I may be old but I love my toys! Seriously, I have always loved toys and I still collect and play with certain toys. That also makes me a cool grandmother because all the kids know they’ll be getting the top of the line, the newest trend, and the best of the best. Kids get bored easy now-a-days so you have to be very clever with what you’re getting them or its’s money out the window. With that said I want to tell you about a few toys that you will want to grab for your kids or grandkids, that is…. if you want to be the cool one…LOL
All Pro Passer
My two grandsons play football and the All Pro Passer is the perfect “buddy” to keep them out in the yard practicing. Now you don’t have to be out there passing with them all the time. Yes, this grandmother can throw a spiral and catch a football too! The All Pro Passer throws a perfect spiral every time and can throw up to 25 yards. You can choose from 9 different passing zones which lets you practice hundreds of plays. Even if friends are over, everyone can play. You can play one-on-one, three-on-three or with as many players as you want. You can even practice catching on your own!
Wubble Groovy
I handed this to my grandson and he played with these Groovy Glow Wubbles ALL DAY! He was even able to blow them up himself (mostly). We did take out the compressor and blow one up. The balls blow up pretty big and the kids were all trying to get in on the action. They were passing the bubble balls “Wubbles” and bopping each other. All you heard was laughs. You can pinch it to carry it and it doesn’t pop. The tie-dye design was awesome and he coukdn’t wait to get home and look at it when it got dark because it glows in the dark. They loved how they would pass it like a ball but it floated like a bubble. Adults were getting in on the Wubble too!
Smithsonian Prehistorian Sea Monster Kit
This Smithsonian Prehistorian Sea Monster Kit teaches the kids so much and it’s also entertaining. They can follow the direction themselves and hatch their own prehistoric pet! They add the eggs and watch them hatch into life and grow. They feed them and watch them play, fight, and do tricks. They Grow to More Than 20X Their Original Size and it’s an actual 220-Million Year Old Species that comes to life. This is such a wonderful learning experience!
Tip: Triops have 3 eyes. Their middle eye goes toward light so they stay upright. If you have them in the dark and use a flashlight, you can make them flip and swim upside down.
Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig Kit
Do you have a little geologist who talks about types of gems and rocks? This Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig Kit will give them the thrill of being in a real site and digging up for precious stones. The kit includes a sand block containing 11 real gemstones, minerals or rocks, a mallet, a dowel, a pair of goggles, a streak plate, a magnifying glass, a pouch and a color poster with instructions. The kids will get so excited as they learn how rocks and minerals are formed. This will also help them identify gemstones and minerals. This is perfect for the digger!
Any of the above will keep the kids entertained and probably you too! If you’re getting them for your grandchildren, you will want these ones for your house! There are a few more by Wubble and Smithsonian below that you can choose from too.
