Today’s kids have grown up in a world of digital photography. The normal for them is taking as many photos as they need to get the right shot, checking them instantly, and deleting any that didn’t work out. If you have teenagers, you’ll probably know this all too well as they take 8000 photos until they get the perfect one to post online. They know nothing of going on vacation, taking only as many photos as your film will allow and not being able to see if they’re any good until you’re back home, you’ve had them developed and you open them to find that half of them are out of focus....
With the release of the Super Mario bros movie this year, interest in the world of Super Mario is at an all-time high. Since the first appearance of Mario in 1981 Donkey Kong, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Luigi and Princess have been capturing kids’ hearts worldwide.

However, I wasn’t new to anime. So, despite my age, I decided to go for it anyway. And I surely delved into the realms of those intriguing creatures, gyms and trainers with delight. I especially grew fond of how it portrayed friendship (human and Pokémon-human, naturally). Pokémon was originally a Game Boy video game. Yet, it gained so much popularity with the anime that it quickly transcended the tiny Game Boy and TV screen to become movies, cards, collectibles of many sorts and games such as the world-renowned Pokemon Go....
In the trend of live-action remakes from Hollywood, the story is the same as the classic animated version. On the Viking island of Berk, dragons regularly battle with Vikings, but Hiccup, the son of the Viking King, Chief Stoick, is small, and no one believes he can fight dragons. When he finds an injured dragon who can’t fly, he looks after him and calls him Toothless. Whilst the Vikings believe that the Dragons are evil, it’s revealed they are enslaved to keep finding food....

You will need to consider these things when buying a gift for a 16-year-old girl. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when purchasing a gift for a 16-year-old girl. Different girls have different tastes. You must find out what the girl you are buying for is interested in to determine which gifts are right for them. You must also consider that 16 is a pivotal age. The girl you are buying for may be struggling with peer pressure while balancing schoolwork and the stress of soon becoming an adult....
We included Lilo Pelekai, played by actress Maia Kealoha, and Stitch, who Chris Sanders voiced as a genetically engineered alien. Lilo and Stitch’s characters were so popular that they had a show at Disneyland Paris: Stitch Live. The 2002 film was the last hand-drawn animation, so it holds a special place in fans’ hearts. According to Disneyland employees, Stitch merch is always the most popular. And when your kids have finished coloring these images, please share them with us so we can share them with our followers:...

Amelia (aged 7) kindly offered to take the Arcade Pro for a test drive and let me know what she thought....
Boxy, big-hearted, and eager to please, Nintendo succeeds because its designers try so hard. Right now, the company that defined home video gaming is teasing us with rumors of a powerful new follow-up to the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch Pro – as it may or may not be called – might or might not have a higher-resolution OLED screen, better controls, and a bigger engine than its predecessor. Among Nintendo’s many design philosophies is one that we at TheToyZone particularly like: “lateral thinking with seasoned technology” – the idea that there are many exciting new things to be done with pre-existing ideas (such as reimagining video game weapons as Nerf blasters)....

But the big rival for kids’ ballistic affections these days isn’t movies – it’s video games. The Nerf Blaster launched in 1989, the year the Nintendo Game Boy landed. Ever since, when kids want to let off a few rounds of Health & Safety-compliant ammo, they’ve had to make a tough choice: the comfort of the joypad or the breathless pursuit of “spongy backyard warfare”? Since 2019, Hasbro has bridged the gap between foam-based weaponry and the digital realm with a range of Fortnite- and Halo-themed Nerf Guns....
Kids’ TV is a big part of the world of grown-ups, too, from sleep-deprived parents who shudder at a particular theme song to adults who find themselves suddenly all in their feels over a show’s touching themes or lessons. There’s also the simple fact that kids’ TV shows are enriched with warm and fuzzy nostalgia.

When I was 16, my love for my favorite music, movies and books was matched with equal intensity by the disdain I felt for those that weren’t my cup of tea. Because of this, the fear of buying the wrong thing can lead many to resort to gifts of socks and underwear. However, there’s no need to go the boring route! If you’re buying for a close family member or friend, chances are you know some of their interests or, at the very least, can quickly snoop in their rooms or ask their parents....

The good news is that there are a good number of Nintendo Switch games for toddlers that allow them to have fun without requiring expert hand-eye coordination or exposing them to questionable images. This guide will give you our top recommendations for the best Switch games for toddlers:...
Video game reviews can be notoriously deceptive. Reviewers may spend just a few hours with a game before writing it up. On the other hand, who is better qualified to review video games than someone who has spent years critically evaluating them? Here at TheToyZone we decided to crunch the numbers and figure out whether critics are really deceiving us – or if it‘s just gaming beef. We gathered critic and player ratings from Metacritic, the one place where reviews are available for all gaming platforms....
