This is just plain cool, in my opinion. And given the number of conversations we've had with the kids about stars when we're out and about it's useful too.

Having a summer backyard bash? Leave this out and when night falls, you have something that will deliver a lot of entertainment and interest.

A great dad gift, a great kid gift... heck, a great ME gift!

PRO THUMB WRESTLING

Description

I own two of these. That's how much use they get at parties. There have been actual LINES that have formed to play. I know, I was a little shocked and disturbed too....

Great price for anything from an office party or hostess gift to a back-seat-child-entertainment system.
