 Make a stealth fighter paper airplane out of some really cool paper that you may have around the house or may have doodled on yourself! See who can fly the plane the farthest or who can fly their plane the highest....

 The New Year is just around the corner and it may  be time for a new journal.... why not trick out one that you may have ourchsed or just totally make one from scratch? Set a goal too to add your thoughts to your journal everyday.

This is a really cool idea! As you can see, balloons are filled and strung along the ceiling with different times on them. Each balloon has a secret message inside that is something different to do at each of the times listed on the balloons. So, you pop balloon #1 at 6:30 and it may have a message that says..... time to make cupcakes!
7:10 may be time to have a race!
7:30 could be time for a snack
8:15 could be time to paint t-shirts with a 2014 message in glow in the dark paint.
9:30 is time to make New Year's Eve poppers.
10:05 Make some duct tape wallets
11:00 light some sparklers (outdoors of course)
11:45 Get the glasses ready for the big toast! Don't forget the noise makers too!

How Many toys do we have?

How many toys do we have?

That's a tough question to answer!

We think that all depends on your perspective.

If you're 3 years old and cruising around the store, it must look like we have a kazillion trillion toys because toys are everywhere go almost to the ceiling.

If you're 8, we have a hundred gags and bad jokes, lots of airplanes, cool Klutz books,  Nanoblocks, Breyer horses, and thousands of little Japanese erasers!

We could tell you how many toys we have  in our database, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate because some of those toys may only be Christmas items, some may only be Summer toys, and some we, well, we decided they didn't belong here. 

We could nail the number of toys for you by running some fancy reports and by doing alot of reading. That almost sounds grown up.... instead, we think it would be way more fun to imagine how many toys we have and  try to guess the number!!
