Good old-fashion family fun, with a modern approach. Captain Smiley Toys is 100% Made in the U.S.A Company. Our big winner Paddle Effex is now being used in a brand new sport called Paddle Battle which you have to see to believe. See www.paddlebattle.org for more information about Paddle Battle.

Paddle Effex
Paddle Effex Half Paddles
“Paddle Effex” is a paddle designed to play with any footbag (hacky sack). It takes the sport to a whole new level of play. The object to using the paddle is to toss the sack from one side of the paddle to the other, catching it, gently (absorb the sack), and then continuing this motion back and forth. The basics are pretty easy; it usually takes about 10-15 minutes to get the hang of it. As you get better you get faster. Then you can try stuff that’s a little trickier. Like passing the sack under your leg, behind your back, throw in a few kicks and stalls, etc…all the while trying to keep the sack moving freely from one paddle end to the other. If you have 2 or more paddles you and a friend can get a good passing game going on.

“Paddle Effex” comes packaged with 1 paddle, sack, and instructions


 
Just like the full size Paddle Effex paddles, these paddles are hand crafted wooden paddles designed to juggle hacky sacks or soft form balls (i.e. Squirrelly Birds) consult www.captainsmileytoys for more information on Squirrelly Birds. Each Paddle Effex Half Paddle is ½ the size of the full one (approx 22 ½). These paddles will prove to be a bit of a different challenge than the full paddle, but they are just as much fun with a wide range of tricks that are possible. These paddles will probably be better for a younger beginner. The back and forth is easier to control, because you have a paddle in each hand, rather than the twisting motion you use with the full paddle which can be cumbersome to a child under the age of 7-8. Paddle Effex Half Paddles are the official goalie paddles of Paddle Battle. Consult www.paddlebattle.org for more information about Paddle Battle.

Paddle Effex Half Paddles come packaged with 2 paddles, sack, and instructions.


Ring Thing
Mystical Dragon
The “Ring Thing” is a new take on using juggling sticks. By replacing the center stick with hoop, the object of the game is to rotate the ring around the end of the stick, then passing it to the other stick while trying to keep the ring constantly spinning. The basics are easy, but it can become quite challenging as you try to add tricks to your routine. Add a friend or friends and you can pass the ring around to each other.

The “Ring Thing” comes packaged with 1 hoop, 2 hand sticks, and instructions


 
Mystical Dragon is a unique flying puppet. Guided by an invisible leash, using simple arm movements you make Mystical dragon dive and swoop through the air. Mystical Dragon requires no wind so you can fly it indoors and out; great for kite enthusiasts, puppeteers, and everyone who loves pure and simple entertainment.

1 Mystical Dragon comes fully assembled with instructions. It can be painted, colored, or decorated with any option of you choosing.
