Angry Birds

Now the entire family may enjoy the popular android phone app game that inspired millions of downloads. The Angry Birds-Knock on Wood Game, recommended for ages five and up, requires that players build structures for the pigs, based on a chosen card. Players then catapult the angry birds at the structures. Players receive points for eliminating structures and the enemy pigs inside. The game does not require reading, which makes the illustrated instructions on each card simple enough for the comprehension of even the youngest of players. The game progresses through four levels of building, with the last level allowing players complete design control. The popular board game retails for under $20.

Transformers

Coinciding with the release of the “Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon” movie, toy companies quickly developed new and improved versions of the beloved main characters, newly introduced Autobots and the various members of the Decepticon. Recommended for children over the age of three, the Transformers come in a wide range of sizes. The action figures retail anywhere from $13 to $80, depending on the number and type of bells and whistles individual models contain.

Fur Real Friends

Designed for children aged four years and up, these lifelike animals provide youngsters with hours of enjoyment and a taste of pet ownership. The wide selection of potential pets includes cats, dogs and rabbits, along with parrots, guinea pigs and chimpanzees. Battery operated, the robotic pets respond to touch or noise by performing certain movements or making sounds. Maintaining the attractiveness of the pet merely requires using a dampened cloth. Fur Real Friends vary in price from $10 to $60, depending on the animal’s size and number of functions.
