This week, I wanted to keep with the theme of "Awesome Outdoor Toys" because (for the most part) we have been having FANTASTIC weather, and who doesn't want an really cool toy to play with outside on a beautiful day?!

SO, the Cool Toy Pick of the Week this week is the Djubi (pronounced joo-bee)! We found the Djubi ($29.95, ages 8 & up) at the New York Toy Fair this year and LOVED it because it is totally unique in nature (think of it as a combination of lacrosse and a fling toy)! What it is, is a system of 2 oblong racquets with a hook on the top and 2 foam balls with elastic loops.

To use, one player hooks the elastic loop on the hook on the racquet, pulls back and lets go to FLING the ball! The other player has to try and catch this fast ball with their racquet (lined with a very durable mesh) which isn't as easy as it may sound. When flung, the Djubi Ball can EASILY fly over 100 feet (so you MIGHT need a little bit of room to play with it). Then it is that players turn to FLING the ball.

I know what you're thinking...so don't worry, if you've flung both of the balls into infinity and beyond, we also have replacement Djubi Balls ($6.95 for a 3 Pack)!

The great thing about Djubi is that the racquet is made out of a very durable plastic and has an easy-grip handle so that you can get the best possible FLING from your racquet. Also, the Djubi balls are a nice soft foam which means Djubi is also an AWESOME WATER TOY!

Djubi is so much fun to play with, and is perfect for the summer time because it is so versatile! Whether you're at the beach, at the cottage, in the pool or even in your own backyard, you can play with it anywhere! PLUS you can play with as many people as you'd like!

Djubi is a MUST for Summer 2010!
