Today’s plaything: marbles
! Did you know marbles have been found in the ruins of ancient Egypt? Talk about a popular toy! My boys were excited to read about them in their history book. And since marbles are beautiful as well as fun, they can be enjoyed all your life, though you may have to stop playing when you can’t get up off the floor anymore. Then you can start collecting them in a jar, like my dad did.
Marbles are a choking hazard, so it should go without saying that young children should be closely supervised while playing with them. That won’t be too difficult, since you will want to be down there with them. Don’t know how to play? No problem! You can find rules for several games at Marble Rules. It will take you just a few minutes to figure out how to play, and much longer to perfect your mad skillz. Enjoy!
