Questions and answers
Does anything here come ready to use the moment you hand it over?
Yes. The Little Mermaid bubble wand comes with bubble solution in the box, and it adds lights and music to the tail-swishing mermaid games of a girl who waves it across a yard, porch or park, though in snowy places the bubbles themselves may wait for a mild afternoon.
Which picks get a restless kindergartner moving outdoors?
Leaping off every curb points to the Flybar pogo stick, which she grips, stands on and bounces across a driveway, patio or sidewalk, leaning it against the garage wall between attempts at a new record. A girl who finds a grown-up's stroll too slow takes the Micro Maxi kick scooter down sidewalks and park paths, setting the pace on the walk to kindergarten under her own steam.
