Apparently the stick was just inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame because a child’s imagination can turn it into just about anything. But make that stick in a variety of bright colors and capable of leaving a trail of wax when dragged across a surface, and you’d have a product on the fast track to toy immortality; namely these crayon sticks. Yeah, they may cost you about $35 more than what you’d pay for the 64 pack of conventional crayons with that snazzy built in sharpener, but hey… sticks!

This is a true ship’s tender replica which is really a cradle for rocking your baby to sleep while also preparing his stomach for puke-free father/son fishing trips in the future. When he gets older, you can remove the tender from the cradle suspension system and use it as a wagon by adding a $300 wagon conversion. You may think something like this would help your children develop a love of all things nautical, but if your kid happens to be an unruly little shit you may have just enabled him to wreak havoc on land and sea. Unless this little boat doesn’t float, then you’ll have a whole new set of problems. Check out the rocking cradle after the break.
Rather than picking dead cockroaches out of your pool, throw one in with this Giant Inflatable Cockroach Pool Float. Since it seems you can never eradicate the damn things, join the crowd and use them to your advantage. Float comes complete with hairy legs and antennae for additional handholds.

The goalkeeper is movable, so if you really want a challenge you will need to have a partner join you.
