As we head into the weekend, I know my son will be delving into his video games. He so does every weekend because we limit his play during the week while it’s the school year. But rather than stay in all day in front of the telly or some kind of piece of technology, I really want to coax him outside more. Last weekend, I was able to do so with these fantastic LARP Long Swords by Epic Toys.
Mei-Lin looking menacing…
But Dominic just wants to have fun!
If you are unfamiliar with LARP, it stands for “Live Action Role Play”. Most people who utilize these types of “toys” do so interactively, where they physically enact their characters. Players usually wear costumes, and they participate in a setting that is also dressed to resemble the fictional (or possibly real) location. In these cases, the appropriate equipment would be beneficial to complete the scenario, like these Long Swords.
The kids didn’t actually role play, but they loved the swords because they are made of foam, so no one was injured during the epic battle that followed. Not to be left out of the fun, my sister and brother-in-law (Rholnna & Jeremy) then grabbed the swords themselves and hilarity ensued. What happens next? I guess we’ll see this weekend, cheers!
