It's a house! It's a dinosaur! It's a castle... It is whatever you can imagine building with this amazing new invention from some Cal Tech alumni working in a crazy little building in Menlo Park. We were walking through the Maker Fair and overwhelmed as we were by so many things going on, so many gadgets, so much hands-on fun, we were still stopped dead in our tracks when we saw these gigantic creations made out of playing cards. How did they do that? With the invention of a little "skallop" clip, building houses out of cards has turned into something beyond anything we'd ever imagined before. You'll love this simple but incredibly fun creativity tool.

Plus, they're made right here in the USA from sustainably harvested wood, safe for children to chew on (come on, you know they will), and assembled locally by an organization that supports adults with disabilities and a local county worker support organization. The story can't get much better than that, can it? Well, actually, yes. The young people (when you're in your 50's, everyone looks young) who run the company are adorable and sweet.
