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!

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.

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.
