Yesterday morning on Magic 106.5’s Magic Morning Show we discussed Nerf’s Vortex Ultra Light Football, with Peyton Manning autograph.
Click below to hear me talk about the ball that anyone can throw like a champ. Seriously, it has a tail that keeps it on course. We’ll have some video demos next week.

Today we review the Tooth Tunes and Tooth Tunes Jr. (for ages 3 & up)
There are a variety of songs available. Popular artists such as Kelly Clarkson and Hannah Montana for the older kids, and Disney songs on the Jr.
Essentially a song plays through the bristles to your jawbone, so that you hear the song in your inner ear. When you get it right, it sounds as if it’s playing right in your brain.
I also like how different it sounds in the next room, so you can tell if your kid is brushing for the full 2 minutes (1 minute on the Jr) or simply running the brush under the faucet.
Here is their official site with all of the health information. We got this for $10 at CVS/Wal*Mart/Target.

Our final verdict is that it’s great for the kids just learning to brush. The music definately gets them to want to brush longer, however older kids/teenagers may never see brushing as cool, but enjoyed the contemporary tunes.

We discussed this toothbrush on Magic 106.5 this morning. Click below to hear the broadcast.

So this week I chatted about the ATC3K Action Cam by Oregon Scientific. To me, the coolest benefit is that if your preteen is getting to that age where they don’t want to be as physically active (swimming, biking, playing sports) but would rather goof around online with friends, you can bring both worlds together by introducing this shock resistant, waterproof helmet cam. Strap it to your bike helmet, or attach it to your skateboard, you can make some cool videos ready to go straight on to YouTube.

This set of laser tag guns are intended for older kids… but how funny is it that a good way to get your kids away from the video games… is by role playing a video game… har har. Check me out in all my “dynamic music and editing” and my brother in law.

Avast ye scurvy dogs. Sure ‘n ye be wantin’ ta know what the final entry in the billion-dollar franchise be like. Whether it be a worthy addition to yer DVD treasure trove? Sure and it is. Sure and it is.
At World’s End starts off setting a grimmer tone than its predecessors, no mean feat when said movies feature undead pirates and cursed sea monster sailors. The masterful attention to detail that made the previous movies such visual treats is likewise found here. The special effects are out of this world.

Though these came out in stores a short while ago, I’m seeing them pop up in more Sunday circulars, (reminder… BIG Toys R Us Big Book this Sunday!) and we’re getting into the holiday rush, so I thought I’d review them.

Growing up, I wasn’t into RC cars. I actually didn’t like any toys that needed batteries, because it seemed they weren’t fun without batteries, and it seemed that batteries died a lot. Anyway, now that I’m reviewing toys all the time, I get to try out some sweet Remote Control toys.  Now some of the things I get most excited about at Toy Fair are the sweet RC vehicles. Here are a handful of video podcasts about RC vehicles I’ve reviewed.
