Ideal for a pint-sized percussionist, the Sunshine Drum takes the classic drum on a stick and fashions it with a big 10" sunny face. It also comes with a soft mallet that cleverly stores inside the short, safe stick. It's a practical and simple way for kids to bang their way to some music fun. In summer 2007, the Sunshine Drum was cited as the best-selling music toy in the store of Patti Lee, owner of Toys Galore and More in Kent, Conn. Lee sells about 12 of these drums per month, she said.

— “For the younger kids: Splash Art,” said Kate Tanner, owner of Kidstop Toy & Book Store in Scottsdale, Ariz., of top-selling travel products at her store.
— Greg Bonner, owner of Heights Toy Center Inc. in Little Rock, Ark, agreed they sell well: “Art Boards. Doodling, coloring, it passes the time. Travel boards with write on/wipe off games. Still does well.”
