Summer Fun Indoor Toy Races
Summer heat and monsoon storms in Arizona are soon to be keeping us indoors for playtime more than my daughters would like. I have a few fun activities planned to beat the summer boredom and first up is our summer fun indoor toy races. We have many battery operated toys but prior to this week they were sadly the forgotten toys spending their days on bookshelves instead of being played with simply because their batteries had not been replaced. I gathered up all the toys and powered them up with Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries from Walgreens for indoor toy races to for an afternoon of playtime fun. This activity is great because each race is different and you can include many different types of toys.
Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries are the #1 longest lasting battery with a 20 year shelf life. They are lightweight and perform in extreme temperatures, -40° to 140° Fahrenheit, so it’s okay if we take the toy races outside and they end up left on our patio during the hottest summer days. The Ultimate Lithium™ maintains peak performance so our toys are in top shape for speedy indoor toy races.
Indoor Toy Races
Supplies:
- battery operated toys
- Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries
- screwdriver
- washi tape
After you’ve decluttered the playroom and your children’s bedrooms to find all the battery operated toys, replace the batteries in the toys with Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries.
Then set up your toy race track lines. This can be as simple or complicated as your children desire. My youngest daughter was excited to get the races started so we kept it easy with straight race lines on our dining room floor.
Put your toy racers in position, power them on and cheer for the winner!
You might be surprised by the quickest toys and that sometimes slow and steady wins the race. Our little shape turtle was much faster than some of our other preschool toys from the playroom.
Bring back all those beloved toys that haven’t been played with for awhile with just a few easy battery changes.

That looks like so much fun for the kids. I LOVE how adorable those little battery operated creatures are.
My kids would have a blast doing these races! We go through a lot of these batteries. They work so well and last a long time at least.
I’ve been trying to come up with really fun summer ideas to beat boredom. I think this is really cool. I’m going to have some little ones over this week and will give this a try. The toys are too cute.
This is such a fun idea and a great way to take a break from the hot summer sun. Between video game controllers, remotes and tech devices, we keep a steady supply of these batteries on hand.
This is great to revive old toys with batteries. I would think the summer alone in Phoenix Arizona would keep you inside. I prefered outdoors in the winter when I lived there. But monsoon rains are pretty awesome.
Oh yeah I always keep a healthy supply of Energizer on hand! Not for toys per say but for medical devices they are the only batters I trust!
Such a great idea to make our indoor activities to be more fun and Energizer is one our trusted batteries in our place.
Energizer has always been a great brand of battery to use in our home. It’s amazing how many toys need batteries these days!
My boys would have so much fun racing! Love energizer batteries.
That really looks like a lot of fun. I would love to do this with the kids on a day like this where it is too rainy to do anything outside.
We always have a drawerful of batteries on hand. Definitely needed for fun times like these listed during the hot summer months.
These are all some pretty cool toys! Making sure they work with good batteries is always a good idea.
These are cool toys. My mind went back to my childhood days when I used to freak out on these kind of toys. Kids will find them really fascinating.
Such cute toys and I bet kids would surely have fun playing with those toys. Just make sure to stock up on batteries. 🙂
Those look really cute. Does the turtle win the race? Think of the stories.
OMG, these are so adorable. My youngest would absolutely love them!
