• The Babble Review: My Family's Weekend With D-Rex

  While I don't believe in spoilng the kids this close to Christmas, the allure of a packaged robotic dinosaur is too much even for me to resist. So, yeah, when Mattel dropped a D-Rex robotic dinosaur on the doorstep this past weekend, I gave in and decided to let the kids torture-test the little beastie. Read More...

• Little Cave-People, Big World: Duplo Dino Valley

  Creating dinosaur toys that'll appeal to little kids is like shooting fish in a barrel, but as our review from yesterday of a new Hot Wheels toy proves, not all dinosaur play sets are created equal.

  Although some manufacturers would rather you spent hundreds to find out the hard way, not every 3-year-old is ready for a high-end interactive robot. At $29.99, Cranium's Talkin' T.
