Our Summer Outdoor Must HAVES!

                                              Outdoor Summer Play MUST HAVES!

     Sky Bouncer, this is no ordinary “flying disc” this is a game changer. The Sky Bouncer is leaves all others behind with its flawless flight and super hero like ability to bounce off walls! Yes, leaving all others in its wake this disc can bounce up to 25 off of walls or floors, and fortunately for us not our children’s heads! This soft yet durable plastic toy is great for the beach used for a traditional game of short range Frisbee game on the beach or to make the old game of hand ball a little more exciting.  We have used this repeatedly since receiving it, and have had a blast doing so! The bounce technology makes this great to play with the kids, and can take a beating without breaking- even the dog loves it! He has gone after it several times and his teeth has not penetrated through the rubber.  Great for outdoor play get your kids away from the screens for a while and tire them out with the amazing Sky Bouncer!  

      

Finding Dory, Blow Up Ball Pit Jakks Pacific  : Finding Dory has filled our hearts up with joy- as we knew she would and now she can fill up our days with fun with this amazing blow up ball pit.  A wonderful product from Jakks Pacific this inflatable ball pit is small enough to fit inside the house (sized at 33.5”x34”x34) and durable enough to bring out side (placed on a sheet so you do not accidently puncture it with any random sticks etc.). It is the perfect size for ages 2 plus and includes 20 soft flex balls.  The fun graphics as well as the interactive play panel, ball toss roof and two crawl holes are guaranteed to keep the kiddos occupied for at least an hour (yea I timed it) and the price of $30.00 is perfect for your budget! We have used this to entertain toddlers during family get together and have really enjoyed not only watching them play, but the little bit of peace we received while they were entertained!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Big Wheel Turtle Racer is another great item that we received from Jakks Pacific! Who does not have memories of riding around like you owned the streets (or in our case sidewalks) in their very own Big Wheels when we were kids. In our case it was a nice bright yellow and red, but now your children can have the same adventures with their very own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed ride!Read our full review here!

     This Beach Basket Set comes from one of our very favorite companies American Plastic Toys and has already become a family favorite.  This eight-piece set features a large basket (duh) that holds a pail, shovel three sand shapers, and sand castle mold. The lid not only holds everything securely inside, but acts as a sand sieve when looking for gold- or you know shells depending on what type of adventure you are taking it on. Wash everything off in the ocean or at a rinse station and order one for their kids. I myself have purchased several as graduation and birthday gifts and have received rave reviews. Simple, well made, and affordable what more could you ask for? American Plastics has done it again!

Easter Must Haves!

We have an amazing line up of unique Easter basket fillers that will not rot your children's teeth, but will still have them all geared up for the holiday!



     First up, why not change the traditional basket with a fun wagon or wheelbarrow from American Plastic Toys! These items are made in America and are sooooo low cost you are not going to believe it! Just $5! That's right five bucks! These are great for ages 1 1/2 and up and they are a great size--the Wheelbarrow is 21 ¼” x 9 3/8” x 10 ½” and the Wagon is 16 ¼” x 9 ½” x 7 ½”. Think of all the ways you can fill these babies up!  These items are available at Walmart online, Kmart, as well as other big retailers.


       Next up from Hog Wild is the new and super magical Unicorn Popper!  These bad boys shoot soft foam balls from its majestic mouth up to 20 feet! And don't worry, they won't break anything- like a glass carefully placed on a fence by a fully grown woman who decided that this was her toy not her son's...ANYWAY!  All the kids have to do is squeeze the belly of the Unicorn to set the balls "poppin" through the air!  Six balls come with the item and are geared for ages 4 and up.  I would stick to the four and up because it can be hard for little hands to squeeze them, however they have plush poppers available as well that are easier for the little ones to squeeze!  Woo-hoo!  Might I make another suggestion?  Get a couple for yourselves; they are really fun and you WILL steal your child's and have to buy more anyway!  The Unicorn Popper is $9.99 and the Plush Poppers are somewhere in that neighborhood as well.  You can buy them at Bed Bath and Beyond or Matty's Toy Stop (if you are in Merrick, Long Island), Smart Toys in Green Acres Mall In Valley Stream, and Unique Hobbies in Bellmore, as well as Online!  Happy Shopping!
