Everywhere your kid goes, he leaves a trail of crumbs. It's like a daily reenactment of Hansel and Gretel. Little bits of cracker, bread and cookies cover every surface—and while they don't warrant a full-on vacuuming, they are slightly unsightly. You want to take care of the mess without breaking your back breaking out the Hoover, but it also wouldn't hurt if you didn't have to take care of it at all.

Farm Animal Crumb Vacuums. These battery-operated cow, elephant and pig vacuums are small enough for your kids to operate themselves and cute enough to make them actually want to. But don't let their diminutive size fool you! This little piggy packs enough power to clean up after your little piggies any day. And they'll pick up these adorable animals far more frequently than they ever even looked at the dust buster. Finally, you won't be the only one in the house who sucks—at least until they're teenagers.
