Lest you think of darts as a grown-up bar game, companies like Zing, Nerf, and a new one called Kooba are bringing it to the kiddie set. Suction cups and magnets make toy versions safe and soft for little ones to play with, and it's a great exercise in hand-eye coordination.
For the third year running, archery also continues to be a major trend. Nerf is still improving upon, and adding to, its Rebelle line of Hunger Games-inspired bows and arrows geared toward girls, and it's not alone. The skill that many of us learned at sleepaway camp will continue to make a big statement in the big kids' toy market in the coming year.
