NY Toy Fair 2012 – The Zazoo Photo Clock
Kids can’t tell time. Half of the time, they don’t go outside to know whether it’s dark or light. Sometimes, this can make bedtime a challenge. That’s where the Zazoo Photo Clock comes in. The product is designed to help kids identify time of day without having to know how to read a clock. Built

NY Toy Fair 2012 – The Kurio
Thanks to TechnoSource at NY Toy Fair 2012, GeekDadLife got to check out the Kurio. Now, I’m a skeptical person when it comes to tablet devices. All of the others out there have done well but honestly, for my money, the iPad can’t be beat (2). That’s of course, my opinion, but I’m pretty sure

NY Toy Fair 2012 – Bye-Bye Paci
From speech therapist and CEO of Help-Ukids, David Tellerman, we have the innovative reward driven Bye-Bye Paci system. While no research information was available at the time of the showing of the product, the system seems like it makes perfect sense. Get rid of the kids nippy in stages with the end result being true
