Star Reviews -- GloWubble

This is a sponsored post. I received a GloWubble and a small compensation.The opinions are all mine. It is my Universe, after all.

Finding ways to get my kids off screens and playing together is huge to me. When I was offered a chance to review GloWubble, therefore, I jumped at the chance. Little did I know that my kids were already familiar and would start screaming when they saw the box. Unfortunately, the camera was not on to capture the moment but I was gobsmacked. Leave it to the kids to know better than mom when it comes to cool new toys!Here comes the box of fun!Inside...The Glowubble kit comes with an air pump that requires 4 "D" batteries. After sending Daddy on a battery run (you have been warned), we got to work. You can check it out here...Inflating the GlowubbleAnd here...Making ProgressThe kids couldn't wait to get the Glowubble outside to see if it actually glowed. Please forgive my terrible night photography skills. I know it's hard to tell but it actually did glow. Sonny-Bunny and Little Diva were pretty eager to get outside so it probably should have been charged longer for the bright blue on the package.

So here's the lowdown:

What I liked: It is an active toy that got my kids up off the couch. It feels a little like a rubbery beach ball, though heavier. The kids enjoyed tossing it back and forth, especially in the dark. How often does mom say, "let's go outside and play" at 8:30?What I liked less: The packaging states that the pup fills the Glowubble in minutes. For us, it took almost an hour. That's not a big deal if you know to plan ahead. I just recommend getting it going before your 8 and 11 year olds start tapping their feet at you.Would I recommend it? Yes. It is fun. Just give yourself time to inflate it and charge the glow. And don't forget the batteries! Afterwards, go outside and have a great time!
