Rubik's Cube


Product Description

The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect -- and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.
For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik's Cube actually has a pretty straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43 quintillion possible pattern combinations (that's 43 million millions), but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn't such a bad idea after all%u2026.
This Rubik's Cube has reflective red, white, blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square. The cube is packaged in a clear hexagon box and includes a black display stand. There is also a solutions hint and game suggestion book, just in case.

Features

* "43 Quintillion" possible moves and only "ONE" solution!
* As a special added bonus, a Free Rubik's Cube stand is included
* This completely redesigned gift packa

2008 Holiday Gift Guide - Best toys for toddlers 

Source: www.washingtontimes.com By: Joseph Szadkowski and Jacquie Kubin Tuesday, November 25, 2008



The holidays are a time filled with warmth, good cheer and blah, blah, blah. Let's get down to the serious portion of the show - gifts for those good little girls and boys. No, not socks, not that annoying light-up sweater vest or sacks of roasted chestnuts. Let's talk toys.

* The Baby Einstein Connect and Play Zone (ages 6 months and older) is filled with discovery activities. Five activity modules - such as a ball drop, a baby-safe mirror and turn-and-pop characters - connect or can be separated for on-the-go individual fun. A language selector toggles between English and Spanish. Colors and shapes are discovered through brightly colored buttons and turn keys.

Another great Baby Einstein offering is the Nature Nesting Blocks(9 months and older). This set of sturdy cardboard blocks is brightly printed with real-life and illustrated animal and nature images grouped in themes, such as day and night or spring and fall. They can be stacked or nested inside each other.

* Chicco's Turbo Touch(ages 2 and older) roars to the finish line with a simple touch. Press down on the roof, and the car vibrates, revs up and accelerates before it squeals the brakes and toots the horn, signaling the end of the line. Each of the five collectible cars has its own personality.

* Darby is the newest addition to the Hundred Acre Wood as she joins the regulars for adventures in the Fisher-Price Inc. Disney Super Sleuth Changing Tree (ages 3 and older). Based on the "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" show, this interactive play set features Pooh, Tigger and Darby figures ready for 50 missions from the show. The tree is filled with surprises as Pooh quick-changes into supersleuthing gear, slides pop out and branches become ramps. The tree is outfitted with a computer, map and gear and has more than 75 fun phrases to add to the mix.

* Soft and sweet, Sensitive Baby Serenaby Goldberger Doll Co. (ages 1 and older) is certified safe for children with allergies and asthma. Serena is a 13-inch, all-soft-body doll with a sweet face. Dressed in a pink gingham dress or green romper, the doll wears a sun-shading hat, and all her clothing is of baby-soft knit fabrics. All Goldberger Dolls come with a lifetime replacement guarantee.

* Building is one of your little one's first "I can" activities, and the Playskool Clipo Figure Bucket(ages 18 months and older) is filled with 50 brightly colored interlocking peg-covered shapes for lots of manipulative fun. The bucket's lid doubles as a sturdy building base, while the blocks store neatly inside when playtime is done. Other Clipo items include the Clipo Creativity Table and Vehicle Starter Set.

Also from Playskool, the Busy Ball-tivity Center(ages 9 months and older) stimulates baby's sense of discovery as brightly colored balls swirl through the ball pool or hover over the air cannon. Air powers the activities as a peekaboo monkey pops up or the bright green alligator chomps away. Stackable pieces spin, twirl and chomp when placed on the gently blowing air ports. The Busy Ball-tivity center also features lively music and animal sounds to further engage your child in fun, active play.

* Nursery rhymes and cheery songs help baby learn about shapes, colors and fruits with the Sing 'n' Learn Kangaroo by Chicco(ages 9 months and older). This early-growth toy is bold and bright with fun, sunny colors of orange and yellow. Mommy Kangaroo's pouch doubles as a sorting toy as baby is encouraged to find the right shape, fruit or colored block to fit.

* With plenty of positive-reinforcement messages, Tonka'sMy First Tool Kit (ages 18 months and older) will put a little handyman in a fixing mood. The sturdy plastic tool set comes with four voice-animated little-hands-friendly tools - a hammer, wrench, screwdriver and air hose. The kit works with Tonka's Scoot 'n Scoop 3-in-1 Ride-on Truck (ages 9 months and older) to teach children shapes, colors and tool names as they play with both.

The Scoot 'n Scoop is a crawl-to-walk transition toy, converting from a push toy to a walker handle to an extra-stable wide-seat riding toy. It features block sorting and scooping action, and a removable tire can be fixed with the My First Tool Kit.

