from Spin Master Toys
Price: $34.99

Customer Review:
Ok, maybe that's a bit strong, but this is hands down our most hated toy (by the adults, and the kids are plenty frustrated, too). We received it as a gift (and WOW whoever would pay $35 for this is CRAZY.). Our son is nearly five & needs help to load the truck, which has to be loaded fully to... more info

from Fisher-Price

Customer Review:
My then 14 mth old got this for Christmas last year and has barely played with it. He loves the balls but he loves any type of ball. It is cute but isn't very interesting.

3. Wild Planet Treasure Hunter Wild Planet Treasure Hunter
from Wild Planet
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:
This toy is a really cool version of the game "getting warmer..." On Christmas morning, I hid one half and let my son open the other, so he had to go find it to see what he had received. He loved the toy and enjoys playing with it. One time he put the lid on incorrectly and it took quite a bit of... more info

4. Playskool Bulls-Eye Bounce Roll Playskool Bulls-Eye Bounce & Roll
from Hasbro

Customer Review:
Concentration, coordination, oh, did I mention just plain fun. Our three year old grandson had the greatest time playing with this toy. The determination and concentration he demonstrated was worth every penny I spent on this toy. Every once in a while a great toy becomes a must have item.

5. TV Mini Golf TV Mini Golf
from Toys
Price: $24.99

Customer Review:
This toy is so much fun for adults and kids alike. Santa (grandma) brought it, so I had not heard of it and was not expecting much. Ours works REALLY well - the club is too short for adults but the base is easily raised. My 7 year old daughter and her friends play it for hours at a time - this is a... more info

Price: $16.88

Customer Review:
I bought this on a whim for my 3 1/2 year old son. He loves it and it entertains him for a good hour! He is advanced for his age, so I think the age suggestions are right on for this product. My almost 6 year old daughter also enjoys this game. There are several different levels, so it's challenging... more info

Our 6 year old purchased Blokus for his birthday and we have enjoyed playing it with everyone that visits. All ages can play and everyone really enjoys it. We've had 5 years to grandparents playing it and loving it. We would recommend it for any family game night. Enjoy!

9. Lite Brite Flash Art Fx - Black Lite Brite Flash Art Fx - Black
from Hasbro
Price: $24.99

Customer Review:
Got this toy for my daughter for Christmas. Both she and my son loved it, but it only comes with 8 or so pieces of cardboard and you go through them quickly. I bought refills, which were hard to find locally and they also last about 5 minutes. As other reviewers have said, get your own cardboard,... more info

10. Spin Master Toys Captain Bones Gold Spin Master Toys Captain Bone's Gold
from Spin Master Toys
Price: $19.99

Customer Review:
I read a few of the bad reviews and gave the game a chance anyway. When I got it out and put it together I found out the game board comes in two peices, the small peice was a little warped, but didn't affect the game play. We played it a few times one day and it worked great. The next day we got it... more info
