Interesting set off toys found in a silver pan tray. A couple of dogs, some Play-Doh, a crayon, and a fighter plane. Off to the side (not pictured) are the Legos. Interesting with what competes with video games and phone apps these days. (Note: 85% of the world's toys are now made in China!) Frankly, there is still a lot to be said for the creative play of yesteryear. ;-) (Credit Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
This is pretty in pink, amazing. Look closely at this cat. The cat is made of full sticks of Crayola Crayons (literally). The crayons are vertical--base down and point up. It's brilliant rather than using the crayons to draw, the artist used the crayons themselves to put together a colorful cat (I also saw he made a dog and a guitar like this). Very creative...novel...a different way of thinking. We need this cool cat thinking, and from everyone, to drive to solutions and for a brighter future--we can! ;-) (Source Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
