So it's cold outside and your kids want to stay inside all day and play video games? Let's be honest here: even I want to stay inside and play video games! But if you're trying to think of a way to coax your kids out of the house, I think I've got just the thing for you: Razor's Ripstick Caster Board!

This unique board looks like a skateboard but has in-line scooter caster trucks and a pivoting deck that allow your child snowboard-like carving ability for a completely different and exciting experience. It also has a concave deck for increased foot control so that your child can accelerate and turn without pushing off--or falling off.

It's actually very different from a skateboard since you don't have to touch the ground in order to continue moving. This is a great way to keep your kids active and help them work on strength and balance. Of course there's always the possibility of falling, so you should probably wait until your child is around 10 before you get him or her one of these. The Ripstick Caster Board comes in several cute colors including pink, red, and silver. Take note: this is not just for boys.

Maybe while you're at it you should get one for yourself. Trust me, you could be the coolest parent on the block!

As I was saying last week, everyone's got football fever right now! But as much as I like to watch football, I don't necessarily want to play it. If you feel the same, don't worry: Tailgate Toss offers some family-friendly alternatives to get you outside with your kids (even if you don't understand all the rules of football).

Football Bolo Toss is a simple backyard game that you and your kids will enjoy. This is how the game works: each team has three football bolo throw toys and each team takes turns throwing. Every time your football bolo toy lands on a rung you earn points(each rung scores different points). Pretty simple, right? No complicated rules, no tackling (!), but plenty of opportunities for some good, old fashioned family competition.

The game includes two metal goal posts, four goal post flags, two goal post pads, six team colored football bolo throw toys and game and assembly instructions. Aren't the goal posts cute? It's easy to assemble and take apart and even easy to store. It's recommended for ages eight and up.

This would be a big hit at a football themed birthday party. The game is designed for 2 to 4 players but you could easily organize a mini tournament if you had more kids playing. It could end with a "Birthday Bowl"--and bowls of ice cream for all the competitors, of course.

We're in the midst of football playoffs and the Super Bowl is just around the corner! All over the country little boys and girls are falling in love with the sport for the first time. Help them get into the spirit with NFL bedding from Sports Coverage!

Since I was born, raised, and live in New England, I had to feature the New England Patriots Bedding Series-especially in honor of their perfect season! Of course Sports Coverage offers bedding for every NFL team.

The Twin Sheet Set includes 1 fitted sheet, 1 top sheet, and 1 pillow case, while the Full and Queen Sheet Sets include an additional pillow case. The sheets are 100% cotton so they're soft and durable (and machine washable). But what I really love is that most of the bedding is made from 100% polyester jersey mesh. That definitely gives it a uniform feel. So cute! I'm sure plenty of little football fans would love to have this creative bedding so that they can proudly declare what team they support.

Remember, too, that bedding is not permanent. So if in a couple years your child develops a new passion for the Colts instead of the Pats(say it ain't so), that other type of football, or maybe ballet, you won't have to repaint the walls or redecorate the entire room to match-you just might have to remake the bed. Just something to keep in mind.

Check out all of our sports themed bedding at All Children's Furniture! And GO PATS!
