One Pocket Pal driver and detailed instructions included. To build: ages 8 and up. To play: ages 4 and up. Germany

Tumbling Gnomes Kit

Contains all you need, even the glue, to make four cheerful felt gnomes who will tumble and turn somersaults on every sloping surface, that is not too smooth. The forces of gravity pull at the heavy steel ball contained within. The tumbling gnomes are able to roll down on felt ramps, blankets, cushions, sweatshirts and all sorts of things.
