It may be hard to say, but it sure is fun to play. The question is, though, how do you know when you're in need of a Surefire Slingbow? Well, that's one of the easiest questions in the world to answer. If you have kids of any age to entertain, one (or several) of these things can come in handy.

If you're a babysitter, it can be a good idea to provide fun, imaginative toys for your charges to play with. Of course, that will probably mean they will want you to play with them, or they might shoot you with it. It's the chance you have to take.

If you are a favorite aunt or a grandparent who gets the kids for a weekend a month so the parents can have some time to themselves, then you will definitely benefit by having an itinerary planned. You can bake only so many cookies. After everyone eats those cookies, you know they're going to want to jump around and use up some of that post-snack energy. So letting them shoot each other might be a good idea.

Here's how it works. Load the plastic bow with a foam arrow, pull back the hammer and send the arrow flying. Talk about great fun!

It's a snazzy-looking toy too, in happy, summertime colors - red and yellow. That's a color combination that kids just love because it means all kinds of fun things, like marbles and fun slides and beach balls. In fact, when it comes in the mail (probably the next business day), you will be oh-so-tempted to take it out for a spin before the kids get their hands on it. And why shouldn't you? There's no age limit. Besides, you can get a head start on practice before the little monkeys do.
