Two Fun Gadgets From Toy Fair 2020!
Meet the Big Mouth Humongous Sprinklers! The one in the photo is the over-9-feet-tall Ginormous Giraffe Yard Sprinkler. Even the description the company supplies is clever: It takes backyard entertainment to the “necks” level. Sure, the kids could run through the rusty ol’ sprinkler, but if you want cool points with the fam you’ve got to THINK BIGGER! Take your summer game to the next level the Ginormous 9-foot tall Giraffe Yard Sprinkler, or one of the companies other ginormous animals. They’re the missing piece to that epic birthday, pool party, BBQ, or family reunion you’ve been planning (or dreading). Simple to use, too. Just inflate it, and connect a standard garden hose. Turn on the water and voila!…water sprays out of the giraffe’s mouth for a truly over-the-top experience. The inflatable design means that it’s lightweight, easy to move, and deflates for compact storage in the off-season. It comes with an anchor kit and uses a handy two-port valve with a one-way check that makes inflation a breeze. Prices range from about $40 to $60. Available in Spring 2020.

Let’s have a hand for The Mega Cyborg Hand.
I saw this kit at Toy Fair 2020 and thought it would great for kids to learn about hydraulics. After they build their own BIG hydraulic hand, they slip their own hand into it like a glove, and operate the mechanical fingers with their own fingers. I tried it and it’s great fun. Assemble it using over 200 plastic pieces, fill the piston tubes with water, and adjust it to fit your own hand. The hydraulic pistons enable the fingers to open and close, and to grip objects with enough force to lift them. The hand is adjustable to fit virtually all hand sizes and you can switch the thumb from right hand to left hand. Ages: 8+ MSRP: $39.95 From THAMES & KOSMOS. Coming Summer 2020.

Does your bowl have Gyro technology?
Well, the Ztl Baby Gyro Bowl 360 Degree Rotation Spill Resistant Gyroscopic Bowl with Lid Toy Tableware for Kids Toddlers does have it!
Here’s what Ztl says about it: Universal Gyro Bowl, great for babies and kids to have fun while they eat but without the mess. Made of premium quality food grade PP material, safe for your kids to use. Adjusts to the normal positing if the the baby twists, tilts or turns the bowl, easy to train the baby to eat without help. Anti-Spill design, the inner bowl with gyroscopic motion can rotate 360 degrees to keep dry food inside and avoid food spilling; Easy to Clean and Dishwasher Safe.
From the Giz Wiz: Online I read ‘the bowl might fall apart when you receive it, but please don’t worry, our gyro bowl can be reassembled in seconds’ I wondered if that was true. As you’ll see in the video I dropped it and it did fall apart. I put it back together again, but not in seconds. You’ll also see how I was totally impressed with this device for about the first 2 minutes! Then — well watch the video! It was just $1 on Wish, but $4 shipping & 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. I bought mine on Amazon for a bit more than that, but got it in 2 days.
