    Four Shared Cube

    The US$29.99 Four Shared Cube — Lite Brite allows you to conjure up your very own lighted artwork with another three friends to assist you.

    This is one toy that your kids can still continue to play, never mind that the weather has gone all dark on the outside, making it a far more creative alternative to video games if your kids love being cooped up indoors. All you need to do is drop the cube in the middle of the table, and let each of your little tykes have a side to express their creative selves.

    Air Table Tennis

    The US$39 Air Table Tennis will work fine as long as the batteries inside still have juice, and you can, in your mind, have a session of table tennis that will rival that of what you watched in “Forrest Gump.”

    The Air Table Tennis paddle is capable of reproducing the entire gamut of the sound effects that you will find in a real game. After it bounces over to the table of your virtual opponent as well as their return shot, you will then have to learn to match the timing of your swing to make a return shot.
