I had the chance to create some fun creatures and play with a new construction set toy called Poly Puzzle. Each set comes with several pieces of pre-cut card in multiple colours that can be made to create cool animals and figures. They even come with the googly eyes, which is a necessity for a budding imagination.
There are easy-to-follow instructions showing you how to make several animals from the pieces inside. And once you are done you can pull them apart and make something else. Like an owl for example. Or something seasonal…
Here’s a snowflake! Perfect for the holiday season and not as complicated as it looks. Check out the video below to see how they did it.
The playability of the Polly Puzzle reminds me a lot of toy called ZAKS, remember those? I totally need to find those again so I can make myself a helmet.
If you ride a bike at night, this gadget is for you. Simply put on these socks the next time you go riding and you’ll easily be spotted in traffic right away.
Not only do they make you more visible at night protecting you and your bike, they also protect your jeans from getting dirty. You’ll never have to worry about getting your jeans caught up in your gears ever again. Genius!
I do have to say though, if your riding habits are anything like the bikers in my area, these socks might make you more of a target than anything else. I’ve been having a hard time spotting the bikers at night but with these socks I’ll be able to time my acceleration towards them perfectly. Totally kidding…
Safety rules.
Unless you cut me off. Then you can feel my wrath Reflective Biker Socks! Feel my wrath indeed.
Introducing the Scratch Map. It’s a wall map that’s designed to look like a travelers map from a long time ago.
The neat feature about this map is that every country in the world is labeled and covered with a coating that can be scratched off once you have visited the area. It has that same feeling as scratching lottery tickets, but it’s even more addicting since it involves your travels! Before you know it you’ll have a customized map showing all the places you’ve been to in the world.
I wonder if I’ll ever scratch this entire map some day? Hmm. I better keep the scratching in the lines just in case.
Just don’t be like me and get scratch happy. That travelers itch is a dangerous itch to scratch.
