Marshmallow Holder

Roasting marshmallows over a campfire and making s’mores on a summer night is a classic experience. But cooking food over an open flame also could lead to kids getting burned or poked with metal skewers. In search of a safer option, one dad invented the Marshmallow Mitt. Made of high-temperature food-grade silicon with no sharp points, it features a five-finger design that grasps marshmallows and eliminates the chance of dropping your treats. The telescoping rod extends to 40 inches long, so you can roast and toast s’mores from a safe distance. The available color options are glow-bright green and tangerine orange. An EZ Server is included with purchase to provide a no-contact option for removing marshmallows from the Mitt. Price is $14.95. The company also offers the Hotdog Mitt at the same price.

Beach Cart

Planning on heading to the beach this summer? A day by the ocean is great for the whole family. Kids can play and swim in the water, and parents and grandparents can relax and soak up the sun’s rays. One of the downsides to a beach trip is carrying everyone’s things, whether it’s toys, a cooler, or chairs. Tommy Bahama’s Wonder Wheeler beach cart has a capacity of 100 pounds and can hold a 48-quart cooler and four beach chairs. Its large mesh storage pouch has separate compartments, so you can bring everything you want with ease. The removable tote has a shoulder strap and zippered insulated drink holders. An umbrella holder also is provided. When you’re all done taking the kids to the ocean, lake, pond, or river, you can simply fold the cart for storage. Price is $198.
