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.

Your know they say when the kids tire of the toys keep the boxes they came in for them to play in….Some what the same fun and excitement can come from the simple things….And so much cheaper too.
