Here's a great, new toy from Fisher-Price that will keep your kids busy this summer and will go easy on your wallet. It's the Give Me Five Sports Center and it's really five games in one!

This toy is perfect for sports-lovers ages 3 to 9. With this one toy kids can play basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and hockey! It's all thanks to the clever design, which layers each sport on top of each other from goal sports (hockey and soccer) to throwing sports (baseball and football) to the basketball hoop right at the top. It comes with 4 balls and a hockey stick so your kids can start playing with it as soon as it arrives.

Be prepared for all the neighborhood kids to come over to check it out, too. Good thing this toy is perfect for groups of kids playing a game or just one kid playing by him or herself.

I love that so many sports can be played in one toy. It means less storage space is required for one thing. Plus you know your kids will get lots of use out of it without getting sick of it. And who says it has to be used for sports anyway? Your kids can make up all sorts of games using rubber balls or bean bags to get the full mileage out of this cute toy. With some encouragement from mom and dad, your kids could be creating their own games and flexing their imaginations in no time (not to mention their muscles).

Parenting Magazine named the Give Me Five Sports Center one of its "Hot Toys for the Great Outdoors" in their July 2008 issue. What's even better is that this toy can be used indoors or outdoors so whether it's sunny or stormy, your kids can still enjoy it.
