Top Five Gadgets to Keep Your Kid Busy On a Trip 5

by Tobey Grumet Segal on May 22, 2008 at 12:07 PM


Gear up -- Sort of shaped like an Etch-a-Sketch, Tomy's Gearation is a magnetic surface with a bunch of different gears that kids can place and then play with. This $30 toy comes with 11 brightly-colored cogs that turn, rotate and flip at two speeds in two directions. The only constant is the center gear, so the cogs can be placed anywhere on the surface, delivering a new experience every time you take it out. The Gearation's carry handle makes it extremely portable and it only needs one C battery, so it's the perfect toy to keep your tot -- and maybe even you -- occupied for hours.
