THE Gift to Buy This Holiday Season–Perfect for Ages 6 to 60
When you find a cool gift that you KNOW people are going to love, you just have to share it.
Well, I have the perfect gift for 2014’s holiday season. And no, I’m not being paid a dime to say that.
It’s the MaKey MaKey.
I saw it this week at the Hot Holiday Toy event, the HoliDay of Play, hosted by the Toy Insider.
There were lots of toys and some really great companies at the event, but the Makey Makey took the cake.
I honestly was blown away by this product and think you will be, too.
I think every kid I know who is old enough to understand just how crazy cool it is will want one.
It essentially is a circuit board and a couple of wires that allow you to turn pretty much anything into a musical instrument.
They gave me one to take home and put to the test (mainly because I was questioning whether any non-scientific guru like myself could actually figure it out on my own).
And guess what?
We took it out of the box and decided to turn a couple of celery sticks into a piano.
AND IT WORKED!!!!
Watch below.

You do need a computer to hook it up to for the sound to come out, but that’s it. You don’t even have to download software!
If you want one, you can only get it online right now for $49.95 (plus shipping). Here’s the site:
You can also turn it into a game controller by putting play-doh on a notepad. You’ll see that on their site.
I’m not kidding.
Pretty awesome, right?
