The "Perplexus"

Currently, Joel is "perplexed" as he attempts to get his ball past #31.

The object: get your little silver ball

through all the obstacles (more than 50).

Quite a challenge!

Stop in to Planet Mind and try your hand at the display model...

then take it home and let us know if you have it mastered.

Quite a feat!

Melissa and Doug Toys

Here are some Melissa and Doug blocks that are a bestseller in our Kokomo store. Our ladies say that these fly off the shelves... a must-have for any children's play area. They feature wooden, durable pieces, bright colors, and stackable construction (perfect for building towers). Best of all... they're educational.

Any parent of a little boy understands the excitement that accompanies the sound of a fire engine. Wherever we are, whatever we're doing, my two-year-old son stops everything, becomes completely still, and yells, "Fire Truck!" This puzzle by Melissa and Doug features that same siren... every time the puzzle is completed! I love the wooden pieces with knobs... easy for those chubby little fingers to grasp.
