Design & Drill Activity Center (ages 4-6+) This set fulfills two childhood needs at once – the desire to create beautiful patterns, and the desire to use “grown up” tools.

Gripables Comfortable Cutlery (ages 3+) These 3-piece sets of silverware were designed by the manufacturers of the Pencil Grip (which teach children how to hold writing implements correctly) and feature very “grip-able” soft, round handles. Unlike eating utensils with two flat sides, these can be held at whatever angle works best for your child, without being uncomfort- able. Being able to position these at different angles is very helpful in discouraging spoons from being flipped upside down, or food spilling off the fork halfway to the mouth. How do we know this? We’ve tested them on the grandchildren! Small-sized for small people, the silverware sets include a fork with blunt ends, a spoon and a knife. The ends of the utensils are metal, while the bodies are soft plastic, striped with white and one of the colors below.

Little Adventures Costumes (ages 1-10) From personal experience, we know that favorite dress-ups are a hot commodity, worn over and over and OVER again. While we have wanted to offer reasonably priced dress-ups for some time, we have kept our eyes open for the most practical selection. These beautiful, durable, and modest costumes fit the bill. They are all designed by moms, constructed out of durable and comfortable fabrics, and machine-washable (but hang dry). Unlike much of what you see around the stores in October, these are made to last, and most feature a looser, stretchier fit for flexible sizing. So, if Mom’s time is at a premium and those repurposed formals from the thrift store are torn and grungy, you might consider one of these as a special treat for your dress-up-loving child.

Actually, ZipBins are all three-in-one! ZipBins consist of differently-shaped, themed containers with fold- out play mats and at least one toy inside. The scenery is bright and colorful and when you’re done playing, simply place the toys on the mat, fold it up, and zip the container closed. There are several product lines to choose from. The Classic sets come in square storage bins ranging in size from approx. 12” x 10 ”x 7” to 18” x 14” x 11” and have zip down corners that allow bin to transform into play mats of various sizes. Minis are similar to the Classic sets, except smaller in size (approx. 9” x 7” x 5”). The Shapes series features containers shaped like objects (such as a horse stable), and the Backpacks allow you to carry the ZibBins on your back. These portable playsets have plenty of room to add your own small toys, too.

Simple to learn, you place the perch on the table and randomly stack all of the chickens, wagon wheels, and hay bales along its length (pieces can be stacked in any way, and each game will probably be quite different). Next you pick up the perch and balance it on the rounded base – careful, it will rock back and forth some! Now, starting with the youngest player, you take turns collecting chickens, hay bales, and wagon wheels. The game ends when either all of the pieces have been removed from the perch, or when a player causes the perch to topple.

Gridlock Game (ages 5+) The city streets are jammed, and yet the fire truck, ambulance, police car, and mayor’s limo all have important places to be. In this cooperative game, players work together to clear the streets for the important vehicles and then get all the traffic parked. Two levels of play are possible with just a flip of the board. In the Jr. version, players need only worry about the traffic and getting each vehicle into one of four possible parking spaces designed for that vehicle.

Forbidden Island (ages 10+) 15.00 Band together with your fellow players and race around a sinking island, trying to capture the hidden 016968 ...... 11 .95 treasures and escape before it all disappears under the churning sea! This innovative cooperative game consists of 24 beautifully illustrated, double-sided island tiles, four treasure figurines, Treasure cards, Flood cards, Adventurer cards, pawns, and a water meter. To begin, lay out the island tiles, draw six Flood cards (which correspond to island tiles), and flip those tiles to their blue-shaded “underwater” side. At this point, players are randomly dealt Adventurer cards, each of which has a slightly different role and abilities. As the game begins, players (although taking turns) act as a team to accomplish treasure-gathering, shoring up flooded tiles, and (hopefully!) keeping everyone on stable parts of the island. On each turn, players can take several actions including moving, shoring up flooded tiles, giving Treasure cards to another player, or capturing a treasure. Then they must draw Treasure cards and Flood cards. This is the most unpredictable part, as you may trigger a rising water level which increases the number of Flood cards you have to draw every turn! If tiles aren’t shored up and a Flood card matching that tile is drawn again, the tile is permanently removed from the island. It’s a race against time to gather the treasures and leave the island as a group. If you lose a treasure or a teammate to the water, the game is over. Truly unique, this pulse- ive rat pounding game is slightly different every time you play! Highly, highly recommended. For 2-4 players. pe oo C 048359 ...... 18.00 13 .25 - s e m See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. a 53 G

