ZipString Has a Newer Addition!
ZipString Luma
ZipString is a mega hit that got a start on Shark Tank. At the show they announced they hit the “1 million units sold” mark. I had a demo of the original ZipString, but more impressive was seeing the ZipString Luma and its glow-in-the-dark magic. It comes with 5 strings with different lengths and colors. 3 Neon Strings and 2 Ultra glow strings. The magic is in Luma’s built-in black-light LED that charges the ultra glow string! With the seemingly endless glow, people can create shapes and tricks in the black-light and at night! And yes, both units charge with the way more convenient USB-C charging port! Prices range from about $29.95 to $39.99 on Amazon.

Kids 8+ Can Build A Turbo Racer That Runs On Air!
It’s the Air Power Turbo Racer from Thames and Kosmos. The company says kids 8 and up can build a lightning-fast race car powered by nothing but air — no batteries or electric motor required! Use the sleek, integrated pump to compress air into the tank, then put the car on the ground and watch it zoom away! The innovative air-powered engine works just like a combustion engine in gasoline cars, minus the burning of fossil fuels. Full-color, 24-page builders manual included. It should be in stock now, or soon as a Spring 2025 release. MSRP: $29.95

The Cheerful Folkmanis Puppets!
A given every year I visited Toy Fair is to stop by the folks at Folkmanis Puppets. They make incredible puppets to spark anyone’s imagination. I was originally going to say ‘kids’ imagination’, but when I saw the joy of everyone at the show who stoped there, I know these puppets please pretty much everyone. This year they told me they introduced more new puppets than ever before. You’ll see most of them in the video on this week’s show and on their website. The other amazing thing about these puppets is the price. I’m always so impressed they can deliver such wonderful puppets for such a reasonable price! Some hand puppets are under $10. They said some Barnes & Noble stores carry a few of their small puppets.

Why Buy Just One Robo Vacuum Cleaner?
This one converts to 3 different kinds of vacuums.
It’s the Eufy 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum. It features a detachable vacuum module that allows it to convert from a robot vacuum, to a cordless stick vacuum, or to a small handheld vac. It empties itself into the docking station which can hold up to 75 days worth of dirt. Use the Smart app to tell the robotic vac where to clean. Run time on a full battery up to 3 hours. MSRP: Under $550.00.
There was an introductory price at the company website on 1/19/25, but that can change at any time.
