One little known fact about me is that I love zombie movies. Before you go into a whole explanation about the fact that zombies aren’t real, know that I am fully aware of this. I’ve always been a big fan of horror movies and can remember snuggling on the couch with my uncle and watching them as we enjoyed eating some popcorn. Although I don’t let my sons watch zombie movies just yet, they do enjoy pretend playing about what they would do if a zombie were to hypothetically cross their paths.
The Nerf Zombie Strike Crossfire Bow from Hasbro is perfect for bringing down zombies one by one. It is very easy to use and all you have to do is load one of your powerful Zombie Strike darts and draw the string back so you’re locked and loaded when a zombie crosses your path. The darts are made out of soft foam just like all other Nerf products so our boys engaged in pretend play and we didn’t have to worry about them getting hurt.
It was a real hoot to watch our boys playing for hours with their Crossfire Bows. The Bow blaster has real crossbow action and includes 4 Zombie Strike darts which can be fired by pulling back the string to load and pulling the trigger. I’m not sure that my husband had as much fun as we all did because we designated him the resident zombie and he got hit with most of the darts. Even I have to admit that he did a great job pretending to be a zombie and I’m thinking of having him try out for that popular zombie series that is currently on television.
The Nerf Zombie Strike line will be expanding this Spring to a full line of blasters, bows and foam sword toys designed to help your children win epic battles against zombies of any other imaginary foe that they can think of. All Nerf Nation zombie hunters will be ready for anything!
Let’s Discuss: Why do you think Nerf Zombie Strike toys are great for children to engage in pretend play?

Oh boy, I know EXACTLY what I am getting my boys for their birthdays this year. They are going to flip when they see them.
I am pretty sure my son is going to be asking for one of these soon. Looks like a lot of fun!
Zombies have become so popular now that every kid needs a Zombie Hunter. Looks like your son is ready when that zombie crosses his path.
I’m cracking up that your husband had to be the target! Those Nerf bows look like SO much fun!
My son would love this! He doesn’t own too many Nerf toys at the moment, but this one looks great, especially when the warmer weather graces our presence and he can go outside and play with it.
We found these at the store the other day and are actually headed out today for a war in the woods behind our house. It is going to be so much fun, I plan to take my boys down with mine!
My boys are Nerf nuts! They would love this! For my daughter’s upcoming 13th birthday she has her heart set on a zombie apocalypse survival kit- a real one! Ha!
This is so freaking cool! I don’t need kids to want this toy. I want it for me. I want to shoot at my boyfriend!
I’m in i want to go Zombie hunting where do i sign up for the fun.
Now that sounds fun! Can I come zombie hunting as well 🙂 xx
What a great summer toy! Kids would have a blast on a nice day!
My son would love this. What a great toy for outdoors. AMber N
Oh my heart, my husband and kids seriously need this! Goodness, I need one too! Ok…we need FIVE of these! lol. We would have the best nerf war! -Amber E.
This is awesome!! My son told me about the zombie line and I thought he just made that up until I saw a commercial, lol
What a cool toy! My son was totally into nerf guns for a while. He would have gone nuts over the zombie line!
I love that you included a video! I’ve been seeing this advertised and it looks so cool. I love horror movies and zombies too!
I’m sure the little one was happy to participate in this promotion! He looks thrilled 🙂
How fun! I’ll bet this review was a fave of your kiddos! LOL
My gosh, that looks like a fun toy to play with! Forget a kiddo, give it to me 😛
I could totally see all my boys enjoying this toy. I might just have to get three of them, so they can all have their own to play with.
When we grew up, we were allowed to play cops and robbers – or cowboys and Indians. Today, kids don’t get to do that as much so Nerf products let them do it! Attack of the zombies!
This brings back memories – I was quite of a tomboy when I was a kid and I remember having stuff like these and playing around with guys my age, lol!
My son loves Nerf! This would totally be right up his sleeve! Good thing his bday is coming up soon!
We got my daughter a girls nerf crossbow for christmas. She has fun shooting everyone with it. lol
My boys love Nerf guns. It really gets them outside and active.
Yes! I totally need this for when it’s me versus the zombies!
I think my husband and I need these. nerf toys are soooo much fun!
Cool! My cousins love this stuff, sadly I’m always the target!
I think this is a good toy for good natured fun. My daughter loves nerf guns, especially when she gets me with them! lol
