These tiny battery operated, robotic Nano bugs, come in several different collectible colors. They are designed to act like real bugs!

This board game requires children to first make their players out of Play-Doh. Then as the pawns move about the game board, they better be careful, or they might end up getting snipped, sliced, pressed into fries or cranked into chips.

Look for the new Disney Princess, Cars 2, Marvel Universe, and Hot Wheels Squinkies.
