Fun After Dark with Light-up Toys & Balls

posted by Tobey Grumet Segal on May 21, 2015

Don’t hustle the fun off to bed when it gets dark — instead, make the most of balmy summer nights with the newest glow-in-the-dark toys. Let kids (and grownups too, ahem) light up the night with these cool new toys that bring sparkle to the dark.

Nerf Super SoakerNerf Super Soaker and FireVision

Spring has certainly sprung at Hasbro, and we especially like the new Nerf glow products — both the Super Soaker and FireVision varieties. The Super Soaker Zombie Strike Dreadshot and Splatterblast are oversized water cannons with light-up water tanks for nighttime fun. The Dreadshot, the more diminutive of the two, can hold up to 24 ounces of water and comes with two barrels, while the Splatterblast can hold up to 35 ounces with four barrels and shoot up to 30 feet. 

Nerf FireVisions IgniteUntil this season, you needed to don a pair of FireVision glasses to see the glow from any of the FireVision after-dark sports equipment. Happily, starting with the 2015 line of products, all you need are batteries. Try the FireVision Ignite Flying Disk, Football or Nerfoop set.

Price: Nerf Fire Vision Ignite Football $18.57 on Amazon, Nerf Fire Vision Ignite Flying Disc $12.87 on Amazon, Nerf Fire Vision Ignite Nerfoop $15.99 on Amazon, Super Soaker Zombie Strike Dreadshot $14.88 on Amazon and Super Soaker Zombie Strike Splatterblast $19.99 on Amazon
