Awesome Kids

“Here’s what we’re gonna do… so that the operation isn’t gross.” A group of kids literally play doctor in Dean Fleischer-Camp and Jenny Slate’s charming short film, which wonderfully presents the sorts of things kids would actually say. We wonder how much of it was improvised.

A little kid riding his bike on the sidewalk in Sweden gets distracted by a traveling billboard for an adult’s only club, and hilarity ensues. Sure, it probably was a setup, but we laughed at the kid in Bad Grandpa too.

The only thing wrong with Urban Avenue’s Italian scooter-inspired rocker is that it’s designed for little kids, and us adults can’t fit on one. Someone needs to start building larger ones at adult scale, or maybe we need to head into the workshop this weekend.

YouTuber marxj1 shared this cute video of a little girl mistaking a broken water heater for a robot. We’re not sure what’s more fascinating: that her belief makes us believe as well, or that she’s familiar with the concept of a robot.

While in the middle of a very serious interview on BBC World News, a commentator’s kids busted into into the room, turning a normally cold and dull newscast into something much more entertaining. The part where his wife tries to retrieve them is priceless. Mirror here.

(PG-13: Language) It’s an experience many of us share – fighting with our siblings in the back seat of Mom’s minivan. Only this time, the younger kid has learned to swear like a truck driver, and her bigger brother is the best parent in the car.

Interactive design firm Eness developed these modular LUMES light-emitting wall panels. They can be veneered with various materials including fabric, acrylic, and even blended into wood walls. This particular piece is installed at Cabrini Hospital in Malvern, Australia.

A group of youngsters dropped by the The Tonight Show to demonstrate their inventions, each of which combine the sort of free thinking and whimsy that only kids could come up with. Jimmy Fallon’s products, on the other hand are a bit less practical.

“It’s bad and good at the same time.” While we’re good with yams and cranberries, some of the turkey day side dishes of the past seem a little bizarre, like oyster shooters and pickled walnuts. Bon Appétit asked kids to try some sides from the past 100 years.

A robotic play set that teaches preschoolers the basics of programming without text or complex rules. Cubetto is a cubic robot that is controlled by placing direction blocks on a control panel. It comes with maps and story books to make play time more fun.

The perfect gift for Star Wars fans of all ages, this new collection includes the charming Vader as good dad books, Goodnight Darth Vader and Darth Vader and Friends, along with two frameable art prints, all wonderfully illustrated by author Jeffrey Brown.

A kick-ass promotional spot for a kick-ass organization, this spot for the SickKids Foundation at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children features kids and hospital staff doing battle against whatever comes their way, unwilling to give in to disease, illness, or injury.

The word “baby” frequently turns up in song lyrics to refer to one’s girlfriend or significant other. Israel-based comedy group Tachles imagines what these songs would have been about if they were speaking of actual infants.

Qixels are tiny plastic blocks which fuse together permanently when you wet their sides. The new Qixels 3D kit now lets you create 3D voxel models one layer at a time, giving you a sort of Minecraft IRL 3D printer. Includes 600 blocks. 1200 additional blocks go for $18.

Unless they’re soaked in huge amounts of sugar, cranberries can be ridiculously sour. And even then, they’re still pretty tart. Despite the look on this toddler’s face, he keeps going back for more. It’s like our love/hate relationship with hot wings.

The latest short clip from Action Movie Kid sees 4-year-old James Hashimoto living out a popular fantasy, after doodling a chalk spaceship on the ground. Naturally, he had the help of his dad, VFX artist Daniel Hashimoto.
