Rolling with the fun of it

This week we review several fun toys that will get you and your kids rolling — and in one case, rocking and rolling.

Light & Sound Firetruck (BRIO):

Your toddler will love rolling all over your house — lights flashing and sirens wailing — putting out fires. The retractable hose and connectable ladders give the fire truck a relatively realistic feel, and the two smiling fire fighters (included) will keep your little one company as she saves the day. Batteries are included. For kids 18 months and up. Under $30. www.brio.us

My First Take Along Set (BRIO):

This solid plastic-and-wood set is a great intro to the world of trains. It comes with a train engine, a bell wagon, connectors and ramps. The tracks are built into the plastic carrying case, which makes cleanup, storage, and traveling a breeze. The pieces are compatible with BRIO’s other train sets and accessories. For ages 18 months and up. Under $40. www .brio.us

Play Impossible Gameball (Play Impossible):

This high-tech ball is a blast. It’s loaded with an accelerometer, Bluetooth, and more, which measure the ball’s speed, height, spin, and a lot more. It comes loaded with nine games that help build hand-eye coordination, agility, and creative thinking. Gameball also charges quickly — 20 seconds gives you a full hour of play. Ages 9+.
