Little toys for little boys


This Christmas there was one toy that we found irresistible and so did our grandchildren.  It was a 1/2 scale model of some Black & Decker power tools.  It was done in plastic but with the well known black and orange color scheme.  It just begged the kids to  use it when their dads got out the big tools.  Sure enough, it was a big hit.

Unfortunately, it wasn't immediately obvious to the kids what the tools were for.  Or at least not what they thought them to be for. Camdan set about  using the power drill to (pretend, thank goodness) drill holes in  his head, his leg, and even to carve out another belly button.  Make me glad there were no sharp edges or real ability to carve or drill out anything with the tools.
