Take a step outside. Texas summer weather is hot. Soooooo hot. May we suggest taking the family for a swim? May we also suggest taking some Terra Toys with you?

For the beach, we have boats, inflatables, and sand toys, like this 5-piece Princess Beach Set.  It’s a more girly version of the standard, and it includes a shovel, rake, bucket, water can, and castle form. $13, 18 months and up.

For your backyard or neighborhood pool, we have water guns, diving toys, remote control submarines, and cool fishing toys like this one.  Catch of the Day is a battery-operated (water-safe) fish that swims around in the pool until a magnetic lure nears his mouth, at which point he chomps down and flops about wildly until you reel him in.  Far more realistic than the usual little magnetic fishing games (which we also often have in stock), this toy is fun for kids and hilarious for adult fishing enthusiasts. Includes fishing reel, fish, and two magnetic lures.  $25, 3+ years.

And if you just need a place to cool off, we keep the air conditioned to about 74 degrees at Terra Toys.  Spend a few hours playing here on a hot Sunday afternoon
