Kids are used to playing with superhero and G.I. Joe action figures - but these days, there are new heroes in town. On Wednesday, Mattel released new dolls to honor the workers on the front lines of the coronavirus battle. The toy company has created nurse, doctor, EMT and delivery driver figurines.  From April 29 through May 31, customers can purchase #ThankYouHeroes dolls online, Mattel said. Net proceeds will be donated to #FirstRespondersFirst. Each doll will cost $20, and $15 will go to the campaign. #ThankYouHeroes is part of Mattel's Fisher-Price brand and will be the first of several efforts from the company's "Play it Forward" platform, the company said in a press release. The 16-doll collection is "designed to immortalize and honor healthcare and every day heroes, and to drive additional donations to support first responders," Senior Vice President of Fisher-Price and Global Head of Infant and Preschool Chuck Scothon said in the press release. ...

New Toys Turn Mario And Bowser Into Ultraman And Godzilla Mario and Bowser are two of gaming's most recognisable characters, although two new toys portray the Nintendo icons as you've never seen them before. Set to be released by Bid Toys in Japan later this year, the figures depict Mario and Bowser as characters from the Ultraman franchise, and they look awesome. We also love how the official images depict the toys standing in a model city surrounded by skyscrapers, to emphasis how these are truly supposed to be Kaiju-sized versions of Nintendo's icons. However, Kotaku have pointed out that it's unclear if these are officially licensed figures, so if that will be a problem for you, you might want to purchase the upcoming Mario Lego set instead. Either way, the Mario figure will be called Ma-Nultra, and it depicts how the plumber would look if he was crossed with Ultraman, the iconic Japanese r...

Chandigarh, April 28 With children infected by Covid-19 feeling anxious as they adjust to isolation wards and PPE-clad doctors, health authorities in Punjab and Chandigarh look to keep them occupied with board games, cartoons and regular counselling. At the Jalandhar civil hospital, two sisters who tested positive for Covid-19 have been given toys and a carom board to keep them busy, while at the PGI in Chandigarh, children infected with the virus are kept engaged with cartoons on TV and drawing sessions. Keeping these children busy in isolation wards is proving to be a challenge in itself for the health authorities. "We have given them carom board and Ludo to play in order to make them comfortable," said Jalandhar Senior Medical Officer Kashmiri Lal. A television set has also been installed in the ward, he added. Lal said the two sisters, aged six and seven, tested positive after their grandfather cont...

New Delhi: From telling their kids that they are going out to fight "corona keeda" to promising to bring them toys as soon as the lockdown ends, Delhi Police officers are striving to be the best at the other titles attached to their names in these extraordinary times. While healthcare workers are fighting the battle against coronavirus inside hospitals, police personnel are manning the roads to enforce the lockdown. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Parminder Singh said he stays away from the things that belong to his son over fears that if he is infected, he'll be putting his kid at risk. "How can life be when you are surrounded by coronavirus? You can't access some places at home and you cannot touch certain things despite washing your hands many times. Every day when you wear the uniform, you have a fear that you might get infected today," he told PTI over phone. Singh also has elderly parents at home and has to follow strict social distanc...

Pittsburgh-based startup company Toaster Pets recently introduced Toaster Pets Cartoon Studio, a new toon-making toy that allows kids to launch their own YouTube animation channel. The device uses "Computer Vision" technology to track and animate the Toaster pets characters on-screen. Kids are invited to download the Toaster Pets Cartoons app form the Play Store/App Store iOS, Android and Amazon Kindle). Next, they set up the scene by picking their Toaster Pet characters and choose one of the ten virtual environments. Then, they are ready to make their own animated short featuring the two animal characters that come with the package (and they can also add more characters by purchasing several other figures). Toaster Pets founder and CEO John Feghali began by building intelligent virtual pets. "After interviewing 200 kids we realized that a lot of children wanted to have their own YouTube Channel but couldn't for a series of reasons," he says. "The main re...

Click here to read the full article. It can feel like some kids are just born independent. They let go of our hands when they're barely two years old, they cut across the yard and earnestly reach for the nearest tree branch, eager to climb to the top of the world without our help. But plenty of other children have a difficult time separating from their parents, even for a few minutes. Even if all we're asking of them is to play with their millions of toys so we can can cook dinner without 100 disruptions. For some, independent play is a learned skill — one that takes time and the help of a patient parent to acquire. "Some kids play independently with great concentration and attention very naturally," says Dr. Laurie Hollman, psychoanalyst and author of Unlocking Parental Intelligence. "They enjoy it and are productive and creative. Other kids generally want a playmate or a parent to play with them. They enjoy the social engagement even more than the task, but if ...

PORTLAND, Oregon — It's been a month since Finnegan's Toys & Gifts shut down its iconic downtown store, where it has been in business for 43 years. Now the locally owned shop is working to stay afloat with phone orders from its website.  Owner Karen Leppmann said on Monday that she's been so busy trying to keep the business going, she's not sure exactly how successful she's been over the past month.   "It's nothing like being open, (we're) not doing that kind of business, we can't do that without our wonderful employees. But we're limping along we're doing OK," said Leppman.   The store owner's hope is to reopen safely when the time is right, and get about a half-dozen laid off employees back to work. In the meantime she is working with a local credit union to get their paychecks restarted, with help from small business aid programs. Employee Linda Williams is missing h...

MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Santa has taken a break from toy building to make sure everyone — even if they're on the naughty list — are staying healthy during the pandemic. Saint Nick posted a video on YouTube showing children how to properly wash their hands. "We're concerned for you and want to keep you safe, but also let you know you don't have to worry about us," he said. Santa said if everyone washes their hands, covers their mouths when they sneeze and cough and maintains social distancing, he should be able to visit in December.