Portrayal (ages 10+) If you think you are a good artist, well, that won’t matter in this game! If you can’t draw at all, don’t worry, you can still be a top contender! In each round a different person is the “Portrayer.” The Portrayer takes a card and slips it into the provided pocket so only the drawing on the top part of the card is visible. The Portrayer starts the 90 second timer and then quickly tries to describe the picture. The other players try to duplicate the picture as best as they can based only on the instructions given to them by the Portrayer. These are not simple pictures either – some of them are downright wacky, others are totally random, and all of them have more details than you’ll ever be able to capture in 90 seconds! After the 90 seconds are up, the Portrayer takes the card out of the pocket so he can now see the 10 criteria listed on the bottom half. He reads these criteria out loud one at a time to the other players, who grade each other’s artwork, not on how well it is drawn, but on whether or not it fits the criteria. For example, the picture may be of a cat sitting in an armchair knitting, and there is a mouse on the back of the chair and one lying on the floor. However, as mentioned the pictures have lots of details, and since the criteria is hidden you’ll never know which ones were important to mention! Some of the criteria may read “1. The cat is wearing spectacles.” “2. The armchair is striped.” “3. The mouse on top of the armchair is smiling.” Once everyone has had a chance to act as the Portrayer, players total their scores to see who won – and it could well be the person whose drawings ve ati are the “worst,” so long as they paid close attention to the frenzied directions given to them!

Apples to Apples A favorite at our house, this hilarious word association game often gets us laughing! The game is centered around two decks of red apple cards and one deck of green apple cards. First, 7 red apple cards are dealt to each player. These contain nouns like "William Shakespeare," "a locker room," "Green Bay Packers," or "chimpanzees." One player is chosen to be a judge, and they flip up one of the green apple cards with an adjective on it, such as "awkward," "obnoxious," or "fabulous." Then each player must select the card in their hand best resembling that adjective, and the "judge" decides whose card best fits that adjective, thus winning that player the green apple card. The player with the most green apple cards wins. New crazy associations are made every turn, and some of the unlikeliest matches will make everyone laugh! 4-10 players recommended.

Gotcha! (ages 14+) You’ll need a sharp mind and a quick hand to win this game! The general idea is that there are two “rules” which apply throughout the game, but the challenge is that these rules are constantly changing as players play cards. Each rule consists of two parts – who the rule applies to (i.e. all females, anyone wearing black, etc.), and what the rule is (i.e. must say “your honor” before speaking, must salute before drawing a card, etc.). To win the game, you must be the first person to reach the finish line on the board – you move forward by catching other people breaking rules, but you move backwards if someone catches you breaking a rule! The first player chooses a card from their hand to change part of one of the rules. Then they draw a new card from their deck and play passes to the next player. Play continues until someone reaches the finish line – most likely the player who can manage to ly mi keep one eye on the rules and one eye on their opponents! For 3-8 players.

Sort It Out! The Game of Putting Things in Order (ages 7+) If someone gave you a list of landmarks including Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower could you put these in order of when they were built? That’s the idea behind Sort It Out! – you don’t have to know the answers, just put them in order! Every player receives a cardboard card with slots cut out, and a group of five colored tiles that match the items on the question card. When a question is read, players take their tiles and secretly arrange them on their card to answer. When everyone has decided on an order, they display their cards, and players advance around the board based on how many of the choices they placed correctly. The questions involve topics from science, geography, math, common knowledge, sports, pop culture and more. The tactile ordering process and fact that everyone is playing every round makes it fun for the whole family – even people who dislike trivia games. The original game includes over 300 question cards, and 2-6 players can participate.

