2) App-Connected Lighted Keyboard
This super smart keyboard will teach you how to play—like an effective, patient teacher. Sync your device to the keyboard and your hands to the keys, where LED lights integrate seamlessly with the screen and guide you with step-by-step and hand-by-hand instructions. Pick from the library of videos and digital sheet music as you make your way from Twinkle Twinkle to one of Mozart’s concertos. You can stop, rewind, and slow down whenever you want. And when you’re not practicing, use your keyboard as a speaker to stream music.
3) Soccer Tabletop Board Game
The Soccer Tabletop Board Game by Plakks challenges you to score goals against your opponent, but with your fingers instead of your feet. Made with high-quality materials and fun for all ages.
4) Pack of Dogs Playing Cards
These playing cards are infused with charm and humor courtesy of original illustrations depicting adorable dogs. A story unfolds through each ace through 10 suit telling an engaging, pup-centric story, while the face cards star dogs dressed up as a pirate, a prima ballerina, and other colorful characters.
5) Kickable Birdie Game Set
The Kickable Birdie Game Set is where soccer meets badminton. The shuttlecock is engineered to be slower in the air and easy to kick so you can spend more time playing, having fun, learning tricks, and competing and less time picking it up off the ground. The full set includes a net with rust-resistant painted steel poles, a shoulder-carry bag for easy transport, and gameplay instructions.
