Spiderman Plug’n'Play

The batteries are said to run out quickly on this “plug and play” TV game. Still, the fact that an expensive video game system isn’t needed is appreciated by many parents.

The price is a bit high on this game, but five year olds that love Spiderman are going to have a blast playing this game.

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Games

The LeapFrog Leapster has some Spiderman goodness for 5 year olds. The original Spider-Man game and Spider-Man The Case of the Sinister Speller are sure to be hits with little ones.

Of course, you’re going to need to have the LeapFrog Leapster console to play these games.  If you already have a LeapFrog, these two games will be liked by five year olds and will teach them lessons at the same time. (Way to go Spidey!)

Memory Spider-man and Friends Edition

Ah, the classic memory game, this time with Spidey and friends. The game includes 72 character cards, storage tray and instructions. “The city is in trouble and these super heroes need to help, but first you must find them!” Exciting! Well, for a five year old, but that’s the point. Good choice as a Spiderman gift for a five year old – girl or boy.

Spiderman, Spiderman

does whatever a spider
spins a web any size
catches thieves just like flies

Look out!
here comes the Spiderman

is he strong?
listen bud
hes got radioactive blood
can he swing from a thread
take a look overhead
hear that?
there goes the Spiderman

in the chill of night
at scene of the crime
like a streak of light,
he arrives just in time

spiderman, spiderman

friendly neighborhood Spiderman
wealth and fame, he’s ignored
action is his reward

look out
there goes the spiderman …

Fisher-Price has released a camera that promises to last any bump or bruise. The Kid-Tough Digital Camera is not the old fashioned 35 mm toy cameras of the 90s; it is a real digital camera. We all know how kids yearn to play with the camera their parents take pictures with – now they can!

The Kid-Tough Digital Camera is easy for kids to use and has a durable protective frame work, allowing it to withstand any fall or throw. The viewfinder is especially engineered as a two-eye viewfinder, making it simple for kids to look through. Although the camera may look huge and awkward, the design was created as an easy grip for small hands, perfect for kids!

The extra long buttons are great for small fingers to press and capture beloved moments. With an LCD preview screen and 64 MB of internal memory, the camera runs off of 4 AAA batteries and is compatible with most Windows and Mac computers. The camera comes in two colors, pink for girls and blue for boys.

While this toy that disguises as a camera seems nearly unbreakable, the question still lingers as to whether or not it is worth the expense. The camera is available for around $40. Based on all the camera has to offer, it is definitely worth the price. While the pictures may not be of high quality, it is a better option than having kids actually play with the expensive family camera. It is guaranteed to last longer than other toys do. Plus, parents and kids can enjoy viewing the photos taken on a computer or laptop.

From trains and monorails on railroads, to cars on roads, Fisher-Price has created a play set that takes kids into a wonderful world of transportation. While typically thought of as a toy only for boys, girls can have fun with Geotrax as well.

GeoTrax are durable and very easy to assemble. The Snap-Lock track snaps together and stays in place through rough play. This also allows for kids to mix and match play sets, able to make a huge world of transport through a make believe city.

The remote controller is easy to use, allowing kids to learn hand-eye coordination skills. Various social skills and value of an individual’s role in society are just two of many other lessons your child is bound to learn with this educational toy.

The top Fisher-Price GeoTrax is the GeoAir High Flying Airport. No longer are kids restricted to playing with GeoTrax with just land transportation. They are now able to go soaring with GeoAir. By connecting the Jumbo airplane on the runaway, kids can create a figure eight on the air track. This airport is fueled by creativity as kids can fuel up, board, go through a security check and “ride” an elevator.

The GeoAir is offered at various prices, with the Deluxe Mega set a little higher. Parents can enjoy this toy that will last for many hours of play time. The tracks are durable enough for small children to step on them without having them break. Also, the easy assembly will not require parental supervision. The pieces in the play sets are big enough to prevent a safety hazard for all but the smallest of children. This one-of-a-kind play set is one that your child, boy or girl, will be sure to love!
