Three more fun finds As Toy Fair Returned to the Javits Center in NYC! One Just In Time For Halloween!
We open the show one of the most popular booths at Toy Fair every year, Folkmanis Puppets!
Folkmanis Puppets are the most innovative, creative puppet maker in the world! At Toy Fair there’s always a ton of folks stopping by to see what’s new. They believe imagination, encouraging play and discovery helps to develop many necessary skills in life. The company has been making innovative and engaging specialty puppets since 1976, winning nearly every industry, child development, and kid-tested award, many repeatedly. And for the quality, you can believe the price as both Chad & I talk about each year. They start at about $10. Amazing. You’ll see many of the new puppets on this week’s show!

Kids Will Love These “Just Add” Stem Learning Kits.
These “Just Add” Art & Science Kits are designed for kids Age 8-12. Here’s a bit of info from the company. Unlock a world of scientific exploration & creative expression with these ingenious kits. Depending on the kit, kids can make their own candy and sugar cubes, then clean up with their own homemade soap. It’s the perfect choice for engaging kids in educational and fun-filled STEM experiences. At the show I saw Just Add Egg, Just Add Sun, Just Add Baking Powder, Just Add Soap and one Chad and I thought would be great fun, Just Add Fruits & Vegetables. I believe there are about a dozen different versions. Each kit comes fully loaded with everything you need for exciting at-home experiments, just add that missing ingredient. With detailed instructions provided in English, Spanish, and French, these stem kits are perfect for a diverse range of users.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for October. And that winning theme is Things That Glow In The Dark.
Chad 2nd gadget that glows in the dark is the 30 Watt, Glow-In-The-Dark Coasters.
These glowing coasters are said to light up your bedtime beverage. The company, 30 Watt, says you’ll be able to find your drink easily in the dark with these authentic glow-in-the-dark coasters (Set of 2). Decorated with a chic geometric pattern, these ultra-handy coasters are perfect for a low key movie night or a party. Made of high-quality BPA-free silicone won’t stick to the glass bottom when you pick it up. At 4″, they accommodate most coffee cups, glasses and bottles. A 2-pack is $11.99.
And Chad’s take: Chad liked these a lot. You’ll see how ‘to charge’ them to get the best glow before using them. But, depending on how much light they get before you use them, you may not need to do that. You’ll see Chad do a great ‘lights-out!’ demo and give you many more details on these on this week’s show.
