Toy Fair 2011: The 15 Smartest Toys for Young Geniuses

From teeny, video-equipped racecars to a paintbrush that makes music, TIME picks what's new and what's smart in 21st century playtime.

Celestial Buddies

A new line of cuddly plush toys introduced in late 2010, Celestial Buddies are irresistible stuffed planets that not only come with their own planet-unique details, but are sized to scale. Currently just the Sun, Earth, Mars and Moon are available, but the rest of the solar system isn't far behind. Each comes with a tag of facts specific to their own celestial body and are, pleasantly, much easier to snuggle with than the real thing.

Price: $17.99 - $29.99
