Has there ever been a
time in your life when you felt as if you’ve had been cheated out of something
special?
Why couldn't these cool toys and crafts been available when I was a kid? Aargh!
Talk about fun! And there’s so much to do! Crafts, science, architecture, art and pretend guns! It’s a regular cornucopia of fun!
When I was a young kid (believe it or not we had toy guns-not just rocks and spears!) my friends and I loved to play soldiers and cowboys and Indians.
We’d break out our trusty baseball bats, sticks or our plastic six-shooters and have at it. There was no ammo of course, only our imaginations.
Buzz Bee Toys Air Warriors Ultra-Tex brings all the excitement of target practice and play combat to a whole new level with its cool assortment of dart blasters that include suction darts and ammo clips.
The Reaper is an eight shot, clip fed, dart blaster that can be held in one hand.
Simply load your darts into its clip, pull back the slid, load the clip, and push the slid forward and viola! you’ve got a ready to shoot, long distant suction dart shooter that is fast, easy to load and rugged enough to hold up to the roughest of play.
Like the other Ultra-Tex Air Warriors soft dart shooters it is made of high-impact plastic in bright, easy to spot colors and designed specifically for young children’s hands.
For some serious high-level, long distance darts and motorized revolving barrel fun check out the Cyclonic.
Load your darts, pop in the clip, pull the trigger and watch the motorized spinning barrel light up as it spins and shoots darts (single or in masse, depending how far you pull the trigger) and you’re ready for action!
Its long, 20 suction dart clip makes for long-lasting play battle and reloading is a snap!
Be sure to check out the 45 Suction Darts Refill Pack so you never run out of long distance darts.
Kids love to build-I know, I did. Give me some threads bobs, bottle caps and other assorted bric-a-brac and I’d have a futuristic city built in a flash.

When I was ten years old my brother and his wife gave me a microscope for Christmas. It was one of my most cherished possessions. I had it for years until it literally wore out. I’d spend hours peering into its lens scope, fascinated by the items I had placed on the slides.

I’m an artist. I’ve made my living drawing pictures, designing things and teaching art.
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved art, drawing, painting and designing.
For 25 years I worked as a graphic designer and then taught high school drawing and Commercial Art. Art is in my blood.
As an adult I’m very picky about what art supplies I use. Art supplies can get expensive, especially if you’re a young artist.
Alex brands understands and has provided a high quality and fun solution-its art kits.
