The simplest ideas work the best, brilliant.

very good..what a brilliant idea

[gness]

That's so good, Hoppy....and if you tell the child not to touch......they'll spend hours on it......☺

[gness]

Do you know, Hoppy...this has fascinated me. We have a new baby in the family.....I think I might just make something along these lines for her....xx

I would have loved one of these

Are you still struggling with some of them?

[gness]

I doubt it, Ark.....Hoppy became an expert at unlocking locks when Rowan had him in the dungeon.....☻

[Arksided]

Ahh I see, I was willing to offer my expertise.

[gness]

Ahh...Rowan had you locked in the dungeon too....hmmm...she kept that quiet...x

These are used in special needs schools too. Lights are good as well.

[Arksided]

A long time since I spent some time in the dungeon ;-) Rowan and Redman were sorted posters.

[gness]

They were, Ark....I do miss them......great sense of fun.....but last I heard they were happy.....and I like that...x

Hi, Pixie......x

[pixie374]

Hi gness :-). How's the baby? xx

[Arksided]

Ahh that is good to know thanks Gness, thought they disappeared on a beautiful pea-green boat.

I worked for some time in a well known builders supply depot, and we had a display board, mounted under the trade counter, of door handles. bolts, hinges, knockers,(door) letter boxes and all sorts of joinery hardware. Every kid who came in was fascinated and would spend the whole time trying out the mechanisms and just generally exploring the possibilities. The number of parents, both general public and builders, who said they wished they could take it home because they had never seen the little blighters so quiet was amazing. Boys and Girls alike loved it.

Pixie....baby is fine thanks....and gorgeous....x

Think Rowan pops in here occasionally, Ark...grab her if she does.....

You didn't cash in and make some to sell then, Togo?...☺

[Togo]

Gness you don't do you? We all just used to have a laugh and comment that it has at least one use. Seeing the post by Hopkirk just reminded me of it.

[gness]

I'd have bought one, Togo....black and blinged up of course....☺

[Togo]

Morning Hopkirk. Ta for that.
