Free toys and priceless entertainment
March 23rd, 2006 | by mbhunter |Toys do not need to be expensive. They don’t even need to be cheap.
They can be free!
The ToobShooter™ Starter Set (click the picture to enlarge) consists of a batting tube (my wife quilts), my computer chair, a Folgers™ coffee can, a yellow golf ball, and a defunct trackball ball. Assembly time required: 8.7 seconds. Operate as follows:
- With daughter watching, insert one of the balls into the high end of tube.
- Wait approximately 1.5 seconds, after which said ball arrives in metal coffee can, making a satisfying noise.
- Repeat until daughter figures out how to do it herself.
- Allow daughter to take over the actions.
- Enjoy squeals of laughter from daughter.

Classic! It boggles my mind that my daughter has a closet full of toys and still prefers to make two rocks in the backyard have a conversation instead of her dolls.
