2015 ASTRA Marketplace Videos - Kid Reporters have a blast playing with new toys!

This June, TDmonthly's Kid Reporters had the chance of a lifetime. They got to go to the ASTRA Marketplace and get a sneak peak at what could be some of this holiday season's hottest toys!

See more coverage of the show

From getting attacked by wild (puppet) animals, getting put under a magic (pen) spell, and investigating a mysterious folding (toy) castle, our Kid Reporters had a blast playing with these specialty toys. You can follow along on their adventures in the videos below - and use them to prove to your customers how much fun their kids will have with these products!
