On this day in history in 1752, Benjamin Franklin got the bright idea of flying a kite in raging lightening storm and not only survived this challenge to Darwin's theory but ended up inventing the Lightening Rod.  Since he was successful with one toy, I thought five more might be in order.

I really enjoyed Yo Yo Man! This was a great, whimsical set. You made me smile!

Have a wonderful weekend Jamie.

LOL!

GREAT idea for a set, Jamie. I admit to a fondness for 'Hula Hoop'.

NO "Let's Go Fly a Kite" from Mary Poppins? :( :D

I really wanted Amanda McBroom's "Make Me A Kite" and it's not on You Tube anymore, but "Let's Go Fly A Kite" would have been a great substitute.

I was always fascinated by the way Tommy Smothers could yo-yo. I was never any good at it myself, although I did try.

Love this Set and the idea behind it!

I was thinking the exact same thing as Faire as the moment I saw the title of your post I started humming that tune! Glad to see that you added it in comments for those of us that couldn't get it out of our heads!

Just looking at the Chipmunks can cause a day's worth of their quirky songs to be embedded in my ear. THANK YOU!!!
