The ultimate sled hill thrill! Ultra fast, ultra portable, rugged,
turns on a dime. Weight limit 250 lbs. It weighs less than 4
lbs. Ages 5+. Wheee!
Amaze-N-Marbles I $32.50 I Item No. 57127
Set up your course, and the marble chase is on. 60-piece set includes 10
marbles. Ages 8 and up.
Collector’s Edition Slinky I $8.00 I Item No. 32028
It took us a couple hours to write this description, because we kept
playing with the Slinky! Naval engineer Richard James invented this
beloved toy by accident in 1943. His wife named it after a Swedish
word for “stealthy, sinuous” and when it debuted at Gimbel’s in
Philadelphia in 1945, all 400 of the little devils sold out in 90
minutes. Here it is, the original metal version, in its 1945 replica
cardboard box, ready to make its happy slinkity sound in your
house.
Fiddlestix™ I $29.50 I Item No. 85160
It’s the endlessly creative and fun toy almost all of us tinkered with as a
kid. I’m pleased we can bring back the original and best set:
Fiddlestix™. 144 pieces to play with! Chunky wooden rods, spools,
pulleys, fan blades, caps and more come in multiple colors and fit
together easily and securely for limitless building possibilities. Packaged
in a canister that also works as a storage container when not in use. For
ages 4 and up. Note: Fiddlestix sets are dyed with vegetable based food
colorings then tumbled in paraffin wax to seal them. No paints are used
to color these wooden construction play sets.
Shut the Box I $25.00 I Item No. 57034
So addictive you can pass an entire cold snap without
notice! This fun, fast-paced game for 1 or more players is
also perfect for teaching kids math skills. Just roll the dice
and topple the pin or combination of pins that add up to the
score you rolled. Your turn ends when your dice roll can’t
turn down another pin. Record the score, reset and pass
the box to the next player. Last person to the penalty
number (you decide it based on how long you have to play)
wins!
