Sale - Active Toys

This month, all of our Active Toys, at Town Square Toys, are on sale for 15% off!  That's right, 15%!  And we have tons of active toys to choose from.  When I say “tons,” I mean literally tons.  There are so many toys to choose from.  But, don’t let that dissuade you from coming by and checking them out.  You can come by our Mansfield store or visit us online.

I am really amazed by the variety and scope of Active Toys that we carry at Town Square Toys.  Most people think of Active Toys as just sports type toys, things such as bats and balls, footballs, Frisbees, and the like.  But Active Toys involves so many more toys and types of toys.  We have toys that encourage kids to explore the outside world around them while they are playing in it.

We have a whole spectrum of gardening toys, rakes and broom, shovels and trowels.  We have butterfly nets and bug collecting toys.  We have all sorts of bubble makers.  We have those classic balsa wood airplanes that you build yourself and then discover the mystery of flight with.  We have jump ropes and stilts, water toys and sand buckets, hopscotch pads and water balloon pumping stations.  The list goes on and on.

Our goal with Active Toys is for kids to play; to turn off the TV and the computer and use their brains and bodies for fun.  Figure out how to shoot that target with a marshmallow shooter.  Help mom or dad in the garden.  Play catch with your brother or sister.  Get some fresh air during this beautiful Spring weather.  Hopefully our Active Toys will encourage your kids to do the same.

PlasmaCars are Fun for All Ages!

When I first saw the PlasmaCars, I didn't know quite what to think. I liked their bright colors and the interesting, curious shape. The scientist part of me wanted to understand the physics behind their movement. The kid in me wanted to start riding one right away. But, I was patient and let my kids go first. Which brings up an interesting point: both kids and adults can ride these things. They are a lot of fun to ride.

You will want to be careful if you or your kids decide to ride one. They work great on any hard surface, but I would not ride on hardwood floors or linoleum; the turning back and forth could scrape up the flooring. When you are just casually riding, the gentle, back and forth motion would be fine. When you get the urge to race, though, that is when the scraping may occur. Sidewalks and driveways are perfect. You will be amazed at how proficient you will become in no time, swinging and steering around obstacles.

I also want to let you know that these are incredibly durable toys. Our kids have been racing and crashing their PlasmaCars for years now, literally. Other than some superficial scrapes, they are still in fine working condition. I just rode one the other day. Go on over to Town Square Toys and check one out today!
