Flingshot Monkeys
Ready, aim, howl! Howler monkeys are the loudest animals on earth, except for blue whales. This masked, cloaked monkey is not, technically, a howler monkey, but it is probably the loudest toy monkey on earth.

Slip your fingertips into its little mitts, pull back like a slingshot, let fly, and join in the laughter when the furry projectile screeches through the air. So much fun we offer a set of three (pictured) with black capes.

For ages 5 and up.

Hold On To Your Bananas!

Comments about Flingshot Monkeys:

For Christmas Santa brought all six of the kids in our family Flingshot Monkeys. Once the kids got the hang of it you felt like you were in the monkey gym at the zoo! One flew this way, another that way, then two came out from no where!! Where were they all coming from? They had so much fun playing with these monkeys. Every time the monkeys got going you could hear six kids giggling wildly. They could have cared less that there was a room full of gifts just through the other door. The only con (from a parent's perspective) is that the monkey sounds do tend to get on the nerves after a little bit. But the kids were "ape" for them!!

I bought a bunch of these monkeys for grandkid stocking stuffers. They are quite inexpensive for the fun factor they provide. The ages were from 5 to 10. The adults took them over!!

sling shot monkeys

By John the uncle

Pros

  • Make monkey noises
  • Sling shots far

Cons

  • Difficult for the tiny
  • Not cuddlie

Best Uses

  • Amusement for the tiny

Comments about Flingshot Monkeys:

Bought this for our 2 year old niece and she loved them, but couldn't do it herself. She loved to watch them fly and ran after them squealing. It would be nice if they were more cuddlie and easier to sling for tiny hands. But overall it was great fun for everyone involved....

    Comments about Flingshot Monkeys:

    Older kids love it, try to see who can shoot theirs the furthest. Loved it playing with cats, they chase it even try to catch it in the air.
    Mask comes off easily -- so best to remove it before playing.

              It makes fun noise, launches pretty far and looks cool. A little hard for small children to launch by themselves.

              Pros

              • Enjoyable to watch
              • GREAT scream
              • Not at all boring
              • Simple to use

              Cons

              • Need lots of room

              Best Uses

              • Monkey "Olympics"
              • Target practice

              Comments about Flingshot Monkeys:

              Let the monkey do your screaming, increase hand-eye coordination by aiming for targets, have a small, furry and amusing companion that is easy to carry.

              Little kids may have trouble getting fingers into right places to make monkey fly.

              I gave these to my three grand-nephews (twin 5-year-olds and a 7 year-old). They couldn't get the hang of it at first but once they did, they LOVED them. So be patient.

              I set these monkeys on the top of each Christmas stocking & they were the first item "opened" Christmas morning. They brought laughter & fun as we had 3 of them flying every which way across the room & didn't go for another present for quite a while! Great gift!

                Family get together had races with the monkeys. Who went the longest and highest. lots of grandchildren and they all enjoyed them. They didn't fall apart after pretty rough handling. They were a little difficult to use for the 5 year old but they just held the hands and pulled the tail and off the monkey went.

                Comments about Flingshot Monkeys:

                My son purchased these for himself and his 2 best friends. They love flying them about the house, competing to see who can get their monkey to fly higher or farther. I don't think I realized they make a screeching monkey noise when they hit something--which I find annoying--but the noise causes my son to laugh out loud almost every time so it must be a good thing!

                The monkeys were loved by my son in law...but they were purchased for our grandchildren! The kids were great, giving him a turn! We would walk in the house and the howlers would fly by!They were recommended to me by a teacher friend and she is always right about gifts!!!

                  We just love it. I ordered them for our grandkids ages 5 -10 also our married kids with no kids of their own ages 28 - 30. I think the adults probably have more fun than the young kids. We like sneaking up and scaring each other. Planning attacks etc.

                  One of the set of three went to a co worker who runs children/teen grief groups. Great for lightening the mood.

                  Another went to a nephew who was actually a flying monkey in the school play!

                  The last I kept just for fun!
