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
ReplyDeleteI really like these as well! They would be great to have to my classroom!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think you've got a really creative kid there! Cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love my Bucky Balls also, and my super magnets, and the marble maze on my fridge. I love your sense of geometry. Keep exploring.
