Simple Pleasures

My smaller kids have a lot of fun with homemade spinning button toys like these. The ones in the photo cost $6 each online or~ you could make your own like I did, for free. All you need is a two hole button of a decent size (like 1-3") and some string. It takes all of 2 minutes to make and gives hours of fun. Show it to anyone over 40 and I bet they'll remember having one as a kid themselves!
