Sing-a-Ma-Jigs are strange-looking little dolls with hair scrunchies for mouths and tiny little Chiclet teeth. Still with us? Sing-a-Ma-Jigs can sing a little song alone, but when you have more than one, the magic kicks in and they harmonize together! They're going to be HUGE this year, so stock up early!

The whole family can bust a move playing Just Dance 2 by Ubisoft for Wii. Just pick a tune (from Elvis to Bollywood to Avril Lavigne) and then follow the dancer onscreen for points. Play one-on-one, have a multiplayer Dance Off or try workout mode. Best of all: Your funky chicken won't embarrass the kids because you're in the privacy of your own home!

Monopoly isn't for squares anymore! This new 75th anniversary version has a round board and everything else is amped up a notch, too. Players get $2 million when they pass Go, making the ol' $200 passing-go paycheck seem like pocket change. Oh, and it plays snippets of popular songs like "Umbrella"! Did ya hear that? We said it sings!

Some boys love Nerf blasters so much, they buy every new addition to the line as soon as it comes out. (To be fair, we've seen grown men with the same addiction.) They're both in luck! The new Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS blaster is the biggest one yet. Its three clips hold 42 darts ... which should be enough to keep them busy for a while.

With the MobiGo handheld electronic game system from VTech, kids use a touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard to power the games. There's no stylus, so kids have to find something else to absent-mindedly chew on! If they're not careful, they might even learn typing skills in the process.

Every kid needs a garbage truck. (That's what we always say, anyway.) And if you're gonna have a garbage truck, why not have one that comes to life? Stinky the Garbage Truck tells jokes, dances and—you guessed it!—talks trash! (Don't worry about your impressionable, repeats-everything kid. Stinky's trash talk is pretty benign.)

The Zoobles' little owl is like a mini modern-day jack-in-the-box. First, it clicks into a tiny, 1-inch ball. Then, when it slides down its tiny slide, it hits a special spot that triggers it to pop open. Its wings and feet pop out and it stands up—almost like a Bakugan toy. This one's destined to be on their Christmas lists for sure.

Just roll these nine picture dice and tell a story about what you see—a great way to expand kids' creativity (even for non-readers!), storytelling and sequencing skills. Hint: We keep it in the glove box so we're never stuck waiting for a table with nothing to do. Got an iPhone? You can even download an app version of this cool game.

Rubik's Slide is a clever variation on the now-30-year-old Rubik's Cube. It's an electronic, two-dimensional Rubik's Cube that really makes you think in three dimensions. Nudge the squares up or down, left or right or twist it to move the lights around. Can't figure it out? Hand it to an 8-year-old! It's totally addicting.

Weebles still wobble and they still don't fall down, but that's where the similarities end. Turns out, the Weebles we grew up with were choking hazards (Who knew?), so the new breed is chunkier. The Weebles Musical Treehouse has a spiral slide and a working elevator. It's noisy for a toddler toy, but that's what your kid's gonna love about it!
