If the grandkids already have a shelf full of toy cars, you might think one more wouldn’t make much of an impression. This one will change your mind the moment the lights go down.
Each Whipz micro racer glows in the dark and flashes with color-changing LEDs as it zips along at either of two speeds. Put one down on the kitchen floor and off it goes; drop it into its clear stunt ball and it loops round and round, flipping a full 360 degrees. The little keychain clip gives you another way to play: hook a car onto it and spin it for tricks.
Charging is simple: plug each car into its USB charger for about 20 minutes and it plays for 15 to 18 minutes, just enough time for a race and a rematch. With two cars, two stunt balls, two clips, and two chargers, nobody has to wait for a turn. They’re recommended for ages 6 and up, and they slip easily into a jacket pocket for the next visit.
