Get Your Family Away From the Screen: Top Five Coolest Toys
Cincinnati's premier retailer of high-end, multi-thousand dollar toys has found the top five toys that don't involve staring at a screen, priced for the middle-income family's gift giving season.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- After a years worth of research, Elliot Werner has found the winning combination of fun, affordable, and non-digital toys that encourage real face-to-face family time for December 2014.
Werner, owner of Coolest Toys On Earth in Milford, said, "When we opened in 2005, everybody from nearby neighborhoods like Terrace Park, Indian Hill, and Madeira wanted to see our $10,000 jet pack in our Milford showroom. But the average family just can't spring for such a cool toy." Werner continues, "However, gifts such Kinetic Sand or Kinetic Snow are toys that will pull your family's attention away from their phablets and start playing with one another, seeing who can build the best sand castle or snow angel."
There is an exciting trend to return to non-virtual and non-digital family time. Werner says, "Family gatherings have been less about talking, laughing, and playing because that time is being swallowed by the world of Instagram and Facebook. But some families are extending the 'no cell phone rule' to the 'no screen rule' for certain times and events."
Coolest Toys On Earth's top five non-digital family toys for December 2014 are:
- Kinetic Sand - Moldable like wet sand, but when squeezed, amazingly flows through your fingers like nothing you've ever felt. Only sticks to itself for easy cleaning. $21.95 (It's fluffy moldable cousin, Kinetic Snow, is exclusive to Coolest Toys On Earth)
- Fast Track NHL - A fast paced and extremely simple placemat-sized hockey game. Using a bit of aim and timing, get the thumb-sized pucks all over to Dad's side of the board - with laughter ensuing. $24.98
- OgoSport - Think hand-held trampoline for a Koosh ball. Play indoor badminton with Mom, or do gymnastic tricks in between bounces to impress Grandma. $34.98
- Thinking Putty Phantom - Instantly and magically changes color in sun, glows in the dark, and your daughter can write on it with the special flashlight pen included. 21st century silly putty. $19.95
- Dramada Kodo Quad-Copter - Seven year-olds can easily impress their teenage siblings by doing automatic vertical 360's and recording their flights with the onboard camera. $59.95
Speaking of the upcoming onslaught of seasonal customers, Werner says, "We are looking forward to helping Cincinnati, again this year, find the best presents for their scientific wiz-kid, their mustache-enthralled female co-worker, and their puzzle loving engineer father."