Settlers of Catan (ages 9+) This game is the perfect blend of strategy and luck. Strategy is important, but a roll of the die can cause even the most astute plan to falter or bol- ster a weak position. What really makes this game unique is that the game board is different every time you play which keeps the game fresh and the strategy ever-changing. Players each represent a group of settlers trying to establish themselves on the isle of Catan. To settle, you have to produce resources with which you can continue developing. The board consists of 19 hexagonal tiles, each of which represents a resource (lumber, brick, ore, grain or wool and one desert tile), which fit into a larger hexagonal frame depicting the sea. Number tokens, ranging from 2-12, are placed on each tile. Each player has a set of colored wooden settlements, roads and cities to use in their development of Catan. The game begins with an initial settlement phase, where each player gets to place two settlements on the corners of the resource hexagons, so that each settlement sits on an intersection of three different resources. Players also attach one road segment to each of their settlements, which can branch out on any path. At this point, with each player’s turn typically consists of three “phases”: rolling the two dice (the number rolled determines which resources are produced for that turn, and any player with a settlement on that tile receives resources), trading (for resources you the player needs), and building (using the resource cards in their hand to build roads, settlements, cities or buy development cards). The object of the game is to be the first player to reach 10 points, which are accumulated through developments like settlements, cities, having the longest road or largest army, etc.. Though this is a brief synopsis of the basic game, you will quickly see there is more to the game. Development cards can prove advantageous to the holder and detrimental to others; the robber could rob you of needed resources, and building on a harbor can provide you a more favorable exchange rate for trading. There are many different routes to victory, and those who conquer them will successfully settle the isle of Catan. 3-4 players, game time is approximately 60 minutes.

By the same makers as Quarto! this tricky game Invented by famed puzzlist Ivan Moscovich, this challenging challenges players to move their pawns from one side of the square board game requires players to think quickly in multiple dimensions and to the other. Each player has one pawn, and they must move one space with accurate foresight. 60 challenge cards feature colored spheres at a time across the board.

Tri-Cross (ages 11+) Can you hold the Tri-Cross square for four turns? 2-4 players vie in this game of capturing, maneuvering, and strategy. Each player has a hierarchy of pieces, six to one, designated by the number of crosses along the back. Each piece can capture anything weaker than it, with the exception of the six, which can’t capture the one, and the one, which can only capture the six. Each player starts at the four corners of the cross-shaped board, with the object – the Tri- Cross – at the center. Each piece can only move one space at a time, and if it ends up next to a piece it can capture (or if a piece it can capture ends up next to it), it has to jump over and capture it. Within those rules, dozens of different strategies are possible – lead your enemies into a trap by sac- rificing weaker pieces, make an all-out dash for the Tri-Cross, or move slowly and surely across the board.

Khet 2 0. Laser Game (ages 9+) As with chess, the goal of this game is to get your opponent’s king – or pharaoh in this case. That is where the similarities end. Your turn consists of moving one of your pieces, either to an adjacent square or in a quarter rotation in the same square, and then pressing the button to activate your laser. The idea is to move your pieces with angled mirrors in such a way as to “illuminate,” and thus “kill,” your opponent’s pieces – eventually “illuminating” his pharaoh. When you activate your laser, it can reflect off your pieces as well as your opponent’s pieces, so all pieces in the laser’s path need to be considered on your turn. The strategy requires a lot of careful planning, as you must activate your laser at the end of every turn – whether you are ready to or not! Newly revised for 2011, the entire game is smaller and lighter-weight and lasers “fire” out of sphinx pieces. y teg ra 046333 ...... 39.95 34 .95 St - s e m a G See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. 63

The game includes a board portraying two of each card (in a regular playing deck) excluding the jokers, two decks of playing cards, and three colors of playing chips. Each player starts out with five cards in their hand, with the object being to be the first player to create a sequence of five of their colored chips in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). Draw- ing a jack allows a player to either remove an opponent's chip from the board or play their own wherever they desire. This is an exciting game of strategy the whole family can enjoy. Ours did!

