Thumball
What it is: Subject-themed balls that stimulate conversation, interaction and learning. Each ball has 32 panels, each with a graphic, photo, letter, or word. Toss the ball and respond to whatever is under your thumb. There are different levels of play, depending on your skill level.
Why we love it: Both young and old can participate and it's a clever way to get people talking and interacting with each other. The "Letter Mania Ball" helps kids with their language skills while the "Ice Breaker" ball is a great way to get party guests talking to each other. And, when the Thumball game is over, you can always play a game of catch or soccer.
Who we'd give it to: Parents and Grandparents of Young Children. The "Who are You" or "Ice Breaker" balls would also be a great activities at Family Reunions or Kids' Parties.
Where to get it: From catch32ball.com for a conversation-starting $6.99.
