Summer is here, so what better time to take a look at some of the neatest new toys to keep kids happy and occupied?

We got to play with a few fun new toys that are perfect for the season.

Little Tikes Garden Bubble Leaf and Lawn Blower

Manufacturer: Imperial Toy

Adults and kids can enjoy the Little Tikes Garden Grow product line for Spring 2011. The standout player for me is the battery operated Garden Bubble Leaf and Lawn Blower that blows TONS of bubbles and makes a revving sound with every squeeze of the trigger.

The clear window takes the guessing out of refill time, and is easily accessible through the opening on top of the blower.

This has a realistic look and feel of a yard blower, the Garden Bubble Leaf and Lawn Blower not only supplies kids with fun, but may help them to learn the value of grown up chores, and build confidence in the act of doing a good job. For the older kids, it's just another innovative bubble delivery system that can entertain too.

Little Tikes Bubble Solution is included. Available at Toys “R” Us nationwide. Ages 2+

Manufacturer: Nickelodeon

For the older kids, time to trick out a phone with Dora the Explorer, iCarly, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Last Airbender.
