BUILD YOUR OWN CARS 3 BOARD GAME

Who else is excited that CARS 3 will be racing into movie theaters soon?!  My family is revving to go to see the next chapter in one of our favorite movie franchises.  Can't wait for the green flag to drop and the new adventure to start.  Thanks to our friends at Disney PIXAR we have a fun board game featuring Lightning McQueen and the cast of automobiles from Cars 3 to play with while we're idling for the film's debut weekend.  A Geek Daddy is also happy to be able to share this free build it yourself board game called RACE TO THE FINISH with our fans.

Can you be the first to cross the finish line in this racing themed game?  Pick from four of the Cars characters from the movie and compete to be the first across the finish line.  Roll the dice with the lowest number getting the first turn.  Roll the dice to see how many spaces your character can move during a turn.  Or your roll may show "Draw a Card."  Follow the instructions on the card you pull to see where you go.

Everything you need to build this game is embedded below.  Just download the sheets and print them out.  After a little bit of cutting and taping you'll have an entertaining game to play.  Have a fun family night watching the previous movies and playing RACE TO THE FINISH in anticipation of going to see Cars 3.



Cars 3 promises to be full of action, racing, funny moments and fun adventure scenes.  The movie begins with Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers.  Trying to get back to the front of the pack, McQueen turns to an eager young race technician named Cruz Ramirez (voiced by Cristela Alonzo) for help plus gets some inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet.  Making his way through some unexpected turns #95 shows that he isn't done yet.  Can Lightning McQueen win another Piston Cup and take another cruise through victory lane?  We'll have to see the movie to find out!

Enjoying the Last Day of Summer Having Some Prime Time Water Toys Fun

** A Geek Daddy received the featured products for free to review **

Classes start the day after Labor Day for my kids, so they made the most out of enjoying one last hurrah of water activities playing around outside with some items Prime Time Toys sent us to try out before they had to head back to school.  Since 1990, Prime Time Toys has been producing fun toys and games that can be enjoyed both in and out of the water like the Hydro Swirl Spinning Sprinkler and Hurricane Reusable Water Balls that my kids had a lot of fun with on Labor Day.  It was a sunny, hot day perfect for getting wet in the backyard and these toys really were great at keeping the kids entertained plus cooled off.

The Hydro Swirl Spinning Sprinkler available at Target provides a new twist on running and jumping through a sprinkler.  It's middle section features a hydro powered spinning dome so that water shoots out of its top in a whirling motion up into the sky.  Plus six wiggle tubes on its edge send water spraying all about the sprinkler in various directions.  Rather than having a primary purpose for watering lawns, this sprinkler is designed specifically for kids to splash in on hot days. From our experience using the sprinkler it worked really well at providing my kids with a good soaking and they really had fun using it to cool off.  The sprinkler worked so well that we'll absolutely be storing it over the winter to bring out again to use next summer.  Speaking of storing it, I really liked the tabs on the bottom of the Hydro Swirl Spinning Sprinkler to insert its wiggle tubes in which assist with being able to pack it up without damaging them.

My kids also cooled off tossing Hurricane "REUSABLE" Water Balls at each other.  These provide the fun of playing with water balloons without the hassle of having to tie knots or cleaning up a mess of broken plastic bits.  Place a Hurricane Water Ball in a bucket of water and with a quick squeeze it will fill up and self-seal.  You can toss and throw these reusable balls just like a water balloon.  The best part is you can use them over and over again as they're good for up to 1,000  watery splats.  Kids will have a blast tossing these about.  You can find them at Amazon.com.
