Activity Rocks
This little science set introduces four seemingly normal rocks, each with a hidden talent: one floats, one's a magnet, one can create sparks, and another grows its own sparkly crystals.
Rubber Kickball

Slamwich
In this card-slapping game, kids use bread-shaped cards to make sandwiches, or Slamwiches, while they sharpen memory, sequencing, and hand-eye coordination skills.
