UPDATE!

I found a larger version of the LED Gooseneck clip lamp above on Amazon, so of course, I bought one. The in-line control of the light seems pretty much the same, but it has a bigger, heavier clamp & a wider lamp head, about 3″ in diameter. It was a few $ more, about $20. It won’t be as convenient for travel because it’s bigger and heavier. But it’s also more powerful, which means it’s brighter than the one above. So if you also want to use it as lighting for Skype, Zoom, etc., this might be a better choice that the one above.

First Up Let’s Play In Some Water Right In Our Own Backyard!

It’s not a swimming pool, but something they call a splash play mat. The QPAU Sprinkler Play Mat was under $30 when I bought it on Amazon. Kids loves to play with water, especially during the hot weather, so this an easy way to let them do that. This 68″ Splash Play Mat inflates and sprays water when connected to a garden hose. (No air pump needed.) It’s designed to be placed on lawns so it’s soft underneath for kid’s play. The spray can be adjusted by the water pressure feeding the hose. It’s great for hot weather fun for young kids age 3 to 5 (& up!). MSRP: $29.99, but it is usually selling for less online.

From Beach Vacation Accessories comes Beach Cup Holders For Sand w/Bottle Opener (& Spikes.) A bit of info from the company: Here’s a sand coaster set made with pointed spike stakes that go easily into wet or dry sand. No opener? No problem! Crack open up a cold one with your drink buddies using the built in Bottle Opener, added for your convenience. Keep your stuff protected from the sand and other nasty critters. Easily holds drink cups, bottles, snacks, phones, keys, and other beach supplies. In the video on today’s WNN is my cohost Chad Johnson. He went to his local beach to show us how the Beach Cup Holders with spikes and bottle opener works. These four cups are stackable for compact storage and transportation. Chad also shows how easy it is to the twist to detach or connect the cup to or from the spiked base. MSRP is $16.00 for a set of four cup holders with spikes.

When the company asked me if I wanted to try out their new myFirst Camera Insta 2 12MP Kid’s Instant Print Camera, I said sure, sounds good to me! What’s neat about this camera is it uses thermal printing paper so a black & white print can as little as a penny if you buy the paper in bulk! (It shoots color photos, but it doesn’t print in color.) It also supports microSD cards up to 32GB. As you’ll see on this morning’s show, the photos are not great, but I think kids won’t care and will love this camera. Besides if they (or you) take a great photo, then use the SD card (not included) to print out a reallydecent copy on your own printer. But kids will probably prefer the fun of 10-second printing! You get 3 rolls of thermal paper in the box with the camera insta 2, good for 240 shots. But wait, there’s more! There’s also full HD video recording with sound, dual lens for selfies, and choice of 3, 6, 9 or 12 MP setting. You’ll learn about more features on this week’s show. It comes in pink & teal, which the company calls blue. MSRP is $99.90. There was a $10 off the price of the camera for signing up for their newsletters when I visited the company website but I don’t know how long that will be up there.

The Soundcore Flare 2 is the latest addition to feature 360° Sound with dual drivers and passive radiators combined to provide 20W of sound in all directions. Unlike earlier models, this one has light rings on the base and top to provide beat-driven lighting. (Your choice of six, via the app.) IPX7 Waterproof as you’ll see when I dunk it in water. 12-Hour Playtime on a full charge, depending on tsshe volume. There’s also a built in mic for paired Bluetooth phone use. Battery Capacity: 5200mAh Charge Time approx 3.5 hrs. Best of all is the price, MSRP $69.00 I believe the 1^st Flare was $99.00. There are four versions of the Flare now, but only the Soundcore Flare 2 offers top & bottom lighting.
