Hayley who
is 5 was so excited when she saw the Moose box at the door and started to
scream, “Yay Mooseworld stuff! The postman must have loved me today!!” It was
really cute to see her get so excited with a package arriving at the front door
for her and her sister.
Luckily
there was a mixture of things as Madison went away screaming when she saw this
and would not come out until it was put away. “THIS” of course is the

I know in the description it says suitable for boys aged 6 and over but that is not the case here. I have two girls that really have that tom-boy streak that comes out to play here and there, don’t get me wrong 8 times out of 10 they are really girly but there is that off peak time.
I have no
idea why the little tacker is afraid of this or what would have caused her
phobia of slimy things or silly string and even rubber gloves. They actually
scare the living day lights out of her and can even make her gag and vomit! So this
was very much a toy for Hails to play when Madison was not around.
Basically
it is a modern day slingshot that is a lot safer and accurate. It has a little
laser bullseye that points in the direction of where you shoot… But I must say
that didn’t even help my accuracy! I had at least 150 shots before I hit a
little target on the wall. But it did help Miss Hayley as she could see how
much I celebrated when I finally hit the target. I am not even kidding the
little bugger got it on her 3rd shot… Talk about showing off!!
So then
when Daddy saw this he thought the competition was on and his competitive
streak came out to play. The whole time I was attempting to hit the target he
was saying to me, “Bet ya I can do it in the first few shots!!” Of course he
was only trying to get the Zooma off me to have a crack and hog it haha.
I can
proudly say he DID NOT hit the target once and then ended up giving up because
the sports news came on and her certainly CANNOT do two things at once… Which I
don’t think many men can, unless going to the toilet and reading a newspaper
count!
This would
make a great gift for both girls or boys I think and should not be restricted
to just boys. But not only boys it is very suitable for adults too. It is loads
of fun to just sit there shooting away at things and setting yourself goals.
