This plastic model rocket (with a mean '50's Sci-Fi/Retro look) can fly up to 100 feet using only water and air pressure as "rocket fuel". Set comes complete with 8" rocket, air pump and fuel feeder. Adult supervision is recommended. -- Where's the Science? -- A water rocket employs a compressed gas to accelerate water through its nozzle as a means of propulsion. The water inside the motor is essentially stationary and is accelerated to the velocity at the nozzle expressed by Bernoulli's equation: P = ½ pV2(the two is squared).

8 Ideas Baby Toy For the Bath

Some babies would spend their entire first year in the bath if they were allowed; others treat the bath as if it is a pot of boiling oil! Interesting and age-appropriate baby toys for the bath can make the difference between a happy, positive and relaxing time of day and a stressful and scream-filled one. Today we check out 8 awesome toys made just for bath time!
1. Bath books
For wee ones who love to wallow in a nice warm bath, like bath books are a great option for bath time. They are also a lot more relaxing than other splash- or action-oriented bath baby toys, which can sometimes wind kids up before bed.
2. Bath stacking cups
You can use these from birth, to pour water over your little one, and as they get older they can be used for their intended purpose of stacking! Most ordinary stackable toys aren't bath-suitable, as they aren't heavy enough.
3. Waterslides
Just the miniature-sized version... I'm not suggesting you take your baby to the waterslide park every time they need a wash! Miniature baby toy waterslides have the action, the noise and the colours to distract kids who dislike bathing.
4. Hoops and balls
These are more for older babies and toddlers, but hoops and balls can be a very entertaining bath time game! If your baby or toddler has older siblings to show them how to use it, this bath baby toy will be a great learning experience.
5. Squirters
Squirters have been around since your baby's grandparents' time - they're a simple and very fun bath toy that will most likely never go out of fashion. You'll have to keep an eye on toddlers that can wrangle a squirter by themselves to make sure that your bathwater stays within the boundaries of the tub, though!
6. Rubber duckies and floating toys
There's so much imaginative play waiting to be invented with rubber duckies, boats, sharks and other floating toys for the bath. Young babies won't play with them by themselves, but once they can sit up and do some grasping they're a great way for you to get involved with your baby's bath time play.
7. Mountable mirrors
It isn't always worth getting a separate mirror for your bath, but if you're buying a mirrored baby toy anyway look for one that is water-safe. Mirrors are one of the few baby toys for the bath that younger kids will get some value out of as well.

Toy Boxes Baby Shower Gifts

Style and Storage
Your choice of toy box as gift largely depends on the style preference and the storage requirements of the baby's parents. You can do research by asking them regarding the nursery's theme and colors, assuming that you have close relations with them. Otherwise, you can inquire from family members about the parents' style preferences. From there, you can look into the various styles of toy boxes - with or without bench-type features, plain and solid colors or decorated and ornate panels, for boys or girls or unisex, personalized or non-personalized, and with or without cushions.
As to storage capacity, you have to remember that babies accumulate toys as they grow. Thus, your gift of a small toy box is perfect for infants with a few stuffed toys but not so for toddlers with a smorgasbord of toys. Again, you can ask the parents regarding the space constraints they might have in their home. Barring that, you can always opt for a medium-size toy box to be on the safe side.
Safety and Security
As much as you should consider the safety of the toys you will be stuffing inside toy boxes as your baby shower gifts, you also have to ensure that these boxes are safe for children. You can look out for these safety features:
- The paint used should be lead-free. You can ask the store regarding the origins of their toy chests - if these are from European countries and the US, you have the assurance of lead-free paint due to the strict standards imposed on their products.
- The lid should have a slow-closing metal safety hinge to prevent little fingers from injury caused by slamming lids. Also, you should avoid buying toy boxes with locks since children use them as hiding places. Better yet, look for a toy box with ventilation holes and handle cutouts that allow the free flow of oxygen in the event that the box does close accidentally with a child in it.
- Look for rounded edges and cushioned pads in toy boxes for added safety. You have to remember that sharp edges and hard surfaces cause more injury to children than they do for adults.
The baby's parents will definitely appreciate the care and patience you put into selecting the perfect toy box that will suit their baby's needs. Just imagine their happiness as your own when you receive this kind of gift on your own baby shower!
Now that you have chosen the perfect toy box to give, the next step is to actually put toys in it. You need not pack it to overflowing. Just a few stuffed toys, baby picture books, and age-appropriate educational toys will do perfectly so long as these are safe to use, too.
Just be prepared that with fully-accessorized and fully-stuffed toy boxes as gifts, you might not receive heartfelt thanks until the baby is about a year old! Then again, it will be one of the best appreciations you will ever receive for a baby shower gift.

Cheap Toy Cars For Kids

If you are a girl, you would probably be engrossed in playing with your Barbie dolls. As a boy, I am sure one of our favourite toys is actually the car toy. I guess the thing about toy cars is that they have got wheels. So the fascination is not just restricted to toy cars but also all other toys with wheels in them.
The most popular toy vehicles I bet would be those like Hot Wheels and Micro Machines. Boys would love to crash cars or even race them. Sometimes the play sets would include race tracks or make use of the pull of gravity such that the toy cars would move swiftly down from a height. Then there are those launchers which either work via a spring or be operated by battery or electricity. They can charge up your car and cause it to be powered and move at great speed!
Then there are some simple play sets which include the normal stuff that vehicles would encounter in daily life, like expressways, petrol kiosks, parking lots and what not's. Such are the inventions of the toy makers. Not to forget the many interesting train sets that are also included under the category of toys with wheels! There are so many different train models to choose from, and how you lay the tracks also counts! All this contribute to endless fun for the kids.
Talking about car toys, one must also not forget the physical cars that can be used to transport babies or young kids! What I am trying to say here are those mini cars or vehicles that are actually big enough for a child to sit in. Some of these actually come powered while others the child would have to use his or her leg powers! These toys are fun and sometimes the shopping centre even has trolleys that look like a car toy for the children to sit in as the parent pushes the trolley and goes about doing her supermarket grocery shopping! Oh then we also should not forget toy vehicles that are remote controlled! Wonder who is the genius who invented this such that the toy car can actually move without our hands touching them and even better so when we can control them from a distance and tell the car where to go!
