Shopping Essentials: Five backyard toys for kids, and kids at heart
Bocce was first depicted in a 5200 BC Egyptian tomb painting of two boys playing — but this simple game never gets old. Mostly played with stones in its early forms, bocce was popularized in Europe in the 1500s and updated with wooden balls. Modern versions are both stylish and durable — such as this high-quality set from ApudArmis, which includes resin balls, a pallino, a measuring tape and a carrying case.
Similar to lawn bowling, bocce is for all ages and abilities and has a special spot in Canadian hearts as summer’s answer to curling.If you think your best slip-and-slide days are behind you, think again. There’s no age limit when it comes to hurling yourself across a plastic water-soaked mat while bystanders pelt you with water balloons — which is exactly what this product from Bunch O Balloon-makers Zuru is about.
One 16-foot mat, two pegs and 100 self-sealing water balloons are included in the box. Kids will love beating the heat with a good ol’ fashioned water battle. Grown-ups, too, but remember: the taller they are, the further they fall.
