Holiday Gift Idea: Koosh Galaxy Solar Recon Ball Launcher


My boys, like most boys, love to play with soft-shooter guns, like Nerf. When Hasbro offered to send us the Koosh Galaxy Solar Recon Ball Launcher, I knew the boys would love to play with it. This is our first Koosh gun, and it has really exceeded my expectations. For one, the balls this gun shoots are much easier to find than Nerf bullets. The glow-in-the-dark feature also adds to their fun because the kids can play in total darkness and it makes finding them all the easier. This gun also has fun sounds, like powering up, and awesome lights, so it just multiplies the fun for them both.

This came with four balls, which is great to start off with, but they are already asking for extras. I loved that the gun was both well-made and designed to fit even Quinn’s small hands, an added bonus for this type of thing since he often has trouble handling larger guns. Both my kids love this gun (as does my husband, for the record) and I am happy that it will last a long time.
