Blow Fish Toy: Genius!


Joel Henriques is one of the most creative artists I've ever seen. I'm so glad he dedicates his time to develop clever toys! Check out this one! A Blow Fish Toy: easy to make, loads of fun for kiddos. All you do is make the fish (using the template and the directions on the sketch below), thread the string through the straw that's inside the fish, then tape the string ends to your wall. Once it's on the string, you blow the fanned out tail and make the fish zoom down the line. Genius! And your kiddos can color the fish(s).

A 3-in-1 Eco Bike

Unlike any other running bikes, the Wishbone bike evolves with a child's different stages of development. It starts at age 1 as a trike, converts to a running bike as the child grows, and by four to five years old, the wishbone frame is flipped, making the Wishbone Bike one of the largest running bikes on the market. Every Wishbone Bike has 60% post-consumer recycled plastic wheels, is made from sustainably managed woods and is bonded and finished with eco-friendly products. The Bike box and all printed material inside is recycled and printed with non-toxic inks.
