1. Kinect For Xbox 360

One of the hottest toys this year round is certainly the Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360. This is the latest ground-breaking technology that takes video games to a whole new level.

Just plug in the Kinect Sensor to your Xbox 360 console, jump in front of the sensor and you become the controller. You use voice and hand gestures to navigate menus and select options. During game play, the game responds to every move of your body just as if you're in the game itself.

Now playing video games can be a healthy activity because you are exercising physically. This is great fun for the entire family.

If you already have an Xbox 360, you can just get the Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures package. If you don't have the Xbox 360 yet, you can get the Xbox 360 250GB Kinect bundle which comes with everything you need to experience the Kinect.

Imaginext Big Foot The Monster from Fisher-Price is a remote-control doll that your kid can control to perform a range of acrobatic tricks and express different emotions.

Just by pressing a few buttons with picture icons (instead of words) on a footprint-shaped remote control, your child can make Big Foot walk, talk, roll, tumble, and make funny noises. He also comes with a red ball which you can make him throw from his hand.

Your little one will be amused and entertained for hours with his hilarious antics!

The MobiGo Touch Learning System from VTech is a portable handheld gaming system that lets kids play and learn at the same time.

It uses touch-screen technology and also a slide-out QWERTY keyboard so it looks a bit like a kid-friendly notebook PC. It is suitable for children from 3 to 9 years old, and helps develop a range of basic skills as well as an active imagination.

The MobiGo comes with a game cartridge that goes into a slot on the back. This cartridge has a few learning games, and each one can be played in easy or difficult mode. Additional games can be downloaded via an included USB cable and any PC installed with the VTech download manager software. Moreover, new game cartridges with other popular characters, themes and learning curriculum are sold separately.

The MobiGo is a versatile learning device that won't get outdated quickly but can grow to follow the child's progressive learning needs. Parents can also set up a user profile on VTech's website to track their kid's learning progress.

This is a wonderful toy that is both entertaining and educational!

The Cuddle Chimp from FurReal Friends is one of the bestsellers from FurReal Friends line-up of realistic animated animals. If your kid aspires to be a veterinarian or wildlife conservationist, this will be perfect. Even if your child doesn't have such lofty ambitions, this is still a really cute fun toy to play with.

The Cuddle Chimp makes sounds and movements like a real chimp. Hug him and he hugs you back. He claps his hands when he gets excited. Feed him with the included bottle and he makes slurping sounds just like he's drinking. You also get an adoption certificate as the proud owner of this lovable, cuddly little fellow.

The iXL 6-in-1 Learning System from Fisher-Price is a cool hand-held learning system for kids aged 3 to 7. It has 6 applications: Digital Book Reader, Game Player, Digital Art Book, MP3 Music Player, Notepad and Photo Viewer.

It opens up like a book, and has big buttons and easy-to-understand menu options so even young kids will have no problems learning how to use it.

The Digital Reader helps your child to practise reading and comprehension with an interactive 15-page story, available in either the reading or interactive mode.

When it's time to take a break, the Game Player has a three-level arcade game that teaches counting, sequences and numbers.

The Notepad mode lets kids practice writing the alphabet, while young artists can explore their creativity with the Art Studio's digital tools.

The iXL also includes an MP3 Player with five preloaded children songs, and a Photo Viewer with three sample images that can be edited and manipulated.

Lego is a brand that has certainly stood the test of time. I remember playing with Lego sets as a kid and now it's my kid's turn to play with them.

Lego started with very simple generic building sets, and has now expanded to include a diverse range of thematic sets that follow characters and stories from popular movies.

You can find Star Wars sets that feature starfighters, droids, storm troopers, and Jedi warriors.

Now Lego has also entered into the magical world of Harry Potter to bring you all the well-known characters and scenes from the movie series. You can build your own Hogwarts Castle, recreate Quidditch matches, and help Harry fight the forces of evil.

The V.Reader Animated E-book System is like an Amazon Kindle for kids. It helps kids aged 3 to 7 to read and improve their vocabulary skills. Young readers will find the interface very user-friendly and easy to navigate with its big colorful buttons and a touch screen with accompanying V.Reader pen.

The plastic body is strong and durable with a transparent screen cover that can open to allow access to the touch screen, and close to protect the screen. The corners are rounded and there is rubberized plastic all round the edges to absorb the impact from knocks and bumps. There is a headphone jack for readers to listen to the stories privately, and a DC power jack if you don't want to use the batteries.

There are a number of activities available that are both educational and fun. Kids can watch a story as each line is read aloud; play reading games that involve reading comprehension, rhyming and syllables; and use the dictionary feature with a complete list of vocabulary words from the story. Parents can also download additional learning material from a companion website with the included USB cable, and monitor their child's learning progress.

Overall, this is a well-designed educational toy that will keep kids entertained for hours.

Which kid hasn't had the fantasy of being a spy on a dangerous secret mission? Now your kid can live out this fantasy with his very own James Bond-like gadget: the Secret Mission Video Watch from Spy Net.

Don't be fooled- this is not just some cheap pretend video watch that doesn't record anything. This high-tech spy watch actually has a built-in real video camera and microphone to capture over 20 minutes of video with audio. It comes with a USB cable to interface with a website to download "secret missions".

Parents beware: now you have to be especially careful what you say and do because your little one can capture everything as evidence to be used against you. :)

It may sound disgusting to let a kid play with a toy garbage truck, but if your kid is anything like mine, the more disgusting the more he'll love it. This is no ordinary garbage truck either. Stinky is a garbage truck with an attitude!

The driver's cab can turn like a head, and his front wheels can rear up like a playful puppy's paws. He has a lovable personality which he expresses with over 90 phrases and songs. Parts on his body like the smokestack, rear door and a "belly button" can be pressed to elicit a response.

What does Stinky do best? Why, eat garbage of course! The grille of his cab acts like a mouth through which you can feed small items. You can also drop items into the big green trash compartment, and he'll dump it out the rear door when you pull his smokestack.

If your kid likes cars or trucks, then he'll definitely love Stinky!
