Welcome to the Summer Backyard Blast! Have I got some fun toys to keep you and your kids occupied this summer! I received several toys, including some soon to be released toys from Uncle Milton to try out. I have reviewed several other Uncle Milton products in the past wich you can read up on; Uncle Milton: Fireworks Light Show and the Uncle Milton Expedition Shoe Lights. Uncle Milton offers several toy lines including the new Fireworks Lightshow line and the National Geographic line for your little explorer! The Fireworks Lightshow line will be released in mid-June, so keep an eye out for all the new products.
Uncle Milton Review:
From the Fireworks Lightshow Line:
Light Frenzy Sparkler changes color as you shake it, it lights up red, white and blue. This will be fun to play with at night. My son has been in the bathroom and laundry room in the complete dark shaking this to make it light up, it has definitely has kept him occupied the past few days!
Streaking Light Flyer is a sky flare. Launch this bright red light 50 feet, up in the sky. Then watch as it safely spirals back to Earth. My oldest tested this one out…this will be a big hit for the Fourth, a firework that can be used again and again.
From the National Geographic Line:
All-Terrain Nature Collector – This grabber can pick up those nasty bugs that you just don’t want to pick up, then place them in the snap-on collecting domes to see it up close. The feet on the gripper claws are rubber to make it easier to pick up things without them falling.
3-IN-1 Expedition Magnifier: This comes with real dig tools including a brush and pick. Explore your world or your backyard up close and see things you would never have! My son loves his magnifier. He thinks just so cool to see everything “bigger”
