16 Gifts for Kids the Adults Will End Up Playing With

I don't know Magnus, but based on the looks of his Incog Water Gun - sleek, svelte, and stealthy - I'd be on his team for a water fight. Honestly, with a name like Magnus, I'd feel pretty comfortable being on his team for a bar fight or, like, a fight to save Earth from hostile aliens too.

But let's stick with the water fight for now. In a nod to MI5, the Incog Water Gun reimagines your standard squirt gun or Super Soaker as a more stylish, and easily hidden, blaster of H2prOjectiles. Team Magnus says the Incog also feels more ergonomic to hold and use, and is more in line with "modern kids' gadgetry."

If you've never been hit in the face with a basketball, the ceilingSWISH indoor mini basketball hoop is the perfect opportunity to get in some good practice. At least the "rock" that comes with this ceiling-mounted hoop and net looks soft enough that you won't break your nose every time hand-eye coordination fails you on the rebound. Or...yuk, yuk, yuk...shoot your eye out.

I don't really understand how this PanGogh batter art pancake griddle works, but as long as there are delicious pancakes that look like delicious ice cream cones at the end of it, I'll leave that to the kids to figure out.

The electric griddle comes with 2 nonstick templates and 4 batter bottles for creating colorful and delectable ice cream cone and lion flapjacks. You can buy additional templates separately, or freehand your edible artwork with the combination of fine-tipped and standard-tipped batter bottles.

Nobody likes a birthday cake iced in spit. And now, nobody likes a birthday cake iced in COVID either. Blowzee, in response to kids with unruly saliva and a world with a persistent pandemic, has developed a fan for blowing out birthday candles. A dual battery- and lung-powered fan that captures flying spiticulates in a straw-like barrel as you blow into it.

Usually T-Rex is all about shoving things into his mouth, but here in T-Rex Foam Dart Gun form he takes a turn at spewing them out. His resultant destruction and turmoil remain the same. Nice shot, T-Rex! You hit my mama's neighbor's fat cat, Willard, right in the keister!

The T-Rex toy gun comes with 26 standard foam darts that load into the dinosaur's mouth, cock with the twist of his tail, and then fire right back out with a pull of his leg. Ha! A pull of his leg! Who'da thought T-Rex would be a good sport about having his leg pulled?

The All-Terrain RC Batmobile is the latest toy in DC and Spin Master's Bat-Tech collection. It features performance tires that will trundle it over dirt and rocks, uphill and down, and even through snow and water. The 2.4GHz dual joystick controller drives the ATBatmoVile in any direction, and from up to 100' away. The RC toy is also designed to allow racing of up to 6 vehicles at one.

The Pool Punisher reminds us there are pool floats that mean pool floatin', and pool floats that mean pool business. And this inflatable tank with a built-in water cannon means pool business. The giant pool toy does a decent job of shaping and decorating itself like a military tank ready for battle, and an even better job of taking that battle to water with its "armor": a deep inset seat for a single rider; and a pump action squirt gun able to blast liquid ammo up to 50'.
