Zyclone

Recently I was offered to try out a Zyclone — one of the newest products by Zing Toys, a toy manufacturer based outside of Portland, Oregon that specializes in active-play toys.

Basically, it’s a ring blaster that shoots a foam ring that glides in a straight line for over 100 feet.  Here is a link to video on the Zyclone so you can see how it works.

When we got ours in the mail, my kids were instantly enthralled.  The girls immediately took it outside and started fighting over it — the sure sign of the success of a toy.  When I got them sorted out, they had a blast taking turns shooting the foam ring and trying to see who could get it to go the farthest.  My 10-year-old son played with it a few times and then declared it boring, so I would suggest this toy for kids ages 8 or younger.

I love to hear about toy companies that are dedicated to creating toys that encourage children to be active, and this toy definitely qualifies.  The Zyclone can be purchased at Amazon.com for $29.99 and qualifies for FREE Super Saver Shipping.
