ow to pass the summer months? How
about lounging in a hammock, getting
a massage, having a Minion battle and
building a hovercraft? Let's jump into it!

Are you ready for a fart blaster battle?
The Minions are back! Many grandkids will be
excited to see Despicable Me 3 this summer and
even more excited to play with the Minion MiP
Turbo Dave from WowWee. This self balancing
robot can play games, be controlled by gestures or
the smartphone app and of course comes with a
Fart Blaster. The grandkids will love hearing Turbo
Dave talk in Minion language and who doesn't love
a good fart blaster battle?

The perfect way to spend a summer day

Summer is all about relaxing and enjoying the grandkids. Now
you can relax anywhere with the WindPouch Lite Inflatable
Hammock. At only 2.6 pounds and small enough to throw in
a backpack, this is the hammock you can take anywhere. No
pumps needed to inflate it, simply wave it back and forth a few
times to catch some air. It has never been so easy to lounge in
comfort.

A drone, hovercraft and car all in one!

Finally, let's end with something fun and educational for the whole
family. The Airblock from Makeblock is a modular and programmable
drone that easily transforms into a hovercraft, car or whatever else you
can imagine. Magnetic modules make it a snap to create all different
configurations and the programming
aspect allows the grandkids to learn
computer skills, all while having
incredible fun!
