Spy Motion Alarm
Being a spy, even a pretend one of the sort so popular with modern kids, is not just about peering into the affairs of others. Sure, snooping around and trying to solve some sort of thrilling caper might be a big part of a spy's life but a good gumshoe must also know when they are the ones being spied on. This handy little motion alarm, looking highly space-age but otherwise somewhat nondescript, sets up neatly in a doorway, backpack, locker, or anywhere and emits a tiny laser beam that detects movement from up to 20 feet. An LED indicator lets you know when it's on. Granted, this isn't the most sophisticated toy in the world in terms of features and functionality but for youngsters concerned about privacy, it's a fun gadget to have around.--Charlie Williams