Pack & Stack (ages 10+) Loading the trucks in this game will be more of a strain on your brain than on your back! This unique and entertaining game is quick to learn and offers a well-balanced combination of luck, strategy, and speed. The pieces consist of point chips, rods in lengths of 1-5 (color coded), five dice (in the same five colors as the rods) and 30 truck cards. To play, each player receives 75 points in point chips. Then, each player takes a turn rolling all five dice in the ‘Receiving Loads’ phase. Each die tells you how many rods you must take of that particular color. For example, the ‘3’ rods are brown. If you roll a 2 on the brown die, then you take 2 of the brown rods. Once each player has had a chance to roll the dice and everyone has collected all of their rods, you move in to the ‘Picking Trucks’ phase. Each player draws a truck card face down from the draw pile. Each truck card features cargo space in a different size and shape. A white space designates the shape of the cargo area, and a number on the truck tells how tall the cargo area is (from 1-4). All of the players turn their trucks over at the same time and then race to pick a truck from those displayed. The key is to grab the truck that will most efficiently fit your load (the rods you received in the previous round). In the next phase, everyone loads the trucks they have chosen. The goal is to fit all of your cargo in the space, and points are deducted for unused space as well as rods that you could not fit in your truck. In the final phase the players must pay the bank for their deductions. A new round begins, and the game continues until someone runs out of points. When this happens, whoever has the most points left wins the game. For 3-6 players. 050163 ...... 49.00 24 .25

Castle Keep (ages 8+) In this "Game of Medieval Strategy and A . Siege," you are transported back in time to the B . Middle Ages, trying to decide on a strategy to defend your land. Should you focus on building your own castle, or attack your other power-hungry neighbors before they attack you? To win the game, you must be the first player to complete a 9-tile castle (in a 3x3 grid). To begin, each player is dealt four castle tiles, which may include towers, walls, or keeps. Towers and walls have different attributes, and must be similar by one of these to be connected. The towers and walls can be red, purple, or yellow and either curvy, zigzag, or straight. So you could start with a curvy purple tower, and add on a purple zigzag wall, or a yellow curvy wall, and so on. On each player's turn, they draw two more tiles from the draw pile, and then either build on to their Mastermind (ages 8+) castle, or attack a neighbor's castle by playing a wall card identical to one in their castle.

Bananagrams (ages 6+) If you like the idea of Scrabble but wish the game moved along much faster, try Bananagrams! You compete against up to 7 other players, but unlike Scrabble, you create your own crosswords and everyone plays at once. Select your tiles, turn them over, and start making connecting and intersecting words. All letters are the same point value, and you can rearrange your words at any time. When any player has played all his letters, he takes a new tile from the Bunch, as do all the other players. If a player cannot play a letter, he can put the tile back and draw three other tiles. Play continues until there are fewer tiles in the Bunch than there are players. The first player to play all his tiles is the winner of that round (if all his words are correct). Rounds typically take 5-10 minutes, and games consist of as many rounds as you decide. Variations of the game are also possible, even a solitaire game.

