Tucker Toys Transforms Outdoor Play

HAMILTON, N.J., Feb. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tucker Toys transforms play again with several new products arriving in stores this Spring.

Tucker put an "E-Z" twist on the traditional two-player paddle game; will "launch" a kite flying system; and "tuned-in" for a Bluetooth enabled flying disc.

Mark Nathan, CEO and President of Tucker Toys, said, "Tucker Toy is always pushing the limits on new and innovative product that will increase activity and outdoor fun. Our new products continue to change the dynamic of traditional play."

Some of the new Tucker Toys products that are debuting at the International Toy Fair in New York City (Javits Center booth #143) are:

Kite-A-Pult (MSRP $19.99 for ages 10+) makes flying a kite a breeze. Tucker's new self-launching kite flying system allows kids to launch their kite into the air and enjoy the fun of flying their kite right away, without the help of others The portable Kite-A-Pult hand-launcher makes it easy to pull back then rocket the kite into the air to catch the wind. Not only is the Kite-A-Pult the most innovative and exciting kite out there, but it also doubles as a Glider! Its two toys in one and comes in three super colorful designs.

Disc Jock-e (MSRP $24.99) is a flying disc with Bluetooth technology. A game of catch never sounded so good when the Disc Jock-e soars through the airwaves. Great for all ages as a durable, water-resistant throwing disc, the Disc Jock-e syncs with any playlist from a phone, tablet or computer. It comes in a choice of vibrant blue or orange colors, so that even if you're just relaxing, you'll never miss a beat with the coolest outdoor speaker ever! 

Slam 'n Bounce (MSRP $14.99 for ages 5+) just grab a paddle and hit the ball back and forth with a friend. The sturdy light-weight paddles are easy to handle and the E-Z Grip ball lets you bounce the ball on almost any surface! Tucker Toys changed the game dynamic from keeping the ball in the air, to allow players to use on sand, grass and pavement as expanded playing surfaces. It's 'E-Z' to get active with the Slam 'n Bounce and all of Tucker's E-Z Grip™ balls, that already include the multi-award winning E-Z Grip Play Ball, E-Z Grip Jr., E-Z Grip Soccer Ball and E-Z Grip Football.
