Wall Climbing Laser Guided Racing Car

Wall Climbing Laser Racing Car


This Christmas give your kids a great fun gift, the Wall Climbing Laser Guided Racing Car by AirHogs. The adults will love this toy just a much as the little ones. 

This racing car can do what other toys of this kind can't. It can climb the walls!

How does it do you may ask? It uses the laser to control the car and defy gravity. What fun!

This laser allows the car to go in any direction at high speeds. All you have to do is to place the car wherever you want it and then point the laser beam in front of it. 

The laser beam directs it in the direct you point the beam. The Wall Climber technology means walls no long get in the way.

This is what gives the vehicle a bit of suction power to enable it to hold on. It's also what makes it easy for the car to be able to handle smooth driving surfaces. 


If you have paneled wall or uneven surfaces, you might have a little more difficulty operating the car on them. 

The car comes with a controller to guide the car and all you have to do is point and hit the trigger. Super easy to operate. It isn't a real laser but an LED light so nothing to worry about there.

Another feature is you don't need any experience with remote controlled vehicles because this one is super easy to play with. 

As long as they're within 6 feet of the car, they can move it anywhere they want it to go. Decorations on the wall such as picture frames, no problem, the car can easily navigate around these as directed.  

The vehicle is light enough to not make anything fall off the wall. 

You will need batteries to be able to operate this toy. The car is USB rechargeable, but the controller uses three of the AAA batteries. 

The car is only intended for indoor use so cannot be used outdoors.  

Inside the box is the vehicle, the controller, the charger and instructions. 

You'll certainly be popular if this is under the tree this year!

Exploding Kittens Card Game Pros and Cons

Exploding Kittens Card Game Pros and Cons
Do you think you would like to play a card game about kittens exploding with your kids? Yes, well…maybe, well how about goats? Read on to see if you would.

This is an extremely popular card game and has over 12,000 reviews on Amazon with around 75% five star ratings. Popular probably understates this game’s attraction.

Exploding Kittens is a card game with a pack of 56 card which players draw until someone pulls up the Exploding Kitten. The card then ‘explodes’ and the player is out of the game!

As with similar card games like UNO there are ways to ‘defuse’ your situation by collecting defuse cards to save you.

Players enlist the help of these cards in the form of laser pointers, catnip sandwiches or belly rub cards to distract the kitten card. Just like you would do with your real life kitty!

Celestron AstroMaster Refractor Telescope Review
The Celestron 21061 AstroMaster 70 AZ Refractor Telescope is shown to be a perfect gift for not only kids, but adults as well.

It boasts being able to see not only the moon, but even the rings of Saturn!

If you are considering buying a telescope this year, find out if this Refractor Telescope is the right choice for you.


Should You Buy the Celestron 21061 AstroMaster 70 AZ Refractor Telescope?

 

To start out with the bad: 


The telescope is not as powerful as the commercials lead you to believe.

It's a great product for taking a look at the moon or close by stars, but not to see the moons of Jupiter as promised.

Most buyers compared the lens power to that of a pair of binoculars.

A few people even went as far as to said that they could see more detail of the moon with their binoculars than the actual telescope!

Ninjago Destiny's Bounty by LEGO Review

Another product in Lego's Ninjago range, Destiny's Bounty is one of the larger kits available.

This sailing/ flying ship looks exciting and includes quite a large number of special pieces. Fans of Lego Ninjago won't need persuading about this one, but for others it's useful to have a bit more information before deciding whether to buy or not.
Ninjago Destiny's Bounty by LEGO Review

Is The Ninjago Destiny's Bounty Worth Buying?


The first thing to mention about the Ninjago Destiny's Bounty Lego kit is that it'll entertain both fans of ninjas and pirates.

The ship is far-Eastern in style, but includes cannons and has several sails. The Ninjago range is popular with many kids, but even if your child isn't a particular fan, they'll probably find lots to enjoy here.

As well as having a great ninja/ pirate theme, this ship is sturdy when built. That's important, as a fragile Lego model isn't as fun to play with.

If it falls apart too quickly or easily once built then play sessions won't last as long and kids will get bored more quickly.

By withstanding most light knocks your kids can keep on playing with this toy without too much interruption.

It'll only come apart when they actually want it to!
