It also features a full color 1.4" TFT screen to watch recorded videos and live playback and onboard memory to store your evidence and files. Recommended for ages 8 to 15 years.
Can you believe the Easy Bake Oven has been around for 45 years? I remember enjoying this when I was young and the popularity is still going strong. This classic light-bulb oven comes with yummy mixes and accessories for cooking up all kinds of sweet treats. The Easy Bake Oven is not only a fun toy that provides delicious snacks, but it also teaches important skills surrounding cooking and baking. In addition, there is a wide range of food accessories that you can purchase to add on to this basic kit such as Breakfast Delights, Dessert Pizza
, and Ice Cream Sundae Delights

Electronics devices, especially the Nintendo DSi, are very popular among both boys and girls in this group. Featuring 2 ultra-bright LCD screens for double the action, the DSi is also packed with more multimedia features than previous DS models. Now you can take and edit pictures, record and manipulate audio as well. The DSi is backwards compatible and supports over 800 games! There is no specific age limit on the Nintendo DSi, however, games do carry suggested age recommendations.
The Monster High dolls, including this Frankie Stein Doll, are all the rage right now. There is a complete Monster High doll line and all dolls are fully articulated so they can be posed in many different ways. Includes 1 doll, pet, accessory, diary, brush, and doll stand. If you have a Monster High fan in your house, I would purchase these early because they are already becoming hard to find at some retailers. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Although not a "toy," I assure you the iPod Nano (8 GB) will pop up on many lists this year for kids in this age group. The newest Nano model features a 1.5 inch multi-touch color display, built in volume controls, built-in FM radio tuner with Live Pause, and up to 24 hours of music playback. This is recommended for all ages.
