Miniature Masonry

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Snap-together building blocks? Those are for cowards. We spit on those. Tough kids use Mini Bricks, monument kits that come with teensy faux-stone textured plastic blocks (1/4” cubes or 1/4” x 1/4” x 1/2", among others), mortar, a mixing tub and a very, very small trowel. The Statue of Liberty has 132 pieces, instructions, and a mounting base. (You don’t build Lady Liberty. She’s in faux-copper, 3” tall; you build the base.) Suitable for kids with small-motor skills and patience. Neatness counts.

Tweezle Dee, Tweezle Dum

These're pleasing tweezers, these are. You pick the approx 6" long bead/pearl tweezers with serrated grips and 3/8" dia cupped jaws to hold small round things. Or the clever cross-lock tweezers, 6" long with wood-grain grips and 1/2" long, serrated 90° jaws that grip tightly. The handy cross-locks will lay flat on their backs to hold stuff, like wires, while you solder.

Fishnets

Not fishnet stockings, but netting for actual fish, direct from the U.S. Army (you'd think Navy, wouldn't you?) in olive drab. It's a survival thing. You get a 10-foot x 5-foot net made of 3/4" squares individually knotted from twisted cotton/nylon, so the net won't unravel if torn. Might have a slightly musty aroma (but definitely not fishy) that a little sunshine time will fix. Great for maritime-theme decoration, bible-camp plays (filled until breaking, walking-on-water background prop…) or, we suppose, fishing. And perfect if you want to go to a costume party as Poseidon.
