Hark, a toy that not only lets a kid use their imagination but also has physical play attached to it that does not try to dumb down the experience. We have found such a toy in the Zing Firetek line! Both the Rocket and Bow are toys that the kids are going crazy for this spring.
Zing has created a bow that is easy to load and easy to hold while being small enough to run around with. It also has “arrows” that are sturdy enough to stand the test of time (and also big enough to not get lost). The kids have played all sorts of shooting games to knock the cans off the table to shoot the arrow through a hoop at varying distances among many others. The whistle of the arrows and their ability to hold a decent flight path due to their weight makes these games much more skill based for the shooter.
The Firetek Bow is a great device to play with during the day but once the lights go down this thing turns into one of the coolest toys on the planet. While this may not be a sanctioned Zing use, the kids have been playing both day and night archery tag. The object of the game is just like tag but the person with the bow can shoot the arrow at the person to make them it. They have a grand time and this is currently their favorite outdoor event. Once you get to play at night with the light up bow and arrows there is nothing quite like it. You get to see the “it” person and then you stand a better chance to get away, or do you? That steaming beam of light (which is really just the arrow), will give you a quick whistle before it either hums past you and you live to fight another day, or hit you causing you to be it.
Light up the DAY and NIGHT with the FIRETEK BOW! The ultimate foam bow & arrows – now with blazing light-up power! Fire up the ZONIC BLAZE whistling arrows. Hook the arrows in the fast load loops, then READY, AIM, FIRE! Watch as they light up the sky and scream through the air up to 145 feet! You’ve got the POWER with the FIRETEK BOW!
The Firetek Rocket is like a shooting star during the nighttime and the kids have come up with multiple ways to play with it. They have shot it up in the air to see how high they can get it, they shoot it in the air to see if they can get it to land in certain circles they make on the ground, and they also shoot it in the air and try to catch it on the way down.
Light up the DAY and NIGHT with the FIRETEK Rocket! With a bungee-launched system – and now with blazing light-up power! Fire up the FIRETEK whistling rockets, then READY, AIM, FIRE! Watch as they light up the sky and scream through the air up to 250 feet! You’ve got the POWER with the FIRETEK ROCKET!
Make sure you have the ladder handy though if you plan on playing with the rocket around the house, because even though you tell your kids to not shot it anywhere near the house you will end up with a rocket on your roof at some point.
The easy to use launch system, the price point, the quality of the products make them a winner. In the foam war, Zing has launched another shot that will sure to make them a must have toy for the summer. Two great products that have been keeping the whole neighborhood busy and don’t be surprised if Mom gets involved in a few games of Firetek Bow tag as well.
