RAZOR 360 FLASH RIDER (Razor USA)
The Razor 360 Flash Rider is a lowrider bike. It is red and silver and looks really cool. You can do a 360 without crashing. I like the way it can make sparks come out when you pull the spark lever on the bike. I thought this was an exciting bike. I love this because I've been wanting it since it came out. I think other kids will really want this bike, too -- especially boys.

CINDERELLA'S PRINCESS CARRIAGE DOLL (Mattel / Disney)
Nice toy. This was perfect for my 2-year-old cousin, Lesly. The carriage is blue, and it has an orange sack. It also has a horse and a princess doll. The doll has a blue dress and a heart. The heart lights ups and says, "Yeah, I'm a princess."
I think it's perfect for young girls like my cousin because she likes putting the doll on the horse. She laughed when she pressed the heart to make it talk.

TWIRLY Q'S (Klutz Publishers)
Have you ever had a book/toy you can make animals with? You can with Twirly Q's. This is an amazing toy. It comes with colorful cardboard strips and glue. The shaping tool helps you make the animals. It comes with stickers that help detail the face. There is also a book that shows you how to make the different animals, such as a mouse, a penguin, or a plump bunny. I also like it because I can make my favorite animals. Careful, though, the glue is messy.

GELARTI (Moose Toys)
Gelarti art is great. I tested two boxes of stuff: One of the boxes says Paint & Decorate peel-off stickers, the other box says Fun-Filled activity booklet. Both of the Gelarti boxes have Gelarti paint. The first box has three different paint colors. I liked the toy because I love art. Gelarti is all about art. You have to color, decorate and have fun. This was one of the first toys I played with. Gelarti is a very exciting toy to have. For kids who love art, this is a must- have.
