Thanks to living in the bay area of California, we’re still enjoying some of the best weather we’ll have all year, so it’s perfect for us that we got to play with some fantastic toys from Zing Toys.
The biggest hit at our house were the Zoom Rocketz! These little rockets can be angled in any direction you want, and then you slam your foot down to launch them. POW! They can hit heights of up to 200 feet, making it fun to watch them launch, see how high they go, and then wait to watch it fall back to earth. They bounce nicely on the ground and never once did any of the kids playing with it get hit by one. And we attracted quite a few kids!
Our other toy to try didn’t end up with great action shots by me, thanks to the boys taking off down the street to have blaster wars together. This toy is called the ZoomZooka. It’s an innovative double blaster that shoots both air and water, though our family stuck to air at this point. The little rockets have suction cup darts on the end, and they can shoot over 50 feet. (Water can also be shot that far — I think we need to try that on a hot day!) This makes the toy versatile, being both an indoor and outdoor toy.
What I love most about Zoom toys is that it gets my kids moving. They laugh, they play, they run around, they interact with friends — it’s a win win scenario every time! Anything that gets them off the couch and moving is top notch in my book!
