One of the questions we get asked the most as we head into the summer is “what can I do now that school is out and the kids are home?” For many, it’s too nice to sit inside and work on a model kit, but many simply don’t know where to turn. Summer has always been a fun time at MegaHobby.com, since we get to pull out some of our favorite toys and hobbies for just a few months, before the weather turns cold and we send our kids back to school. So how do we get our kids off of their phones, Xboxes, Playstations and more? Take a look at some of these products:

Toysmith Outdoor Water Toys

Toysmith is at the forefront of the toy industry, offering dozens of items great for outdoor use. Some of the product lines they offer are Aqua Battle and Aquazone, both filled with water toys used in the backyard, the pool, the beach, or elsewhere. Toysmith also offers water blasters, rubber band powered paddleboats, and more!

Wham-O!

Wham-O is one of the most well-known names in the outdoor industry. With six different Frisbees and even a footbag (AKA hacky sack), Wham-O products give us some great, inexpensive toys to go outside and spend some quality time with friends and family.

Gayla Kites

Gayla not only offers dozens of kites to fly, but also a line of rubber band or trigger powered gliders. With their low prices, Gayla’s products give us an opportunity to stock up on some great items for a day at the shore or even just hanging out on the back porch.

Model Rocketry

Our personal favorite part of summer at MegaHobby.com is that time when we get to pull out our favorite Estes rockets, walk to the nearby baseball field and launch them as high as we can. This activity is a classic; millions of people across the USA each year customize rockets and launch them high into the air. Take a look at our offering of Estes rocket kits, from beginner to advanced, along with all of the corresponding accessories. And don’t forget your engines – the bigger they are the higher it goes!
