What kid's summer is complete without the ability to create their very own sno-cone any time, any place? Virtually unchanged for 32 years, you can get the same delicious results today.

Sure, vinyl may be a thing of the past, but that is no reason you shouldn't educate your little ones on the coolness of, well, plastic-grooved faux vinyl. Let them spin some tunes on this throwback player.

It's back, it's new, it's cordless and it's portable!! It's Lite-Brite, like you remember it but even better. It's a bit sleeker, and a bit slimmer, but then again so are you right? With 10 design templates and 200 colorful pegs, let the creative glow fun begin!

Way back in the '80s, the key to any young girl's heart was through an Easy Bake Oven. Too bad cooking a la lightbulb wasn't all that appetizing. Stand back, because the all-new Easy Bake doesn't even have a lightbulb! Plug 'er in and yum!

Here's one game from your youth that hasn't changed a bit. It's still got that slow spin, those little magnets on the rods and is just as tricky as catching real fish! Make teams, make up your own rules, and hang a sign outside the room that says: Gone Fishin'!

Take a spin back to summer 1987 with your very own spin art machine! (Total disclosure: We wished we had this when we were 10!) Kids will love watching their paint splatter round and round. And there's no such thing as bad spin art, so frame their original designs like real Picassos.

Find yourself challenging your kids and yourself with this couldn't-be-more-'80s multicolored cube. Sure there are modern versions now available, but nothing screams accomplishment like beating the cube, old skool.

Ok, we will admit that getting a vial of live ants in the mail is, well, a bit creepy. But it's totally worth it. Your kids (and maybe even you) will flip for this revolutionary ant farm: It lights up and projects a light onto the ceiling for a magnified ant shadow show like nothing you have ever seen. Just don't let the ants loose ...
