Build them up, knock them down - without doing any damage at all.

Fun for kids! And me too!  Demolition Lab from SmartLab lets kids build, then wreck the structures they design. The building cubes click together in pretty much any order. (It’s actually more like building a house of cards with great graphics of building parts on them.) Once built, the kid inserts a blaster inside and then hits a button on the Detonator to demolish it. There's a $20 Demolition Lab Mega Smoke Stack Kit which comes with one Detonator that fires in many directions at once. The bigger Demolition Warehouse Kit is $40 and offers more play. It comes with 100 building cards, three Detonators and sound effects! There's a warning siren and the sound of the explosions. Aside from the fun, kids just might learn a bit about power, force, momentum and gravity! Kits are recommended for kids 8 and up. You can find them on line for pre-order now. They'll ship in the fall.
