The International Toy Fair at Javits Center has many toys that can help children explore the world and learn. NY1's Technology reporter Adam Balkin filed the following report.

At the annual International Toy Fair in the Javits Center, parents can find educational and constructive toys that they can give to their children with a good conscience.

American Innovative's latest Teach Me Time clock, which is due out later this year for $25, is shaped like an owl and can teach children to tell time, as well as keep kids in bed until they need to get up.

"There's an interactive button on the chest," says Adam Hocherman of American Innovative. "Depending on what time your child presses it, it prompts your son or daughter to either go back to sleep with a lullaby and a message, or if it's very close to wake-up time, to stay in bed just 15 minutes longer. Or if it's after wake-up time, it says 'Okay' and plays jaunty little music."

Many other toys in the exposition have educational qualities. Uncle Milton has a second round of Star Wars-themed toys due out later this year that illustrate science principles.

Be Amazing Toys also offers up household experiment kits for between $5 and $40 that literally work magic while teaching their lessons. Children can use the kits to "create" worms or even snow.

"We use a lot of products called polymers. They come in different forms," says Richard Romney of Be Amazing Toys. "For example, they can become the shape of an ice cube and then when you add water to the ice cube, they disappear. So we talk about how light refracts. These are activities that are fun and safe and have a real wow factor to them."

Another gadget, the so-called "TV Hat," lets a tiny monitor hang down from the bill of a cap, and could help placate children and prevent backseat fights.

"What you can do is put your mp4 [player] in the front -- right now I have my iPod Touch, it's velcro. Slide it in there so then there is a drop-down magnifying glass, that you can adjust and then you can just plug in your earbuds," says Nicole Durant of SKM Industries. "Then you're set for a long camping trip, an airplane [flight], on a bus."

Currently available for $30, the TV Hat also has dual-purpose flaps on the side for blocking out glare from the sun or unbelieving glares from people.