Professor Noggin's Card Games (ages 7+) It's easy to turn any family game night into a trivia competition with these educational card games. But, wait, you say - won't Mom and Dad always win? I mean, they know everything! Well, not necessarily. Each game features trivia questions at two levels; an easy level for young children or people with virtually no knowledge of the topic, and a hard level for adults or older kids that might know a little more than they let on. Games consist of 30 sturdy, illustrated question cards, a three-numbered dice, and instructions. Each card contains six different questions - three in both the hard and easy categories. To play, mix up the cards, place in a pile, and the first reader will roll the die to see which question the first player will answer. The reader will ask that player the question indicated on the die (from either the easy or the hard group), and if the player answers correctly, they get to keep it. Play passes to the next player, and a different player takes a turn acting as the reader. With a huge number of game topics, there's a trivia game for just about any interest - and plenty that the whole family can enjoy together.

You can modify the number of dice, play solo or as a group for more variety.

Exact Change Game (ages 6+) This fun card game is simple to learn and easy to play – and as a bonus, kids will become more familiar with money. Game play is similar to Uno, with players trying to discard cards in their hands by matching either the color or money amount on the previously played card. Each player is dealt 7 cards and the rest of the deck becomes the draw pile, with one card overturned to start. The deck is composed of 110 cards, with cards featuring coins (from pennies to half dollars), $1.00 cards, wild cards, loose change cards (with varying amounts of odd change), tax collection cards, and bank withdrawal cards. Players can match the money amount by playing the same coin, by announcing “Exact Change” and playing several cards that add up to the previously played card, or by matching the color. If you cannot discard, you must draw cards until you can play. Wild cards can be anything, but you must announce the color and amount when you play Loose Change Game (ages 7+) them. Tax collection cards force all other players to draw one Kids will have fun practicing coin-counting skills card from the draw deck, and bank withdrawal cards forces an with this fast-playing card game.

Each coin card has a labeled color photo and they pick another player’s hand, total the cards of a coin (nickel, dime, quarter or 50 cent piece), the remaining and this becomes the balance in the lucky find cards have illustrations of a treasure chest bank account of the player who went out.

Mathable Game (ages 10+) Sharpen your math skills and have fun at the same time with this challenging board game. Mathable consists of building mathematical equations by placing number tiles on the game board. Players take turns drawing wooden number tiles and placing them in adjacent squares (next to other numbers) on the game board. A mathematical equation is completed by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing two adjacent numbers, then putting a number tile with the result next to the empty square—to the right, or left, below or above the two original tiles. For an additional challenge, some of the squares are marked with specific operational signs—meaning that players are restricted to making equations that correspond to the signs on the square. The total amount of points earned per turn is the total sum of the value of all tokens placed in that turn; the player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!

Bruce Blitz, the author and an established cartoonist, understands kids need more than just instruction in drawing cartoons - practice helps too! That's why he includes a meaty, 56-page instruction book, along with 50 practice sheets that help you practice what you learn - over and over again! The practice sheets, and clear plastic top sheet, slip easily into the included stand. Kids complete the practice sheets with the double-ended dry erase marker to gain confidence in their own cartooning skills. And when they're finished, they can erase their work and start again - maybe using a different facial expression or body type! This is a great set-up, as kids can "fill in the blanks" on partial cartoons on the practice sheets, without feeling like they have to start from scratch!

SkyRacers & SkyRyders Gliders (ages 6+) SkyRacers and SkyRyders are 12” foam gliders that are easy to assemble and resemble actual aircraft. SkyRacers are launched by a plastic rubber band “catapult” and lack a propeller. They can fly over 100 yards. SkyRyders feature a wooden stick “core” and a rubber band that attaches to the propeller. When the propeller is twirled, it winds up the rubber band and will fly up to 100 yards when released. A battery-powered winder is also available for the SkyRyders, if manually winding up the propeller gets a little old. Each kit contains several full-color foam glider pieces and decals, a nose attachment, and either a rubber band catapult or a propeller and rubber band. No glue or other supplies are needed, simply slide the pieces securely together, and you’re ready to fly! Whether you prefer the catapult or propeller powered planes, both are ready to fly after a quick assembly and have sturdy nose attachment to protect the gliders from front-end damage on landing. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1).
