents see images of crazy lines running everywhere in the house. In case you will be getting this, the included markers are washable, but take note that your kids might insert a permanent marker which can seriously mess your hardwood floors.

There is always one available to be purchased here.
