Twist and Shout Multiplication
It looks like a Jedi light saber (and surely more than oneStar Warsfan  will play with it as such), but this unique and colorful toy is actually a snappy way to  master multiplication. Create multiplication problems by turning and spinning the dials.  Then, with a click of a button, an LCD display screen lets you see and hear the correct  answer. Catchy music makes learning fun, and a friendly, cartoonish voice repeats the  answer, then encourages and congratulates with each success. Included are simple  instructions that make learning and using easy. This cool tool can be used to build math  equations, self-test, learn multiplication tables in sequence, or be tested with random  equations. Made of hard plastic, this item is extremely portable and has automatic shut- off. It is somewhat loud, however, so it's not appropriate for quieter environments.--Tom Keogh
