How cool it would be to help save the planet with the wave of a magic wand? Kids can also kick up some fun this spring with a scooter that’s ready to ride and bubbles that keep on blowin’.

Presto planet! The Green Magic Set ($30, imagiplay.com) features three eco-friendly tricks that will bring out the environmentalist in everyone. A Green Energy Cube lets magicians read people’s energetic minds, while Pollution Paddle can make a toothpick “jump” from one hole to another. Eco Wands let kids grow a string and then shorten it again. Everything needed to perform these tricks is made of bamboo and rubberwood, and comes in a wooden box.

Bubbles can be a blast, especially when they keep on coming! The No-Spill Bubble Blitzers ($5-$7, littlekidsinc.com) continuously feed bubble liquid to the wand, so there’s never a “dry” moment. Kids simply fill the product with bubble liquid, close the cap and starting blowing. Bubble Blitzers are available in the Glitter Critter assortment—with wings that spin—and a Nickelodeon trio of Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go! and The Backyardigans.

Kids can jumpstart their scooter riding with a little extra boost of energy. The Razor Spark Kick Scooter ($70, razor.com) boasts a specially designed Spark Bar that riders step on to watch sparks fly. Kids are bound to get all fired up when they’re out on the streets with this scooter.
