Tech toys for summer
By Dan Nessel
How to pass the summer months? How about lounging in a hammock, getting a massage, having a Minion battle and building a hovercraft? Let’s jump into it!
Are You Ready For A Fart Blaster Battle?
The Minions are back! Many grandkids will be excited to see Despicable Me 3 this summer and even more excited to play with the Minion MiP Turbo Dave from WowWee. This self balancing robot can play games, be controlled by gestures or the smartphone app and of course comes with a Fart Blaster. The grandkids will love hearing Turbo Dave talk in Minion language and who doesn’t love a good fart blaster battle?

The Perfect Way to Spend a Summer Day
Summer is all about relaxing and enjoying the grandkids. Now you can relax anywhere with the WindPouch Lite Inflatable Hammock. At only 2.6 pounds and small enough to throw in a backpack, this is the hammock you can take anywhere. No pumps needed to inflate it, simply wave it back and forth a few times to catch some air. It has never been so easy to lounge in comfort.

A Drone, Hovercraft and Car All In One!
Finally, let’s end with something fun and educational for the whole family. The Airblock from Makeblock is a modular and programmable drone that easily transforms into a hovercraft, car or whatever else you can imagine. Magnetic modules make it a snap to create all different configurations and the programming aspect allows the grandkids to learn computer skills, all while having incredible fun!
