The other day I explored the idea of getting your children outside this summer to play. The best way to lose those winter pounds brought on by sitting for school, sitting for video games, sitting for TV all while munching away on potato chips is to get out and have fun. Children may not like exercise in the traditional method but they do love to have fun. As I mentioned, every year I make sure I arm my home with outside toys which encourage activity. A child will burn more calories and run around more if he is having fun. I have discovered this through my own children. So, I’m here to highlight a toy that is perfect to encourage running and burning calories; DartZone Dartstorm Gatling Blaster. The toy is recommended for children age 6 and up.
The Dartstorm Gatling Blaster is a huge hit with my 11 year old son who is always up for a good dart gun war. My family enjoys spending the evening running around the house and in and out of the house targeting each other with dart guns. It’s fun and it burns off calories. What makes the Dartstorm Gatling Blaster a favorite this summer for my son is that it is battery operated. Which is highly unfair since no one else has an automatic machine dart gun. All he has to do is pull back the trigger and over twenty darts fly in seconds! The drawback is that it requires 6 AA batteries. To gain this much power batteries are necessary and the only drawback is he has to change his batteries before we all get him.
Let’s not stress the kids out about weight and activity this summer. Let’s get out there with them and play. Playing dart gun wars is fun for the whole family and it burns plenty of calories. My son was growing tired using the same old gun but this new one gave me the motivation needed to run around until he was exhausted. He also has to run after his sister who tries to steal it from him. So let’s burn calories together having fun and with little stress. You will be surprised how easy it will be!
