Now I just fear it! I can only imagine the destruction it would cause if my son and his friends made these. They wouldn't be happy with just one they would build armies with them. Hmm, maybe I could send them outside? Ok, maybe I'll show them how to make this and then run inside.jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925212233815659494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-92178749951119918892009-10-01T15:47:24.855-08:002009-10-01T15:47:24.855-08:00I showed this to my 6yr old and got excited.
