This palm-size remote control car can fly around your house at speeds up up to 9 mph, just like the ones you had as a kid. Unlike the ones you had as a kid, the Real Racer has a roof-mounted HD camera that connects to your phone, giving you a first-person view of you racing through the house with the included smartphone headset.

Sledding in plain rubber tire tubes is for kids. L.L. Bean’s Sonic Snow tube is the upgrade for adults, thanks to features like the stability handles and the handle leash for dragging it back uphill. Plus, it comes with a variety of great styles (our favorite is the Red Buffalo Plaid).

Designed to work with the Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit lets you set up any room in your house as a Maro Kart track. Place the gates at various spots along your homemade track, and the Switch displays coins, boxes, and the finish line in augmented reality while your Kart reacts in real-time to virtual powerups like mushroom boosts or when it gets blasted with a virtual shell. Plus, just like the video game, you can unlock track features, gates, and costumes as you play.

This ain't Monopoly. Dwellings of Eldervale, now in its second edition, combines, strategy, world building, magic, monsters, and war into an epic board game. Think of it as Settlers of Catan and Risk mixed in a blender with a Guillermo Del Toro film.

Remember those really really big LEGO builds you took on as a kid?They're even bigger now. Standing at just under five feet tall and with a whopping 10,001 pieces, nothing tops the LEGO Eiffel Tower for sheer size.

The only problem will be finding out where to put it.

NERF footballs are fun and eash to catch, but eventually you’re going to have to grow up and play with the real thing. The Duke is the official ball of the NFL, so when you play catch with it, you know you’re playing with the same ball the pros do. Just slower.

Pickleball’s popularity isn’t hard to explain - it’s easy to learn, hard to master, and it gives you an excuse to go sweat it up at the playground like you used to during recess.
