Dunhill Presents The World’s Most Extravagant Connect Four Game

Correction — Score 4, technically, is Alfred Dunhill's name for this luxury toy, but anyone familiar with the old plastic standby knows the source material. While this clearly isn't meant for the kids' playroom (unless your kid happens to be Richie Rich), it seems a little silly for such a simple game to sit anywhere else. Check it out at...

Tough Luck, Kid

We've just wrapped up a riveting game of Memory, in which all the cards feature toddler versions of superheroes like Spiderman, Captain America, and the one Noah, my four-year-old opponent, calls the Hunk when Noah stands and turns to his dad, busy reading the newspaper, and announces "Daddy, I won!"

There are almost 100 games to play with while you wait for your meal at a restaurant or at home. There is a push-button light but it doesn't emit any sound. The light stops by i...

Rhino Rampage a Rip-Roaring Riot

So easy to play, a preschooler could master it, Rhino Rampage also has built-in appeal for slightly older kids -- although, as is typical with this sort of stacking-and-placing chance game, that appeal might be limited to a round or two. The object is to roll a die and be the first one to move your birds to safety atop the rhino's back. You...

7 Days Of Video Games- Fun Freebies

My son is almost two and he loves TV and video games. (So damn you American Academy of Pediatrics for making me feeling like a completely inadequate mother for letting him indulge in a little, not overly excessive, screen time.) But since the whims of toddlers are unpredictable I don't believe in spending too much on toys or games. If it's free it'...
