ugee's ArtPlay Pad Turns Kids' Sketches Into 3D-Printed Toys

Shenzhen – September 18, 2026 -- ugee has launched the ArtPlay Pad, a children's drawing tablet that converts 2D sketches into 3D models and physical objects, available starting September 15, 2026, through the company's official shop.

EMR pen technology aims to replicate pencil-on-paper friction

Unlike most kids' tablets that rely on capacitive pens, the ArtPlay Pad uses professional-grade EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) technology with 16K pressure sensitivity, paired with a paper-like anti-glare display and full palm rejection. Amy Yuan, ugee's Global Brand Director, said the goal was to solve three problems: the slick, unresponsive feel of glass screens, the gap between flat drawing and 3D thinking, and eye strain from prolonged screen use.

Strider Launches Baby Balance Bike for Ages 0-18 Months

Rapid City – September 18, 2026 -- Strider Bikes has launched the Strider Baby Balance Bike, a toy designed for infants aged 0 to 18 months that transitions from tummy-time play to early walking support.

The bike doubles as a sensory toy before babies can even sit up.

The design features raised letters, numbers and shapes on the wheels, giving babies tactile stimulation during tummy time. Once infants can sit independently, they can spin the wheels and twist the textured handlebars to explore how the toy moves.

Four points of contact aim to teach true independent balance.

As babies progress to standing and walking, the two-wheeled design combined with a baby's own feet creates four points of ground contact. Strider says this setup helps children build independent balance more effectively than three- or four-wheeled toys that balance on their own.

Kiwibit's New Smart Feeder Shoots 4K Video of Your Backyard Birds

Irvine, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- Kiwibit has launched the Bird Feeder 2 Pro, which it calls the world's first smart bird feeder with 4K HDR imaging and auto-focus. The device went on sale in the United States on Sept. 15 through Kiwibit's website and Amazon.

The feeder brings phase-detection auto-focus to backyard birdwatching for the first time

An upgraded high-resolution image sensor and phase-detection auto-focus (PDAF) keep birds sharp as they move or change distance from the camera. HDR imaging preserves detail across both bright and shaded areas of the frame.

ICECO x Jeep® Launch Willys MB-Inspired APL35 Cooler

Brea, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- ICECO has partnered with Jeep® to launch the APL35 Limited Edition, a dual-zone 12V fridge freezer inspired by the 1941 Willys MB.

The design pulls directly from the original Willys MB's military heritage.

The cooler features a signature Olive Drab Green finish that echoes the military color tied to the Willys MB. Genuine leather accents appear on the buckles and carry handles, referencing the leather straps and utility gear found on the original vehicles.

Field-ready details reference the vehicle's original tool kit.

Rich brown accents nod to the pioneer tool kit -- including the axe and shovel many Willys models carried -- while rope-inspired detailing mirrors gear often added to vehicles in the field. Olive green, leather, wood-inspired, and rope elements combine into a design rooted in the Willys MB's visual heritage.

Yamaha's Tiny New Sound Bar Packs Dolby Atmos Into 23.5 Inches

Buena Park, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- Yamaha has unveiled the B200A, a 23.5-inch Dolby Atmos sound bar aimed at bedrooms, apartments, home offices and gaming setups where space is tight. The compact bar will cost $249.95 and hits shelves in November 2026.

The B200A squeezes 3D audio into a small footprint

Yamaha combined Dolby Atmos with its Hi-Fi engineering background to build an audio field around listeners rather than just projecting sound forward. A built-in subwoofer handles low-end output, and a Bass Extension mode adds extra punch for movies and games without requiring a separate subwoofer unit.

"The B200A was designed for people who want better sound without giving up valuable space," said Alex Sadeghian, Yamaha's director of consumer audio. He said the bar targets bedrooms, apartments, home offices and gaming setups where users want immersive sound in a simple, everyday package.

Ollie Launches Holiday Feast, a Fresh Turkey Dinner Made Just for Dogs

New York – September 18, 2026 -- Ollie, the human-grade fresh dog food brand, is rolling out a seasonal recipe called Holiday Feast, giving dog owners an alternative to sneaking table scraps to their pets this year.

The recipe combines turkey and turkey liver, sweet potatoes, cranberries, butternut squash, green beans, and spinach, gently cooked and formulated by the brand's veterinarians, chefs, and food scientists. It meets AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, including large-breed growth for dogs over 70 pounds as adults.

Holiday leftovers can be risky for dogs, Ollie says

Common holiday staples like turkey skin, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, and pumpkin pie can be harmful to dogs, according to the brand. Holiday Feast is positioned as a safer, dog-specific substitute rather than handing over plate scraps.

Red Bull Athlete Flies Wingsuit Slalom Through Cappadocia's Balloons for Philips

Smart Dosing cuts refills to once a month
