Galison/Mudpuppy's knack for creating exciting, distinctive children's products now includes this craft kit that uses cardboard tubes (the sort found in paper towel and tissue rolls) as a prime crafting component. The kit includes several such tubes and kids are encouraged to collect their own, extending the fun and putting to good use what would otherwise go to waste. The real stars of the kit are the more than 80 bits and pieces included - gorgeously patterned papers, kooky pre-cut stickers and shapes, googly eyes, and other clever components that make transforming the tubes into wildly playful outcomes a smooth, highly creative process. The kits come in three different themes: Feathery Friends, Princess Castle, and Monsters, with enough materials in each to craft a large variety of one-of-a-kind creations. When the crafting is done, the finished products are toys in and of themselves - otherworldly creatures and castles that spring to life in a child's mind, inspiring countless hours of imaginative play.
