[Nfb-krafters-korner] summer fun with Kids

[Terrence van Ettinger]

Oh yeah...I loved those too as a kid, but haven't run into them in a long while.  I used to make all kinds of stuff out of those while waiting in doctors' offices etc. when I actually had some.  Wonder if they're still made...might just have to go goofy and get a set.  '-)
