The Power Treads Full Throttle Pack
by WowWee comes with the super fun
Power Treads vehicle and 40 tracks...
but you actually don't need any tracks!
The great thing about the Power Treads
vehicle is that it can drive on almost
anything. Yes, the grandkids can use the
enclosed tracks, but encourage them to
get creativity and create courses with
boxes, paper towel tubes and more. No
apps, no remotes, just a fun vehicle that
can drive on all terrains.

Baby Yoda?
Nope, this is
the child

Star Wars The
Child Animatronic
Edition from Hasbro sure looks like
baby Yoda to us, but this toy simply
goes by The Child. Call it what you
like, we call it cool! Touch the top of
the head and activate over 25 sound
and motion combinations, including
happy and excited sounds, giggles, babbles, and more, all while the toy's head
moves up and down, ears move back
and forth, and eyes open and close.
Let the force be with you this holiday
season!
