my father purchased a toy for my oldest daughter some years ago. she has since grown and moved out, but my younger children still enjoy playing with this wonderful find. i've had to repair one of the pieces multiple times and as i was making the most recent repair the other day, i just sat and wondered at how remarkable this toy really is. it has provided many hours of entertainment for the kids and the 'grownups' in the house.

i thought i would share. i have no idea what it's called, but my dad bought it on amazon.com about 6 or 7 years ago (maybe more).

the pieces all have a stick with a magnet in the end and the ball you see is also a magnet and serves as the hub which holds all the other pieces in place. the puzzle can be put together in many combinations, but the real challenge is to put it together without having any two pieces of the same color touching one another.



it also comes with a small black cup/saucer-shaped base to hold the ball up for assembly and display.

disclaimer:  caution must be taken when reading my blog.  i'm a new creature and the Lord continues to mold and shape me through his will.  older entries may seem to contradict the newer ones.  there's a pretty good chance that they do for two reasons.  first, because of my nature, as i strive for perfection, i will continue to fall short of the mark and should therefore be thankful for his grace and should seek his (and your) forgiveness for having been so foolish in the past.   second, i continue to grow in him; and as changes are made, i have made attempts to change my blog to reflect those changes. in this event, please refer to #1.   if you're interested in perfection, my blog isn't the place to be.  pick up a king james bible (yup, i'm one of THOSE people) and read his PERFECT word.
