COMIC ADVENTURES
If your child loves
to draw and get lost
in illustrated stories, they will love the My Comic Book Kit ($30), which includes
markers, tracing pen, pencil, sharpener and ready-to-use pages so they can create
their own comic adventure! Once the story is complete, mail the pages (a pre-paid
envelope is supplied) for it to be made into a professionally bound comic book.

One of the popular games
from last holiday season
was Pie Face Showdown
($24.99). Each player
places their head through
the mask and races to see
who can hit their button the fastest in tug-of-war style. Push the button
down faster to move the loaded arm closer to the opponent. Players
must move quickly or someone will end up with a whipped cream
(not included) in the face! Available at Toys “R” Us, Target and Walmart
TRIVIA FOR A NEW GENERATION
Who didn’t play Trivia Pursuit growing up? The game has
now been updated for the new millennium. Trivia Pursuit

the group to get ahead. Avoid getting stumped as a
group by working together to answer the 2000s-related
questions correctly. The first player to fill up the scoring
token with all six scoring wedges is the winner. Available
