One of my daughter's favorite make-believe games is "space explorer".  She loves pretending that she's an astronaut and we spend many afternoons exploring our home as though it contained undiscovered planets and galaxies far, far away.

I love that my daughter finds a never-ending fascination with space exploration and constantly enlists her stuffed animals to help her explore the unknown.  We've even been known to create bonafide space helmets for them using Saran Wrap and a rubber band.

So naturally, I was elated to learn about the Astronaut Space Pack Super Soaking Water Blaster from Aeromax.  This water gun promises to blast water over 30 feet, yet resembles an astronaut's jet pack.  Keep reading to learn more!

What a blast kids will have when they can shoot aliens (or next-door buddies) with a 30-foot blast of water!  This space pack holds a liter of water and can shoot water in two directions at once, or choose the more traditional single straight-on stream. Strap on the space pack – on top of other space gear or while still wearing pajamas -- and have a blast indoors or out.

Like all Aeromax products, attention to detail is paramount with pretend pressure and instrument panels along with adjustable black straps.  The modestly priced shooter can be played with or without water for priceless galactic role-playing.

Riley absolutely loved the Astronaut Space Pack Super Soaking Water Blaster from Aeromax.  As you can see from the picture above, my little astronaut thought she was too tough with her new intergalactic jet pack and alien gun.  Assembly was a breeze and only required that I connect the included white hose from the jet pack itself to the water gun.

I love how this toy requires no batteries and works solely on kid power (pumping the gun builds up the pressure).  Even though it is designed for children ages 5 years old and up, my 3.5 year old was able to operate it without any trouble.  What's more, with the dual nozzles which shoot in two different directions, she can target both her father and I at the same time and loved chasing us around the backyard trying to get us soaked.

If the weather turns rainy or just too hot to go outside and play, the Astronaut Space Pack makes a terrific accessory to add to our "space exploration" game that we typically play indoors.  Now, Riley will be able to successfully discover and defend any galaxy and star system that comes her way, thanks to her formidable space gun.  If you're looking for a versatile, fun and inexpensive toy to delight your children with this summer, then I think the Aeromax Astronaut Space Pack Water Gun will be a "blast!"
