Andy and the bubbles

We were provided with four of the WOWmazingTM Giant Bubble Wands Kits for free to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

While on the Cape today I brought out the WOWmazingTM Giant Bubble Wands Kits for the kids to play with. Dad had an empty joint compound bucket which we used to mix up the WOWmazing giant bubble concentrate. This bucket was large enough that each of the kids could use it to dip in their two handed wands. We had all the kids playing with this so from ages 5 to 12. They all got the concept pretty quickly and were making giant bubbles in the back yard. I was going to try this at the beach but it was way too windy. So, everyone played in the back yard. I even took out my drone to shoot some video from above.

The WOWmazingTM Giant Bubble Wands Kit sells for $14.95 and you can pick it up on Amazon.com. The kit comes with the two handed wand and two packages of the WOWmazing giant bubble concentrate. You add that concentrate to 8 ounces of water and can make many giant bubbles. The wands work best if you gently dip them into the concentrate and you do not swirl them around and create small bubbles. Of course, with 4 kids all trying to use their wands at the same time the solution got frothy quick but they were still able to make a bunch of bubbles.

I found that gentle steady movement worked well to get large bubbles. A slight breeze would also work. Below are a couple of video clips I made and posted to Instagram showing the kids playing with the bubbles. If you are so inclinced to purchase these and enjoy giant bubbles this Summer please consider using our Amazon.com affiliate link below.

Unboxing the New The Last Kids on Earth Toys from Jakks Pacific

Andy Playing with The Last Kids on Earth Toys

Back on April 17th Jakks Pacific sent me a HUGE box of The Last Kids on Earth toys for free. I could play with them and review them as I wished. Opinions are my own and these are fun toys. I know that they are fun toys because I got a kick out of them, Andy played for hours with them and continues to do so and the toys are very show accurate. It makes a big difference when care is taken to make the figures look like they do in the show. I do wish, however that there were larger figures of the kids. More like 3.5 inch Action Figures or larger. The size they are is great for imaginative play and use with the monsters and the playset. I guess if you want to have the right scale then if you make the kids bigger the monsters would be huge.

The monsters have great detail and action areas. Each one has a weak spot so that they can be knocked over with a disk shooter. The different disk shooters are a hoot. They also take into consideration the show. Each disk has a feat of apocalyptic success on one side and a makeshift weapon on the other. I do want to make it known that the kids do not go around killing zombies. The mess with them but do not kill them because they used to be people. The kids either avoid the zombies or steal their hats and stuff. They did capture one and use it as bait in the second season. I have a full review of the toys in the video below.

Once I had completed the review Andy wanted to play with the toys. He especially loves the Louisville Slicer, Jack’s major weapon. With it he helped to fell Blargh, the big bad of the first book and first season of the show. The Louisville slicer is cool because as you play with it you get to battle more and more monsters. Andy loves that. He got pretty far.

The Last Kids on Earth Toys

In all these are some pretty terrific toys, lots of fun and they go along great with the series on Netflix plus the book series by Max Brallier.
