Tomorrow Eva and I are going to go Monster Hunting. We’ve been working on creating monsters for the past few month for this event. I’ve gotten a bunch of blasters and dart guns for years and figured that we could come up with some way to use them together.
The house is under a sickness this weekend. The kids aren’t feeling great. I’m home sick today and Allison hasn’t been feeling well, either. We shared a family movie and somehow all managed to remain awake until it was actually time for bed. Allison made a great Italian Wedding soup which was just what we needed.
With movies where stars are picking up bow and arrows it makes sense that there would be some toys that follow the trend and allow kids to recreate those heroic moments from movies like Brave and more in a fun and safe way. Zing Toys has a whole great line of Air Storm toys that use their Zarts (Foam Darts) that shoot from bows and crossbows. We were lucky to receive an Air Storm Z-Tek Crossbow with three Zarts. The first time I used it I completely misjudged how far they would fly and put one right on the porch roof. I had to sneak out when everyone was gone to retrieve it. This fun crossbow can shoot 45 feet and the Zarts can stick to all sorts of things. The toy is for kids 8 and up and there is even a safety on it. But with all toys that fire projectiles never aim them at people or animals. There is a target included in the package.
