This extremely cute, snap-together Creative Hands® play set features a nattily-hatted, 3-1/2" tall pressed-foam farmer, his soft red barn, flexible white picket foam fence and his cooshy livestock collection, with a 1" chicken, 1-3/8" pink pig, 2-1/2" cow, and 3" horse. The barn stands over 9" tall, with foam hay sticking out of the loft. The textured, pressed-foam pieces require very minimal assembly skills, so it's just the ticket for the littler kiddles. Moo.

Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

Includes (3) replaceable button-cell batteries. Way, way more entertaining!

Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.
