Just set the rink down, pour in 2 inches of water and give it a few days to freeze. Then unleash the Gretzky-Wanna-Be's in your house for some outdoor fun.

Hammerhead Sled

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's a face-forward sled.

I won't kid myself. I'd die on this. Probably not at the first tree but definitely by the second. But for those of you with better luck, it looks like fun. Good luck.

Sno Slider

First to recommend

Description

Oh god, I need one of these just for walking down the street here in winter. Think "Cali girl, now living in the Midwest".. Sigh.

Slip, scoot, spin, slide - go for a ride on your own backside. A fun new twist on sledding, Sno Slider's like growing a tough plastic shell just for winter sports. Attaches by a simple harness - no more dragging a heavy sled up the hill; just walk to the top and sit down - you can't fall off. Comes in red or blue - we'll choose for you.

For ages 3 and up.

Indoor/Outdoor Geo Dome

First to recommend

Description

What a fun way to get your Eskimo on!

from the site:
"This translucent "geodesic" dome can be any domicile, from a space station to a high-tech marketplace to a fairyland. The creative, "unstructured" structure fairly sets the pretend-play wheels turning in kids' heads.

And it's BIG, so 2 - 3 kids can play at once, the better for weaving adventures in and out of the two entrances and the lookout port in the top. Set it up indoors or out (four ground stakes are included), summer and winter."

For ages 5 and up.

Size
Measures approx. 8' long x 6' wide x 3' tall.

2-Person Snow Bike

First to recommend

Description

A steel and plastic contraption with foot brakes and a steering wheel. Fun as heck looking but watch out for trees and errant wildlife.

Digital Weather Station

2 people recommended this item

Description

Just think little fashionistas! This will help you know what coat and shoes to wear to school!

from the site:
Learn to interpret the weather answers that are blowing in the wind. Once you've set up your own weather station, you can use your high-precision wind-speed meter - and tools that measure temperature, humidity, and other weather indicators - to put together a complete weather outlook.

Build a barometer, measure air pollution, rain, and rain pH, and best of all, have fun learning with the 32-page activities book. Wind-Speed Meter can be hand held, too!

Also includes 2 thermometers, collecting vials, measuring cylinder, pipettes, balloons, lighted storage case (and more). Requires 3 AAA batteries and 2 AA batteries, not included.

For ages 8 and up.

Eskimold and Super Shovel

First to recommend

Description

My kids had so much fun last year in a pile of snow they mashed up into a crazy looking igloo that this winter I'm going to spring for a "professional" kit, lol. This one has the plastic gadgets they'll need to get the job done. Check out the Super Shovel on the site, too....

From the site:
Snow day? Yay! Celebrate by making a real igloo. Just fill an Eskimold with a few shovelfuls of snow, and flip out a curved eskiblock. Snow-proof instructions tell you how to place the blocks and to use the plastic "eskisaw" to even everything off. You can also build straight walls for forts.

Kids can use the ergonomically designed, high-quality plastic Children's Super Shovel to carve a deep and wide path to their new and exciting play place.

Colors for both will vary; we will choose for you.
