A few months ago, my teenagers were introduced to Gel Blasters. A neighborhood friend had one, and since then they had both been talking about spending their birthday money on one. Imagine my surprise when they opened the box that Gel Blasters sent me thinking that we would be receiving just one. It was like Christmas morning, as they both started taking pictures and snapchatting all of their friends.
Gel Blaster samples provided.
It didn’t take long for all of the boxes to get opened, and to set up a time for their friends to come over for a friendly battle. Our house is the go-to as we’re in the center of the neighborhood and there’s often a few extra friends hanging around, especially on the weekends.
This time it wasn’t just extra kids over, it was the dads as well. My husband quickly told a couple of his co-workers about them, who then in turn had to go out and buy their own so they could come to our house prepared.
Not familiar with Gel Blasters? Gel Blasters blast water based Gellets. The Gellets are colorful absorbent beads that disintegrate on contact and begin their dehydration process. The tiny gel pellets are soaked in water for 2 hours and balloon into Gellets.
While I have seen the SURGE Gel Blaster at Walmart, I was not familiar with the glow in the dark option. Each of the blaster includes safety glasses, but I prefer the kids to use the face mask for added protection.
