New, old-fashioned games...UK teens, Aaron (15) and Ava (13) Nathansonalways enjoyed playing word garnes during vaca-tions at the Rhode lsland, USA beachfront homeof their "Oompa," Abe Nathanson. Ava tells us,"one day, Oornpa said, 'this anagram garne isdriving me bananas: Bananagramsl'We all just

looked at each other and said 'that's it!"' With aiine of games including BananaErams, Applet-ters, Fruitominoes, and Pairs in Pears (among

others), tiles create word games with differentstrategies, each in its own brightly-sewn colorfulfruit-shaped pouch. Since launching the prod-uct in 2006, Bananagrams has won numerousawards such as the 2009 Toy of the Year Award,the 20i0 Cneative Child Magazine Game of theYear Award, and has been featured in publica-

Sox garne.Says Aaron, "our grand-

dad passed away last summer, andevery time we play, we think of himl"

Do guardian angels exist?When her mom told then eight-year-oid AllyMollo that her grandpa was her guardian angel,Ally loved the idea that someone was lookingout for her; and thouEht it would be neat i{ otherkids could have someone watching out for them.Ally, now 11, began to sketch and design angelsbased on her friends at school. Their business,called Custard 'N Jelly (see their website for thedistinctive name origin!) now features seven di-verse, colorful eight-inch dolls, with names suchas Cami, Lexy and Roxy; and, children can reg-ister online and personally choose one of threecharities as recipients of portions of proceedsof the sale of these dolls. They also came upwith the GARD idea - to have the dolls be partof a task force of angels, with magical skills, andtalents - and a very interactive website wherekids can color costumes for their own angel, andlearn how each doll got her wings. Even now,whenever cliquish fifth graders say somethingmean about someone, Aliy says, "l think about

rny guardian anEel, my Grampa, and that givesme comfort to not let things Eet me down. Thisis what I was hoping to give to other kids withthese angels."
