Giant Retro Space Hopper • $23.99 • Ages 10+
Dr. Toy Best Picks Children’s Products 2010
This bright orange and utterly irresistible hopper comes from the UK Science Museum. With a grownup’s help, inflate this giant ball with the enclosed foot pump. Get comfortable, hold on to the horns and bounce away! Kids use the elasticity of the space hopper to amplify their muscle power. This giant hopper expands to a whopping 31.5 inches for bigger kids.

Hologram Chamber • $8.99 • Ages 5+
Dr. Toy Best Picks Children’s Products 2010
Like something from a Harry Potter chapter, place any object in this chamber and see it appear to hover. Created by the UK Science Museum, this chamber creates an optical illusion, tricking you into thinking a reflection is the real object! Try any object and witness 3-D images appear to float.

Solar Airship • $15.99 • Ages 5+
Dr. Toy Best Picks Children’s Products 2010
On a bright sunny day take this airship kite outdoors and watch it fly. From the UK Science Museum, this cleverly designed toy doesn’t require pumps, gas, puffs or hassle! It’s so simple to use – inflates and rises outdoors due to the laws of physics, as it is easily explained in the instructions. It flies like a kite-- so hold on tightly! A tether line, 2 cable ties and controller are included.
