KOOL TOYS for “KIDS” from 1 to 92 As a lot of parents are wondering whether their children will be going back to school in September. If keeping them home for a while is preferred, we can help you. If you need school books to prepare your kids for the new year or you want to get some for the next grade come in and see what we have or check out our website! We carry all kinds of educational books, science kits / projects and much more to help your child achieve the education they need. August is the month where the weather is still hot, the days are still long and children really want to stay outside and play. Some are really excited at the prospect of heading back to school, some not so much! Either way, let’s try to make their last month of summer memorable for them! We have some really fun things for them to be creative with outside. Do you have an area where they can draw? We have all kinds of shapes and sizes of sidewalk chalk where your child(ren) can create their own art masterpiece, starting with a 4 piece T-Rex effects chalk set for $1.99 right up to our Sweet Shop chalk set that comes with stencils, game ideas and you can make chalk paint! ($35.99 for the kit) Kids of all ages (including adults) love blowing bubbles and having contests to see who can make the biggest! Have you heard of Touchable Bubbles that makes bubbles you can actually touch without them popping? I personally love our Giant Bubble wand that if you move slow

enough you can make a bubble at least 10 feet long! Now that’s fun! Stomp Rockets are another great toy to have, especially if you live near a field where you can shoot the rocket up high and not worry about it landing on your neighbor’s roof. Of course kites will always be an exciting toy to have at the beach, just have your kids run with one and look at the exercise they get! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
