light:night by EMPHASIS PRODUCTS INC.

The light:night can be used in any space to light a pathway for safe passage or provide a colorful glow. For safety, the light:night boasts an auto-on feature in case of power failure and the cradle sits on the nightstand with a 3’ cord to detract toddlers from electrical sockets. While on the recharging cradle, the light:night emits a dim-colored glow, signifying that it is recharging. Once removed from the cradle, the light:night automatically shines a bright white light and can be controlled by its button. The button allows the light to be toggled from off to bright white light to colored glow. The LED’s will never get hot and they last up to 100,000 hours. For additional security, the battery lasts up to 14 hours on a full charge. The light:night comes in red, blue and green. ( Watch Video) 5/25/2006 (Price: $40.00)

Freddy Rocker by FREDDY & FRIENDS LLC

This rocking chair bears the image of Freddy — a dinosaur, a dragon or a strange alien creature. Whatever the interpretation, kids love Freddy. Since Freddy is sturdy but lightweight, kids will find it easy to move him about. But Freddy is careful with wooden floors and other surfaces; his feet (on chairs) and tail (on rockers) are finished with smooth plastic to protect against the possibility of scratches on the floor or on Freddy's edges. 5/25/2006 (Price: $129.95) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

Magic Wall Magnetic Paint by KLING MAGNETICS INC.

Kling Magnetics has created a system that transforms an existing wall into a magnetic receptive surface. The secret is in the paint. Magic Wall Magnetic Paint can be top coated with any kind of paint, any color. It is made magnetic receptive by mixing very fine nonrusting iron particles with water-based latex paint via a proprietary process developed by Kling. The paint is easy to apply with a foam roller or foam brush (foam brushes yield smoother surfaces), and cleans up with water. A wall painted with magnetic Paint will look like an ordinary wall, but magnets will stick to it! With Magnetic Paint, walls can serve as floor to ceiling magnetic play or workspace areas. Artwork, posters, plans and drawings can be hung with noninvasive magnets, saving the wear and tear that is normally associated with tape, tacks and glue. 3/28/2006 (Price: $19.95) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
