Kids will love these quirky little toys that begin as dolls (squeeze them, and they squeak). But if you look closely, their "eyes" are made of seeds -- and literally, when you bury them head-first under soil, their rubber "skin" decomposes and they grow into plants! They come in three varieties: pumpkin, melon, and tomato.

Half the fun of gardening for little ones is finding all the creepy crawlies that roam amongst the plants. And the Bug Vacuum offers the extra thrill of checking them out up close. The battery-powered vacuum sucks up bugs unharmed into a plastic chamber, where kids can then view them through a magnifier before releasing them back into nature. For ages 5 and up.
