Description

Mechanical toys made from paper kits have always fascinated me because they just seem like they shouldn't be possible. I am not usually an FSM fan, but I like this version. (via invertebra)

Description

My kids (9 and 11) have been riding this continuosly for almost a year now. We have hard wood floors that they ride it on and there hasn't been any damage -- not that I would recommend that if your floors are new or in great shape or anything. Every kid who visits our house loves this.

Carbon Butterfly - Indoor RC plane

Description

Wow. Gorgeous.

This ultra-light, ultra slow flying plane makes it possible to fly inside normal size rooms. It isn't cheap (~$300), but it supposed to be virtually indestructible and comes with a custom aluminum carrying case. There is a cheaper version, but it is made of materials that would be easier to damage.

The plane recharges off the transmitter which runs on AA batteries.

Lego Mindstorms NXT

Wow. This. Rocks.

I just received mine as a gift and have loved playing with it so far. My son Ian and I built the first robot in about 1/2 an hour. Ian was able to pick up how to program it in their visual language in just a few minutes, even though he has never programmed anything before. He built a robot that drives forwards until it hits something, says "oops, sorry", backs up and spins around runs right into the obstacle again. It does this until you get annoyed enough to turn it off.

I had considered trying to teach my kids how to program using the old programming language Logo. In spirt and in use, the visual language for the Mindstorms is a good replacement -- being able to play sounds really makes everything a lot more fun.
