Nerf - Water Guns since 1969

Since 1969, there’s been one brand that’s really dominated the water gun market - Nerf. Nerf soon became famous for their super soakers - a toy that’s still popular today and one that promises that no child is safe from its water blast! Nerf have gone on to create a comprehensive range of soakers, super soakers, launchers, pistols, and rifles that all come with their own unique selling point. Whether it’s a tank that holds more than one litre of water at a time to minimise refills, separate nozzles for different pressure, or a water stream that reaches to a whopping 30 feet, every water gun has its own ‘thing’.

Water Guns for Younger Children

While water guns are often designed for older children aged from 6 upwards, that doesn’t mean that younger kids need to miss out on all the summer fun. There is a wide range of water-based toys aimed at smaller children that allow them to keep up with their big brothers and sisters. Water splashers, bubble shooters, and bubble wands are all great alternatives for younger children. They often come in very bright and vibrant colours that appeal to the little ones, or are themed with your kids favourite characters, like Minnie or Mickey Mouse.

You can find a huge selection of bubble wands and water splashers for younger children, along with great water guns from brands like Nerf at The Toy Store. Whether you’re looking for an exciting garden toy for the summer that will really get the adrenaline pumping, or an active, on-the-go game that will get your kids up and moving, The Toy Store have everything you need to make sure your children will be excited about being outdoors.
