Tinker Toys

Simon and Vincent received a set of large Tinker Toys for the holidays. These are great toys; I remember building fabulous things with Tinker Toys as a kid. True to form, though, my in-laws never get quite the right thing. They found not regular Tinker Toys, but the jumbo ones, so we have Tinker Toys with wheels the size of saucers and foot-long sticks.

Anyways, Simon was just playing with them, putting wheels on what I thought where axles. No. He laid down on the floor on his back, put an axle/two wheel combination in each hand and started panting.

He made dumbbells for himself.
