Jeepers! I forgot about how quickly fad come to chose in middle school. My son seems to come home obsessing about something. Here's his latest:

BUCKYBALLS!!!
Have you heard of them. They look like teeny silver beads except they are superduper magnetic. Using money saved over from the summer, he purchased his first set...216 balls. I was a skeptic. But look at what he created in less then 1/2 hour.


Can you see the little details in there. The kids an artist.

Every crafter mom's dream in a child.




The Scuba Diver

This is his storing position. He cubes his balls and stores them in a small box. He had me try them and I understand. It's frustrating, but I understand. We were talking about these things for weeks. I hate following trends. I like to march to my own beat. But, these are cool. If you are looking for a fun Christmas idea for your older kids, I dare say, this is a good one.

Looks like fun but would only last half a day in my house I bet lol
I really like these as well! They would be great to have to my classroom!
I would just love these for myself! I'm sure you could use them to create all types of designs. What a clever son you have!
Yep, I think you've got a really creative kid there! Cool. :-)
I love my Bucky Balls also, and my super magnets, and the marble maze on my fridge. I love your sense of geometry. Keep exploring.
