It’s hard to think about Summer when Spring is just starting to bloom, but you can bet your kiddos already have half of their outdoor adventures planned. 
Riding your bike to the park, playing hopscotch on the driveway and shooting some hoops at the local playground are just a part of the fun your child will have. I used to love going to the local outdoor pool almost every day with my sister and friends. Splashing around, then getting a Popsicle after for the walk home. Sigh…the good ole days. Even without a pool you can help your own kiddos have some outdoor fun this summer with some really cool new items from Funrise Toys!
From bubbles to boulders and yes, even boogers, Funrise Toys has a great line up of toys to keep your young ones busy for hours on end, all while getting some fresh air and enjoying the sunshine. Bubbles are something we never tire of, no matter how old you get and the Gazillion Bubbles Triple Bubble Blaster is the perfect toy for any age. All you need to do is pour the Gazillion Bubbles solution into the special tray and dip each of the three wands into it. This handheld bubble blower will send tons of bubbles into the air with a tiny squeeze of the trigger!
If your kids want some rough and tumble fun then the Tonka Climb-Overs 4×4 Motorized Vehicles are the bomb! Whether it is the Dirt Dumper, Fire Rescue or Rugged Hauler, your child is only limited by their imagination. With five vehicles to choose from your child can build all sorts of obstacles to put their Tonka to the test. These hardy toys are compatible with any of the Tonka Climb-Overs track systems and playsets as well so there is hours of fun to be had.
Now you remember I mentioned boogers, right? The Booger Balls Ultimate Battle Pack is not something to thumb your nose at. Picking a booger battle is as gross as it sounds with these slime filled Booger Balls. But even before you start flicking these at your friends, children will love being able to mix up their own nasty colours. The Ultimate Battle Pack will create up to 90 Booger Balls in three different hues – Yucky Yellow, Gross Green and Revolting Red. This is one fun activity that will remain outside.
