Changeable Silly Putty, $1.69: This isn't your mother's putty: It changes color with the warmth of your hand, bounces like rubber, stretches like taffy and lifts off pencil marks. Dubbed "the real cool solid liquid," it comes shaped like an egg. Made by Binney & Smith, Changeable Silly Putty is not for children younger than 3.

Splash Bombs Flings, $2.99: This foam flying disc comes in a colorful swirl of bright neon pink, green and yellow. Because you can soak it with water, it's fun in the yard or at the beach. For ages 4 and older. By Prime Time Toys Ltd.

Marshmallow Peeps, on sale for 33 cents each: There's more to Easter sweets than chocolate. Pick a pack of Peeps — scary to some, yummy for others — for a fat-free (hence, guilt-free) treat. By Just Born Inc.
