One of the reasons I love homeschooling: all the cool toys you can get!!! We went to a Children's Museum and they had a magnetic marble run you could create. I found it one on Amazon just like it (Frigits). It's been quite entertaining and not just for me! Nemo, our cat, really likes it too. The kids played with it for hours yesterday and I think it's Simeon's favorite now. He likes to hoard stuff though, and yesterday I found pieces of it in the cat box, his new hiding place for "stuff". So, it's already been washed!!
