Robots, Minions and more: ParentsCanada's top toy picks
Each year ParentsCanada magazine shows off what's hot in the world of toys for kids. This year's picks include a DIY robot arm, a horse-riding Barbie and farting Minions.
The Morning Edition will share a pick each day
If you're looking for great gifts for kids, or maybe you're a big kid looking for yourself, ParentsCanada magazine has some suggestions.
Editor Janice Biehn stopped by The Morning Edition to show host Sheila Coles what toys she thinks will be hits this Christmas season.
The Morning Edition will be featuring a toy each day, and today's is great if you need an extra hand during the holidays, literally.
Vex Robotic Arm by HexBug
CONCEPT:
Kids can construct a robotic arm using 400 pieces. It takes a couple hours to put together, and the arm doesn't use any batteries. Once it's constructed, the arm can rotate and pick up items. Biehn says it taps into kids' problem-solving abilities.
AGE: 8 and up
COST: from $45 to $75
