No Battery, Bluetooth or WiFi, Kids Just Add Imagination!
It’s the Indoor/Outdoor Play with the Bluey Camping Activity Fort. I think this will be a lot of fun, especially for li’l Bluey fans! The camper-style play tent has 2 mesh windows, roll-up door and awning. The company says it comes loaded with accessories: play mat (with 2 sides of games), Bluey and Bingo puppets and 12 pieces of play food for “making smores,” skeeball, tic-tac-toe and more. The play tent (which looks like a RV Camper to me, is polyester; plastic tent poles and stakes included. Light uses 3 AAA batteries (not included). Assembly required. 60″ l x 38″ h x 30″ d (46″ with awning). Ages 3+. Due out in about a month, with a MSRP of $79.99. There’ll be a version with less accessories later on for about $49.99.

Meet The Little Kids (Fisher-Price) Toddler Toy Shake and Go Bubble Maraca
Yes, Danny had a lot of fun with this!
It’s billed as a No Spill Bubble Wand and Musical Toy Maraca. And it’s said to Introduce cause & effect and encourage early imaginative play for toddlers 18 months & up. As you’ll see in the video, just shake the bubble maraca to create a musical sound and to activate the bubbles. When the shaking stops, the bubbles stop. Shake again to reactivate the bubbles. In the package is one Fisher-Price Bubble Maraca and 4oz of Non-Toxic bubble solution. Requires 3 AAA batteries, not included. Under $20 and is now available.

This wasn’t on the show, but since we had the BLUEY Activity Fort, I thought I would include this.
It’s the BLUEY Dance Mode Bubble Machine and Toy Microphone. It features kid’s favorite Bluey character and a voice activated bubble machine that looks and acts a bit like a fun microphone. (It’s NOT a working microphone.) But It magically blows bubbles and lights up when you sing into it! Just dip the wand in solution and sing or talk into the top of the toy to activate the bubbles. Kit includes a Bluey Bubble Machine Microphone and 4 fl oz of bubble solution. Requires 2 “AA” (1.5V) batteries, not included. Was under $16.00 on Amazon as on 9/18/24

WowWee Introduces Fingerlings Interactive Baby Axolotl.
This cute Fingerling Baby Axolotl swims and lights up in a rainbow of colors. Sensors automatically sense when it’s in the water. Watch your baby axolotl swim in a bowl, aquarium or pool, but avoid salty or dirty water. Each Baby Axolotl features rainbow lights and sounds! Out of the water, it knows when it’s your hand, and can pet its head for different sounds and reactions. But wait, there’s more! Your axolotl’s lights guess your mood. Out of your hand, pet your baby axolotl’s head, and it will sing a song while its gills light up. A great gift for ages 5+. Batteries included. It’s being sold at Target for $19.99, which includes the pool you’ll see on this week’s show. At Walmart it’s $14.95 without the pool. It will also be available on Amazon shortly.

Danny New & I Chat About Great Gadgets For “Back To School.”
Lenovo Introduces Two New Laptops For Creative Types!
At a Lenovo event I went to recently I discovered two brand new Yoga Slim 7x (14″ Snapdragon) handsome computers. Here are some details from Lenovo: There’s the Snapdragon® X Elite inside for next-gen AI experiences. 3K PureSight OLED display with 1000 nits peak brightness. (The screen color and resolution was amazing.) Complimentary 2-month membership for Adobe Creative Cloud. (Details on their website.) Both come with Windows 11 Home 64 ARM. They feature two very important things I look for in a laptop, a backlit keyboard and a touch screen. I was also amazed at the starting price: $1199.00. You can double the memory to 1TB for about $90 more. Follow the links below the video to read a lot more about these.
