Have fun burning some calories with the Jumparoo Boing II. The Jumparoo is very sturdy with its Y-shaped handle with foam grips that offers more hand positions than standard pogos, and greatly increases its control and ease of use. The rugged metal spring is completely encased by a steel housing, so there’s no possibility of pinching, and all surfaces are rounded for extra safety. Even the rubber “foot” is superior. It’s 3″ diameter is twice that of most pogos, for greater security and stability. Perhaps your child will get so jazzed about “BOING-ING,” they may try to beat the Guinness Book of World Records mark for distance: a little over 23 miles!

Y shaped, thick foam covered grips Sturdy spring fully encased in steel No slip foot rest Supports users between 86lbs and 160 lbs   UPC 728369111532   Manufacturer SKU 11153   Manufactured In Peoples Republic of China   Manufacturer Recommended Minimum Age 9 years

From the Toy Directory article “Best-Selling Specialty Toys for August 2011,” here is more info about the R/C URAV:

 This mini-helicopter is modeled after the latest generation of the U.S. military’s Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles, and excels at hovering and maneuvering in mid-air. With the thumb-sized infrared Remote Controller (R/C), URAV pilots can control the speed of the dual rotors, and thus the rate of descent and ascent. A “sweet spot” on the thumb switch of the tiny R/C lets it hover in place just like a real helicopter. With a range of 50 feet, this high-tech marvel can make friends with pigeons resting on telephone wires, or play tag with dragonflies. It’s built sturdily enough to withstand the occasional crash landing. The R/C also controls the craft’s dazzling LED light array. Requires 8 AA batteries (not included).

Personal Mugz Ice Cream Makers for Kids

2011/07/24 By angie 30 Comments

Now that we’re at the height of summer, we thought we’d share some fun ways to help you make the most of time spent outdoors and at play. Below, you’ll find all the great summer toys we recommend for fun in the sun, shade or water (plus links and videos).

NEW ICE CREAM MUGZ™ #10750:
These unique personal-sized Ice Cream Makers come in four Assorted animal characters: Penguin, Polar Bear, Dog, and Seal. These miniature ice cream makers take just three minutes to turn ingredients (sugar, milk cream, water, and anything else you’d like to add like nuts, raisins, or candy) into the smoothest, tastiest, freshest iced confection ever. And there’s no motor or batteries… the only energy required is a little vigorous shaking! Price is $11.99 each or get a Set of 4 (one of each character) for $39.99 (a savings of about $2 each).

NEW WATER BLASTER Floating Squirt Guns™ #12217 & #12218 (2 Sizes):
Suck it up…then blast it out. In a nutshell, that’s how both sizes of our new WATER BLASTER™ work. You get one long powerful, drenching WHOOSH of water, at distances of up to 20-feet for the JR.  Utterly soak unsuspecting targets! 

#12217 SR Water Blaster 12-inch has a 12-inch barrel and is $5.99. 

#12218 JR Water Blaster is a bit smaller, with a nine-inch barrel that is a bit easier to handle for smaller kids, and retails for $4.49.

JUMPAROO BOING! Pogo Stick:
#11152 Small BOING! I (44-86 lbs), and #11153 Large BOING! II (86-160 lbs):
The Geospace BOING! Pogo Stick truly stands out from other pogos on the market thanks to its unique patented design. First, the Y-shaped handle with foam grips that offers multiple hand positioning options, and greatly increases its control and ease of use. Second, the rugged metal spring is completely encased by a steel housing, so there’s no possibility of pinching, and all surfaces are rounded for extra safety. In addition, the 3″ diameter of the BOING’s rubber “foot” is twice that of most pogos, for greater security and stability. Finally, there’s a reason it’s called the “BOING!” — the Super-BOUNCE you can get on this sturdy, all-metal is truly amazing.

 
Each size (Large and Small) comes in BLUE or RED, and retails for $49.99.

