Razor Jetts Heel Wheels

Nancy L. said: Transform any pair of sneakers into the coolest way to move with these Razor Jetts heel wheels. Ready to go out of the box, simply slip them onto the back of a sneaker with the quick-click frame and hook-and-loop strap. These feature real sparking action with removable and replaceable spark pads.

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe

Alexandra F. said: I still remember the thrill of going to Toys R Us and riding this guy around the wheeled toys section when I was a kid, and each of my own kids has loved riding this classic toy car around our driveway as well! Beloved by toddlers (and even bigger kids!) for decades, the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe is a staple in most family homes for good reason. Plus, it holds up very well over years and multiple kids, and is a great garage sale purchase!

Slick Tricks Bubble Set

Kelly R. said: This bubble tricks kit contains everything you need to create 20 different kinds of epic bubbles, from enormous elongated bubbles to little ones that can be bounced on a gloved hand. My kids have had a lot of luck recreating the tricks, many with no help from mom and dad.

Step2 Play & Shade Pool

christadiserio said: We have this pool and my daughter absolutely loves it during the warmer months. When it's hot out, there's nothing more she loves to do than to be submerged in cool water and play with water toys in her mini-me pool. If it's not warm enough outside to be submerged in water but still warm enough to be outdoors, this pool also doubles as a ball pit! Just buy some balls and your child will have a "ball" playing outside on a beautiful day!
