Splash Disc and DartZone Quickfire Just in Time for Summer Fun (Review)
Kids in backyards throughout the country have soaked each other with the Original Splash Bombs, the vibrant colored spongy balls that when drenched made extra big splashes. Prime Time Toys, makers of the Original Splash Bombs, has launched two new fun summer toys: Splash Disc and DartZone Quickfire 12.
Splash Disc
Ages 4+, SRP $9.99
The Splash Disc, shaped like a soft flexible Frisbee, is lightweight and featured easy foam grips. Similar to the Original Splash Bombs, kids soaked it, flung it, and splashed it. Given its aerodynamic shape, the Splash Disc flew pretty far. When all 12” of it hit the water, it made a significant splash which the kids loved.
One great aspect of the Splash Disc is that its play life doesn’t cease when summer ends. When dry, kids can play with the Splash Disc indoors, and parents need not worry about it damaging walls due to its soft material.
DartZone Quickfire 12
Ages 6+, SRP $24.99
Boys and girls alike loved the DartZone Quickfire 12. The bright-colored dart shooter featured a revolving barrel of 12 foam darts that when loaded, rapid fired six darts in just a few seconds. When the first barrel emptied, kids reloaded with the extra barrel included. Younger children initially required help to insert the barrel, but with practice they got the hang of it. To parents’ relief, the kids didn’t complain about any “ouchies” when hit with the soft foam darts.
Parents’ won’t have to shell out money for batteries as the DartZone Quickfire 12 requires none. Like the Splash Disc, kids can use this rapid fire shooter indoors on rainy days or in the winter given the softness of the foam darts.
Recommendation: Both the Splash Disc and DartZone Quickfire12 are kid and parent-friendly. Kids loved interacting with the toys and parents were happy the items were safe for kids and when played within the house. As such, I recommend these two toys for fun summer enjoyment.

The water gun looks like fun… especially when it’s 80+ degrees outside!
