I still don’t get the idea of a traditional piggy bank where you need a hammer to smash its porcelain body to bits and pieces, suffering the same fate as Humpty Dumpty when he toppled over the wall. The Money Hammer Bank is another variation and holds at most, a few dollars. This certainly doesn’t make any financial sense considering the Money Hammer Bank itself retails for a whopping $60. I suspect that dollar bills would fare better than coins with this, but then the spirit would be missing if it wasn’t filled up with coins.

Whether you’re an adventurous parent who loves to take to the bunny ski slopes in winter, or a mom and dad who enjoy lazy afternoons on the beach in summer, lugging around a stroller in extreme terrain can be exhausting. Now, Picabo Street can take her baby on a gold medal downhill run while Pamela Anderson baywatches with her baby in the sand. That’s because taking a stroll in the freezing snow or going to the beach in the middle of summer with Safe Start Stroller Skis can make getting that baby stroller stuck a thing of the past.

Designed for use with newborns to toddlers of 24 months, the Safe Start Stroller Skis fasten easily to the wheels of your stroller, turning it into an outrigger of sorts. Then the stroller can slide smoothly over snow or sand with ease.

Getting a kid interested in technology at an early age is a good thing, after all, he/she is going to be immersed in it for their entire life. You might as well give them a bit of a headstart, and I don’t mean getting them a cell phone at age 6. I’m thinking more along the lines of the Marvel branded Ani-Movie Stop Motion Movie Maker– it shows your child how to make the most basic of movies and helps them develop some creativity (and patience!)

Parenting certainly isn’t easy, which is why this fantasy device is a surefire winner if it ever takes off (although probably never). The Control-a-Kid remote is the ultimate magic wand in parenting, operating on nothing but pure, unadulterated positive thinking. It comes with a wide range of buttons to keep your kid in rein, including “Stop Sulking”, “Stop Tantrums”, “Do Homework”, “Don’t Answer Back”, and “Kiss Granny” among others. I personally love the “Grow Up” button – it kinda reminds me of Adam Sandler in the movie Click.

What we have on offer today is the Super Deformed Star Wars Plush Toys that come with a gigantic cuddly head attached, making them look like retards more than anything else.

Now even toddlers can have their own remote control toy, the iBug, aimed at 3+ year old gadget lover.

That’s what makes iBug different. It has been lovingly designed and created with small children in mind. From their bold colours, flashing antennas, blinking eyes to their simple function and easy to hold controller, the Ibugs are wonderfully fun toys for children aged 3 and up.

You can get the iBug from PrezzyBox for £12.95 (~$25).

The problem kids have with Piggy Banks, unless they already have the breakable piggy bank, is that they never really know how much money they have in there unless they painstakingly shake every single penny, nickel, dime, and the occasional quarter out. Then, when they want that $5 thing you just won’t buy them, they spend 15 minutes counting only to end up $1.23 short. Please, please, please don’t let your child suffer like that for a moment longer, get them a nice cup to put their change in. Oh, sorry, I meant the Pig E Bank, an Electronic Piggy Bank. And it’s chrome, which I hear is the new pink (be on the lookout for that Chrome Zune! )
