It’s Finally Time for Some Outdoor Play

Spring has finally come and the weather is now conducive for outdoor play.  It’s time for the kids to put down those digital games (not that they don’t have merit) and grab a toy to exercise those gross motor muscles on terra firma.

I’d like to introduce you to a couple toys from SwimWays (Aerobie). I’m sure your children will enjoy these games with friends and family.

Aerobie Pro Ring™

•         For exhilarating flying disc games, the thin design of this flying ring allows the disc to travel longer distances and it features soft edges for comfortable catches.

•      The open center allows each player to personalize their throwing and catching style – catch the edge with your hand or use the center to catch it with your arm or foot.

•                This flying disc was used to set a Guinness World Record for the farthest throw, an amazing 1,333 feet (406 meters)!

•                Aerobie Pro Ring measures 13 inches in diameter.

•                Available in assorted colors and sold individually.

•                Recommended Age: 12+

•                MSRP: $9.99

Availability: Dick’s Sporting Goods,  REI, Academy, Olympia Sports, Amazon, Big 5, Meijer, Fred Meyer, Hobby Lobby, Scheels, and Dunham’s Sports

COOP Scatter Dodgeball™

•        A fun twist on the classic game of dodgeball, each player begins with two wristbands of the same color.  At the beginning of each round, players form a circle around the dodgeball while one player rolls the dice. Any player who is wearing a wristband that matches the color face-up on the dice is the thrower and may pick up the dodgeball while the other players scatter.

•                As the other players scatter, the thrower attempts to hit them with the dodgeball.  Players that get hit must surrender a wristband to the thrower. If the targeted player catches the ball, the thrower must surrender a wristband. 

•                The first person to collect all the wristbands wins!

•                Two to six players can play the game

•        Each set includes: 1 foam dice, 1 dodgeball (durable, sting proof ball), 12 wristbands (2 of each color) and game instructions

•                Recommended Age: 5+

•                MSRP: $19.99

•                Availability: Target, Amazon

Take a peek at these new spring/summer toys. I’m sure your kids will enjoy them.

Until next time! Happy Parenting,