Pleo Dinosaur - A UGOBE Life Form 

With the Senario 22208 Pleo A Ugobe Life Form, you can expand your family with a pet from prehistoric times. The Pleo is a one-week-old dinosaur that will quickly grow to become one of the most fun and exciting members of your family. This amazing robotic marvel not only moves organically, explores its environment on its own, and interacts with you, but it also expresses emotions based on its life experiences.

Developing A Unique Personality
The Senario Pleo begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, and from the moment he starts moving his individuality begins. Pleo doesn't simply do what he is told; he also develops his own unique personality, moods, and habits that are shaped by the time and experiences he shares with you. The Pleo can go from happy and curious to scared and surprised, and from playful and lively to sad and vexed, depending on a wealth of influences. From hatchling through infant, and all the way through his juvenile stages, Pleo will grow up and change in personality and understanding.

The Pleo displays an endless combination of gestures and vocalizations based on influences that are interpreted by Ugobe's Life OS platform of tools, technologies and AI (artificial intelligence). Users can find training tips and download enhancements to Pleo from www.pleoworld.com, but his programming merely sets his wheels in motion, leaving the true magic of his development up to you.

As Sensitive as a Baby
Pleo's sophisticated sensory system consists of nearly 40 devices that enable him to see, sense, touch and detect objects in order to move autonomously and explore his environment without requiring any remote control. This robotic dinosaur includes a color camera with a white-light sensor that allows him to detect bright light from dark, see colors, detect motion, track a moving object, and perceive objects in front of him. This unit also includes binaural microphones on the left and right that give him stereophonic hearing, allowing him to detect sound direction and loudness through both ears. An infrared receiver and transmitter allows Pleo to identify, communicate and interact with one another, while another infrared interruptor allows Pleo to detect when something is being placed in his mouth. Meanwhile eight touch sensors on his chin, shoulder, legs, back and head are triggered by touch and allow him to "feel." What's more, this dinosaur has a skin that is constructed of a custom-formulated, soft thermoplastic material that's painted with an incredibly realistic and lifelike coloration.

The Pleo Life Form also has over 100 custom-designed gears, and 14 motors for highly-articulated movement. Each motor has a force feedback sensor that makes them sensitive to forceful grabs at the dinosaur's legs, neck, tail and torso, causing him to shut down during trauma to avoid internal damage. Pleo will actually react to being hurt, perhaps exhibiting a limp, and can recover over time depending on the level of nurturing you exhibit. Ground sensors allow Pleo to know when a foot is on a solid surface or when he has been picked up, while tilt and shake sensors allow him to know if he has fallen or is being held upside down. The sensors will also wake him up after he has fallen "asleep." Both front and rear speakers even enable Pleo to communicate via cute honks and hoots, as well as other fun and natural sounds.



Senario's Ugobe Pleo is powered by an internal, rechargeable NiMH battery that takes about four hours to charge and provides approximately an hour of active life. This power supply features a battery level indicator that causes Pleo to feel very tired and slow down, so you know precisely when he needs to be recharged. Pleo has two 32-bit microprocessors for central and image processing, and four 8-bit sub-processors for motor control. This robotic life form also has multiple built-in data ports, including a mini USB port for online downloads, an SD card slot for Pleo add-ons, and the infrared transceiver that allows Pleo-to-Pleo communications.

This Ugobe Pleo comes in a green color, weighs 3.5 pounds, and stands about 7.5 inches high and 21 inches long when on all fours. Pleo is rated E for Everyone and is designed for older children, teens and adults. (As Pleo is a highly sophisticated product which evolves into an inquisitive animal that requires attention and care, it is not considered suitable or intended for children under eight years of age.) The Senario Pleo is backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty, but user's should note that it is intended for use only in dry, indoor locations.

What's in the Box
Pleo A Ugobe Life Form in green, a companion's guide, a training leaf, a Pleo identity card, an NiMH replaceable rechargeable battery, and an AC charger

Product Description
Pleo is UGOBE's premier autonomous Life Form, a scientifically accurate dinosaur. Pleo looks, moves, sounds and behaves like a living creature. Fully aware and cognitive, he explores his environment and interacts with people, accessories and other UGOBE dinosaurs.

Equipped with senses for sight, sounds and touch, Pleo processes numerous stimuli before expressing himself. He feels joy, sorrow, anger and annoyance with realistic dinosaur sounds. And when he's tired, Pleo gets drowsy and sleeps -- sometimes even dreams.

Just like a real animal, his behavior cannot always be predicted. Pleo has internal motivations to eat, drink, rest, seek social interaction and more.

Pleo requires 4 NiMH batteries, included. Measures 16"L x 4"W x 8"H. Colors may vary.
