Toys For Summer Fun

Summer days are nearly over, but you want to squeeze every last bit of fun out of the days you have left.  Check out these fun additions to anyone’s toy chest before the cool fall weather hits- and then keep right on using them.

One of the toy “fads” we have noticed this year has been “gross” toys- things that poop, blow snot, pass gas- you name it.  If your children are as into this as most seem to be, you will want to take a look at these two toys.  First is Poo Dough, which is just what it sounds like.  You and your children (and don’t even pretend that dad isn’t going to get in on this, perhaps even take it to work on Monday to bother his coworkers with) will have way too much fum molding poop-shaped creations with this kit. It’s completely disgusting- in a really fun way.  It gets worse- it comes in two shades of brown, and (drumroll, please) molds for corn and peanuts to be added.  Oh, and yellow dough as well. Yep, you are all set for hours of gross-out fun.  And really, everyone will have way too much enjoyment of of this- I’ve never in my life met a child or a man of any age that can resist a little bathroom humor.  Best just roll with it.  Available for about $8 in stores like Toys R Us, Amazon, and Walmart.

If you are still in the mood to be rude, try out the Fart Piano.  Again, the name pretty much says it all.  Each key on the gassy piano plays a different “note” or sound effect.  Not only can it pass gas- oh no- but it can also cough, belch, and sneeze in over 10 ways.  Between my 6 year old son and my husband, I thought one of them was going to pass out laughing while they played with it.  They brought it out for every single guest that came over for quite some time as well(yes, I was so proud).  It also comes with music sheets for your musical enjoyment.  Available for about $20 on Amazon and Toys R Us.
