American Girl Bowling Alley

Even when they rolled gutter balls, kids stayed at the American Girl Bowling Alley, where balls auto-return for another try. A mini snack stand (not shown) delighted, but the main appeal was the game. Doll not included or required.

Zing Zax Throwing Axe

Unlike a real ax, the foam handle and suction cups on the Zing Zax Throwing Axe won’t hurt a window or an innocent bystander. But it does stick to surfaces with a satisfying thunk!
