The Race Is On

Vilac Balloon-Powered Boat

As an involved mom, you probably know all about the spirit of competition. And while you may wish there was less of that going around amongst the grown-ups, there’s no denying that little Lucy is going to have to kick some serious academic and extracurricular butt if she hopes to get into Brand Name U.

So how do you foster the competitive drive without resorting to video games? How about with Vilac Balloon-Powered Boat races? These French-made wooden boats combine the wow factor of Transformers with all the retro charm you’d expect from Vilac, a company that’s been been turning out toys since 1911.

Best of all, the boats are priced so you can buy enough to stage mini-regattas – teaching your kids the value of friendly rivalry while grooming them for a glorious future as the regatta champions of their respective yacht clubs. Try getting that from a video game!
