So What is Bub’s Toys and Gifts All About?

www.Bubstoys.com

Bub is not a “who,” but a word that evolved from “Bubbadah!” an exclamation often spontaneously spouted when one of our family members is unable to contain his or her excitement.  (Try it out!  It rolls off of your tongue so much nicer than “Bingo,” or “Holy Cow,” or “Oh My Goodness and All the Stars in Heavens to Betsy!”)  Bubbadah is actually a word one of my nephews created when he breathlessly attempted to tell us several things all at once.  Poor fella!  He was about three years old then, and he’s now all grown up.  You know how it is with families – some things you just never live down!

Bub’s Toys and Gifts sprouted from Bubbadah’s Buys, an online store I created several years ago that sold discount family fashions, gifts and toys on eBay and Amazon.  The store did so well and grew so big that it exploded into two separate stores.  In fact, you can still visit Bubbadah’s Buys on eBay and Amazon and find some fabulous deals on designer clothing!

Here at Bub’s Toys and Gifts I have one very stern desideratum that I call the Peter Pan Precept – “Never Grow Up!”  In order to sell toys, one must simply be the child.  And I think you’ll find from our outrageous selection of bouncing monkeys, smashing Hulk hands, grinding RipStiks, fluttering Tinkerbells and even “pharting” elephants, that everyone might be taking this little rule of mine just a bit too seriously!

Not to leave out our discerning gift shoppers who are searching for the perfect present to celebrate a birthday, marriage or new baby.  Our Wedding and Baby Time Capsules and extensive Bearington Bear Collection are just some of the lines we offer that are sure to cajole an extra hug from that special someone!

I hope you sit back, browse and enjoy what our store has to offer.  And if you’re excited by your purchase and/or service from Bub’s Toys and Gifts you are certainly more than welcome to give us a  “Bubbadah!” shout out as often as you like!

Sincerely,

Joann Woods Yoder

Summer Games - Monster's Ball Bonanza

This is a great game for 4 or more kids to play in a swimming pool!  All you need is 3 or more beach balls. (Try to maintain a “3 balls” to “4 kids” ratio for this game. For example: 6 kids = 4 balls, 8 students = 6 balls etc.)

Make sure you have everyone except one child, called "the Monster," go to the same end of the pool. The Monster gets all the beach balls.

The objective is for the kids in the pool to make it to the other end of the pool without getting hit by the balls the Monster is throwing. On “go,” they must swim to the other end of the pool. If they choose to swim underwater, they must surface at least twice. This gives the Monster a fair chance as he/she throws balls at them.

Once the Monster throws all of the balls, he can't get them out of the pool until everyone gets to the other end of the pool. When the Monster hits one of the swimmers with a ball, they must get out of the pool and become a Monster in the next round, and help him/her in the next round. Play until there is only one child left in the pool, and that person is the winner.

Make this game even more exciting by playing at night with Swimways Light Up Beach Ball!
