I have been dying to get these for the kids... of course you've gotten them first... you are so hip. ;o) open-ended toys are so awesome. I'm constantly amazed at what kids will come up with. Something happens when we get older...our brains freeze or something. It seems like we need to be told what to do with a toy or a gadget. Grownups should be required to play with these. Might keep us out of the nursing home!
Well, I can sit in one, but it isn't pretty! Walking across them is fairly safe for adults if you have bare feet and/or a good sense of balance. We're planning to bring them to the beach this weekend, so hopefully we'll find new uses there. -e
No -- at least I hope it isn't! Instead of buying whatever lead-tainted, plastic stuff that's available at TRU or Target, I'm advocating a more thoughtful use of your toy dollar. I try to find things that are a little more open-ended; a little off the beaten path.
For the record, we do have plastic, battery-operated character toys in our house. I've even bought a few myself. So I'm not judging. I just want to share my fabulous finds!

They should make these in adult sizes. :)
