| Heart For Heart Girls |
| Description: The Hearts For Hearts Girls is a charitable doll line and fashion collection from Playmates Toys, which seeks to empower girls to become agents of change in their communities, their countries and around the world. The line features six dolls that represent real girls from real places all over the world. Each authentically dressed and lifelike doll has her own story to share and is working to change her community in ways unique to her home country. A portion of each doll sale is donated to a non-profit organization that helps children from that dollâs country. Playmates Toys is working with non-profit partner World Vision to make this possible. The Hearts For Hearts Girls come to life with a fully interactive website that lets girls discover different cultures, hear about girls just like them and learn about how they too can make an impact. Each doll comes with a special code that lets girls unlock a free membership to the kid-safe website at www.hearts4heartsgirls.com. |

| LeapFrog Explorer Learning Cartridge Game |
| Description: Tech-products are high on children's wish lists this holiday season. At the top of many lists is the LeapPad Explorer learning tablet from LeapFrog. While many parents know the device they want to give their kids, they often do not know what software should accompany these tech products. LeapFrog offers popular learning cartridge games that encourage kids to have fun while they learn. LeapFrog Explorer cartridge games are cross-compatible between the LeapFrog LeapPad and this year's Toy of the Year LeapFrog Leapster Explorer, an added bonus for those who bought Explorers last year. Here are three recommended game experiences for kids ages 4-7 (all MSRP $24.99): LeapFrog Explorer™ SpongeBob SquarePants: The Clam Prix: This new game cartridge helps kids learn to read and spell. What is most unique about this learning game is that parents can get involved in the learning fun by programming customized word lists into the game they want their child to learn â such as a word list for an upcoming spelling test. LeapFrog Explorer™ Pet Pals 2: Kids will adopt and take care of their very own puppy as they learn to explore feelings and emotions, while practicing math skills in order to win the dog show. There is also a lesson of responsibility as child takes care of their pet by feeding, bathing and teaching it tricks. LeapFrog Explorer™ Disney Pixar Cars 2: Building off the success of the Cars2 movie, LeapFrog has taken familiar characters from the movie, like Mater and Lightning McQueen, to help further engage kids in exploring math. Again, blending learning with fun. |
