Quite surprisingly we’re informed that in the Bronx Zoo there’re several animals seldom moving or eating but keeping in merely one single posture. Why and what happened? The truth is bit of interesting, as all those animals mentioned above are actually life-like statues made out of LEGO. So how do you like them? If you’d like a tour to the Bronx Zoo, you can ask for a LEGO Zoofari Passport along with your ticket for a comprehensive guide to the installation’s whereabouts, and collect 6 different stamps for souvenir-like proof of your visit there.

What’s this, a huge cube? Of course it is, but it’s exactly also a three dimensional kite formed by 1,700 3D printed connected segments. It seems extremely bulky, but can actually levitate steadily due to its lightweight composition of carbon fiber rods and cubenfibre aerospace fabric.

Stuffed animals used to be inanimate toys that can only get moved by the humans; but now they can successfully move on their own, with the aid of the Pinoky—a small, ring-like device that wirelessly brings stuffed animals to “life”. It uses a micro controller, a Zigbee input device and a servo motor system to move an animal’s hands and legs, also with a set of photo sensors designed to measure the angle at which it bends. Thus simply pin the Pinoky onto your stuffed animals, and you will then see them move and dance automatically. Really funny, huh? You can get it as a Christmas gift for your kids.

The theory is that we usually need clever design and careful work if we’d like to successfully have many domino blocks fall down one after another. But the Esper Domino can “feel” each other and automatically fall down after we push down the first one with our fingers. And please see the picture more carefully: none of the domino blocks is placed close to one another and they cannot push others down while acting.

Although we’ve always been thinking that it is much easier to get money than to keep it, the so-called Rubik’s Cube Bank proves getting a coin is almost as difficult as keeping one. Designed by Tokyo-based MegaHouse, the new piggy bank asks you to solve the yellow side to put into a coin and get the green side to have the center tile pop out when you need one.

Everyone has a secret, and so do the kids. They’re growing up, learning something new from their parents and teachers every day, and at the same time they’re experiencing the growing pains. To help children aged between 6 and 9 effectively cope with stress and fears, Emi Schenkelbach has designed the cute toy named as Echo. It has an acoustic pipe running from its ear to the belly, so as to record and repeat the words that the kids have said to it. Since the voice will be modified in the belly, no one else would know clearly what Echo is saying so that the kids can keep their secrets. Besides, the voice from Echo will also create unique sound effects to make the children laugh heartily.

I always thought of slingshot as a toy especially created for naughty boys, as we often saw young boys sending stones or balls onto girls. But the SMS Slingshot designed by Berlin based VR/URBAN has changed my opinion. It is a handheld digital slingshot device that can send color splashes and text messages onto public screens. There’s a mobile built in the wooden device to store messages and a laser to blast those contents onto nearby screens via a projector. So just as what you can see from the video below, the user keys in the messages, shoots the slingshot, and then he/she can find a color splash appear on the screen with the text inside.
