Six-year-old invents toy

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Sean Anderson, a six-year-old inventor, may have created the next seller as far as Christmas gifts are concerned.

The Westborough, Mass., youth invented "TinyTag," a miniature game of laser tag that fits on a key ring.

Sean, now eight years old, said: "I invented it by accident. My father, who was unemployed at the time, was watching Oprah on television. I came in the room with my laser gun and my dad returned fire with the channel turner. I picked up the car keys with the car door remote and fired back. That's where the idea started."

TinyTag, which has a range of 50 feet, comes with two devices per package. The toy is currently on the shelves in more than 1,000 toy and specialty stores across the United States.
