How Do You Roll?

I know how my 4 and 5 year old grandsons will roll, with what I predict will be one of the top toy picks of the holiday shopping season, Hot Wheels Ballistiks! Here is what I like about them, they don’t require batteries (low tech in my book is a plus), and they have 3 things that I know appeal to boys: they launch (like Bey Blades), break out of a ball shape (like Bakugan), and turn into cars (instead those Bakugan thingies)! The upside for cleanup time is that the shooter itself has storage space for 6 Ballistiks (in case you don’t want to collect all 24). The shooter comes with one Ballistik ball/car and is priced at $17.99 at Target. The additional ball/cars (including a Batman Ballistik) cost $6.99 each. And there is the nostalgia factor for me with Hot Wheels, I remember my twin brother’s collection rivaled my Barbie collection; he loved his Hot Wheels so. I remember buying Hot Wheels for my own boys for good behavior, stocking stuffers, and miles of fun. I also remember stepping on quite a few and one that didn't flush but that’s for a different blog all together. I’m not letting the holidays sneak up on me this year. That’s just how I roll!