WALKAROO™ II STILTS (Aluminum) #11112:
We have yet to find a child who doesn’t find the fun challenge of our WALKAROO to be utterly irresistible! The WALKAROO II is made of sturdy aluminum (instead of the steel used in the Original Walkaroo), which makes them easier to carry and quicker to maneuver. The patented ergonomic design allows users to walk in a more natural, upright position than traditional stilts. For kids or teens (ages 5+) weighing up to 110 lbs.
 
POP ‘N’ CATCH™ Double Set Game #12512:
Any backyard barbeque or picnic at the park would be made truly complete, so long as you have a POP ‘N CATCH Set on hand! The simple yet thoroughly enjoyable game comes with two hand-held launch & catch baskets and a ball, for either single person or 2-person play. Plus, it’s waterproof, so you can bring it to the pool too!

Simply aim your basket, then launch the ball to your partner by pressing the button with your thumb — Ball will POP up! The other player uses her basket to CATCH it. Then back and forth! It’s for ages 3 & up, is costs just $7.50.

Here is the Pop ‘N Catch VIDEO: http://youtu.be/viuahIU9s10

R/C POCKET POWER RACER™ Smallest Radio Control Car #27520: This little powerhouse is truly a “Micro” R/C car! About the size of a matchbox car, yet ultra-realistic, the POCKET POWER RACER is powered by 27 or 40 MHz radio-control technology (each color has a different frequency for multiple car racing). The tiny controller, which is also used to charge the car’s on-board lithium rechargeable battery, fits easily into small hands (as well as a pocket or backpack), and the entire set (car, controller, and “traffic” cones) stow in a soda-can sized “garage” for enhanced portability. Cool LED headlights light the RACER’s way in the dark! The RC Pocket Power is $21.99, and you can find the VIDEO below (“Car in a Can”).

SPINNERZ™ are a modern twist of the classic toy, the spinning TOP. The set includes 5 tops of various sizes, from the largest to the smallest, along with a “winder.” To get the SPINNERZ spinning fast, you just insert the winder into the top and wind it up. A press of the button on top of the winder sends the top, well, spinning! Each top can be set spinning one at a time, or you can try the fun challenge of  starting a new top spinning ON TOP of a larger top that is already spinning! For a real challenge, try to get all 5 spinning simultaneously, either near each other OR stacked, one on another!

While spinning, the largest SPINNER (the one on the bottom if you are stacking them) plays a fun light show! In fact, it plays 16 different tunes and has 64 different multi-colored light patterns. Replaceable batteries are included which power the sounds and lights.

SUPER SONIC SPINNERZ are Geospace item #12100. They currently retail for $11.99 per set.

Kids love ice cream. With new ICE CREAM MUGZ, kids will love making it almost as much as eating it! Distributed by GEOSPACE International, these innovative MUGZ are both a personal-sized frozen dessert MAKER and SERVER, which means less mess and fewer dishes to wash. They can be used to both MAKE the dessert (inside) and SERVE the dessert with minimal let kids design their own unique recipes to make amazing frozen creations using ingredients like milk, sugar, and cream, or juice — plus any number of add-ins such as nuts, raisins, or candy. No motor or batteries are needed: MUGZ are “kid-powered!” Simply place crushed ice and salt into the lower part of the cup, and fill the top with sweetened juice, milk or cream. Fasten the lid and shake. The salt quickly melts the ice, which makes the aluminum plate super-cold, turning the liquid into ice cream, ice milk, or sorbet.

The only energy needed is a little vigorous shaking, along with the super-cold help of ice cubes & salt into the lower part of the cup. Available in assorted animal characters (Polar Bear, Seal, Dog, Penguin). For Ages 4 & up. Simply place ice cubes and salt into the lower part of the cup, and fill the top with sweetened juice, milk or cream. Fasten the lid and shake. The salt quickly melts the ice, which makes the aluminum plate super-cold, turning the liquid into ice cream, ice milk, or sorbet.

ICE CREAM MUGZ™ were created by Jupiter Creations and are distributed in the United States by Geospace International. They can be found at specialty toy retailers and online, where they retail for $11.99.
