 My Thoughts:


The one thing my husband misses about not having a boy is that he can't relive some of his favorite childhood memories of playing with his GI Joe dolls and using water guns with his brothers.  Instead, he has traded in these activities for tea parties and dress up and dancing. :-)  But, when his nephew comes to visit, he has a secret stash of "boys toys," ready to pull out and enjoy.  One of these toys is the new Z-Curve Bow from Zing Toys.  I know what you must be thinking, a cross bow for a little boy -- "Isn't that dangerous?"  Thanks to the folks of Zing Toys, this popular spring toy uses foam for the bow and arrows, preventing young children from getting hurt.  They can learn the art of cross bow, while getting out and getting exercise.  


Zing Toys is offering 3 different types of bows for children to choose from.  I was sent the Z-Curve bow to have my husband use and review.  Never having shot a bow and arrow before, he wasn't sure if he would be a good reviewer candidate.  But, after reading the easy to understand directions, he was firing his foam arrows across the yard.  He couldn't believe the distance these arrows got. And, after 20 minutes of play, I had to drag him in the house for dinner.  


It has been over a week since he began using this hot, new toy, and every time my nephew comes over, he asks to play with this toy with my husband.  Are you looking for a fun way to get your children to get outdoors this spring/summer?  Why not get them one of the above foam bow and arrow toys from Zing Toys?  They even offer Pop Rocketz, also made of foam, which can reach up to 50 feet in the air.
