 Coin Factory Bank: Saving change was never so much
fun! It is so addicting you won't be able to stop dropping coins into this
wonderful machine. You can insert up to 3 coins at a time, watch in amazement
as each coin individually:
1: Travels up a belt 2: Drops through a series of slides 3: Is lifted again
up a spiral chamber 4: Is dropped into a moving arm & carried across the
bank, where... 5: Another series of slides receives the coin, then...
6: A second moving arm comes to pick up the coin, deposits it into a slot,
then onto a track on the outside of the bank then into the bank for safe
keeping.
Once the
coins are safe, the electronic brain automatically shuts off the bank,
waiting for the next coin to be deposited.
It's amazing to watch and a great entertainment for both adults and children!

great new ride on. Not a luge, not a bike, not a

silently. It offers the enjoyment of new locomotion possibilities that can't
be experienced on any other bike or ride-on. The principle behind the EzyRoller is so powerfull that
most kids can go alone with their EzyRollers within
seconds and as young as 3 years old. You can reach speed up to 12 mph once
you have the technique (and legs)! Adjustble for
all ages with a 150 lb. weight limit.

 Jumbulaya is an addictive, multi-faceted
word strategy game in which each player works with five letter tiles on
his/her tray and all the letters on the board, rearranging, adding, and
trading them, building and claiming longer and longer words each turn.
Simultaneously, as players build words horizontally, they also look for a Jumbulaya. A Jumbulaya is a
seven-, eight-, or nine-tile word that can be spelled vertically on the
board. Players strategize and plan multiple moves ahead to create longer and
longer words. A player earns points for all lines he/she claims, bonus points
for using "letter-combo" tiles, and even more points for being the
first to find a Jumbulaya. Multi award winner! The
player who earns the most points, wins! 2-4 players, ages 8 and up CLICK HERE FOR MORE

 Jigsaw puzzles are all the same, right?
Hundreds of abstract, interlocking pieces fit together to produce a scene
from nature or an image of napping kittens. Some puzzles have evolved to 3D
versions and computer adaptations, but the end goal remains the same: to
recreate the picture on the front of the box. Artist Alex Beard has long wondered why that is the expected
standard. Why can a puzzle only make one picture? In his line of work, the
goal is creativity, curiosity and novelty. Couldn’t puzzles be
innovative as well? With the introduction of Alex Beard Impossible Puzzles,
Beard proves that by looking at the jigsaw puzzle with a new perspective,
anything is possible. Alex Beard
Impossible Puzzles are based on four original works of
art by Beard. However, the final result does not have to be the
picture on the box cover. Each puzzle piece can be rearranged into a new
composition, a new outline, a new image – a work of art of the
puzzler’s very own.
