Little kids love Hot Wheels. Instead of another set of tracks, save yourself some floor space and ease them into the world of electronics. Emerson has four Hot Wheels-themed devices: a boombox, a clock radio, two-way radios, and a personal CD player. Nothing too high-tech, but it should get them pretty revved up about electronics. One of our favorites is the boombox, which features 3-inch flame speakers and a CD-R/RW player with LED track display, programmable memory and an AM/FM radio. Another, the clock radio, has a hotrod shape, wheel volume controls, and a reflector night light. All four items are available at Toys R Us.
Price: $24.99 to $49.99
