Here is a toy worth its weight in gold. I have pulled this toy out to entertain a variety of ages, group sizes and both boys and girls. It has never failed me in providing constructive, creative and engaging play. It is the ultimate toy.
And in keeping with the simplicity theory that kids have more fun with the box than the expensive whatever that came in it, this toy is about as simple as it comes: straws and plastic jacks. That’s it, folks!
With these two components I have seen kids become inspired, cooperative and focused. I have seen shy kids forget their timidity, aggressive kids work in conjunction with others, older kids lose their self-conscious ‘big-kid’ status and younger kids stand in awe because they helped to make something amazing.
