This Nerf MicroShots Blaster Bundle is the best thing you can buy for a younger Nerfer. These blasters are small and the prime weight isn't too bad. And best of all? The blasters included in this bundle are actually miniature versions of some of the Nerf guns they might have seen you or their older siblings playing with. Toddlers love to mimic what they see older kids do and that's a proven fact.
If for some reason the prime is too tough on the MicroShots bundle (it shouldn't be), or you just want something more basic, the Nerf Elite Ace SD-1 is your blaster. The Ace is just a Nerf Jolt in some new clothes, and the Jolt has always been a blaster that anyone could use and have fun with. Every Nerf collection needs at least one Jolt.
Yet another Nerf Jolt graces this list and it's for a couple of reasons.: One, Jolts are everywhere. Literally. And two, it's a Spider-Man Jolt. Kids love Spider-Man. Everyone loves Spider-Man. I love Spider-Man. Spread the love, get your toddler a friendly neighborhood Spidey-Blaster. Also comes with two red and blue Spider-Man themed Elite darts.
The Nerf Glowshot is a small Nerf gun with a big gimmick. As we know, very young children like toddlers have very small attention spans. So a gimmick is always good to keep them interested beyond their initial curiosity phase. The Glowshot actually has a button on the back of the handle that depresses when you squeeze the grip. The blaster looks clear initially, but has a green glow to it when you grab the blaster.
If James Bond himself would ever use a Nerf blaster, it probably wouldn't be the Bowstrike. But I like to pretend it would be his blaster of choice. Everything about this little Nerf gun screams "I'm a Nerf Spy!" The Nerf Bowstrike has a cool gimmick where it has bow arms and a flip up sight that pop out when you pull back the priming handle.
The Nerf DinoSquad Stego-Smash is a front loaded, prime-to-pull Nerf gun that should be easy for your youngling. I've heard it might be tricky if they are under 5, but it would give them practice in training their dexterity and hand strength. Plus, it's dinosaur themed. Kids love dinosaurs.
What do you get when you mix the best selling Nerf Strongarm with a Velociraptor? The Nerf DinoSquad Raptor-Slash of course. The Raptor-Slash is a front loading six round cylinder blaster with a pistol slide priming handle up top. Can be tricky to prime for younger kids, but once they're about 5 it should be no problem.
The Crosscut is another Nerf gun with a sweet gimmick. This time it's a spinning saw blade on the front end of the blaster. Pull to prime in the back is large and more manageable for smaller hands, while a secondary tricker under the blaster operates the saw blade. Also available in a cute mini version here: Nerf MicroShots Zombie Strike Crosscut Blaster
I honestly hesitate to add this set of Nerf guns to the list, but... it's ROBLOX! Every single kid I know loves Roblox. These two blasters are very cute little blasters. There's an orange one and a green/blue one. They are both front loaded, single shot blasters. They're small and easy to hold and shoot by little hands. So why do I hesitate? These are hammer action blasters and those are usually a little harder to prime.
So far, every Nerf gun on this list has been single-action/single-fire. Well, no more. It's time to move on to motorized blasters now. And it's time to start moving toward the inevitable: your kid falling in love with Fortnite. The Fortnite SMG-E is a semi-automatic battery operated Nerf gun that fires a shot every single time you pull the trigger. Good luck.
If for some reason, you or the kid you're getting a gift for, just hates Fortnite, you can still get them the same experience. The Nerf Stryfe was the original motorized Nerf gun behind the Fortnite blaster anyway. Get the Nerf Stryfe and a few Modulus Nerf gun attachments thrown into the mix for around the same price.
Does the child you're shopping around for play Minecraft? Of course they do. Take advantage of their love for Minecraft by mixing it with their love for Nerf with the Nerf Minecraft Sabrewing Blaster Bow! It's good for younger Nerfers because all you have to do to shoot is hold the bowstring back and then push the button on the bow handle. It's semi-auto like the Stryfe and Fortnite SMG.
Right after I publish this article, Nerf releases a line of Nerf guns that are actually designed for 6 year olds. Typically, their Nerf guns are 8 and up, so this is really cool. The Nerf Elite JR Rookie Pack includes a pump-action Nerf gun that is sized to fit comfortably in smaller hands. It also has the easiest prime of any Nerf dart gun.
This is a front loaded pull to prime Nerf gun for kids. It features an oversized easy-pull priming handle that has the lowest pull force of any Nerf dart blaster. It's also lightweight and features a super fun and colorful design that kids are sure to love. Get the Explorer blaster for your 6 year old boy or girl and be sure to get a Nerf gun they'll love.
Well, that's all folks. There you have it. You can shop pretty easily for the best Nerf guns for toddlers if you try hard enough. Young children at that age probably shouldn't even be playing with Nerf guns, but when has that ever stopped them? If you don't want them sneaking around behind you or their parents backs, you might as well supply them with some safe, low powered, easy to use Nerf guns that won't let them hurt themselves or anyone around them. Also, get them eye protection. Seriously. Nerf goggles. Do it.
The Eaglepoint reminds me of a new version of the old Nerf Elite Spectre. And much like the Spectre, I'd only recommend a purchase of this Nerf gun if you're in love with the included Nerf gun attachments. That barrel and scope look sick.
The Nerf compatible Worker shoulder stock has been a staple in the aftermarket Nerf attachment community. A near perfect size for teen aged and older Nerfers, the Nerf Worker stock has come in clutch when the official Nerf offering has come...
The Bwine M4A1 Gel Blaster is a super accurate M4 replica that comes in fun Nerf gun colors (translucent orange and blue) and shoots 8mm gel balls at 12 rounds a second at muzzle velocities of 300FPS. Includes 10K gel balls and 2 batteries
Ever wanted to dust off your old Nerf Nitefinder and transform it into a mini-SMG lookin', short-dart firing, mag-fed beast of a blaster? Well now you can, with the 3D printable NiteHawK pump-action tactical body mod kit from Killhouse16!
As The Joker would say, "What happened? Did your balls drop off?" Never again, when you equip the Tac Sac! It's a custom 3D printed ball sac foregrip for Nerf guns. Keep your balls tight and your aim steady with the Tac Sac Foregrip!
The Nerf Hyper Mach-100 is another high capacity, hopper-fed, full-auto blaster that's battery powered and shoots small round balls at high velocities, up to 110 FPS. If you liked the Nerf Rival Perses, you're probably gonna like this too!
No, not that kind of stripper. This Nerf Clipper Strip is a speed-loader for reloading your Nerf magazines when they're empty. You can reload an entire magazine in mere seconds instead of loading one by one like some kind of Nerf peasant.
Nerf hit the ground running with their rapidly growing line of "Orbeez" shooting gel blasters. The Gelfire Legion is the first spring-action blaster in the lineup, but it's no slouch. It features a 130 round hopper and even has Slam-Fire!
500 Glow in the Dark Waffle Darts! Perfect for night missions, these EKIND Glow Darts glow in a bright green color after the sun goes down. And am I the only one that thinks these darts would go perfectly with the Nerf Modulus Evader?
