Love the windmill and how these simple things bring back our childhood memories, we used to play hours making these and the whip and tops, we used to get our tops and chalk and make some fabulous patterns on them and also making the windmills with any paper that was to hand.Thank you for the memories and the windmill jigsaw.
I remember playing hop Scoth on the walk! What fun to remeber the good old days! My brother taught me to shoot marbles and I was the only girl on the playgound that could play!

How lucky we are to have such memories as the children do not seem to know these games, but then we had plenty of space to play lots of games and the young ones seem to have no space at all, still they love there mobile phones, that seems to keep them occupied I can not seem to get the hang of them. but times have certainatly changed.

I agree with you. How rewarding and healthier it would be for our young ones to play marbles and hopscotch etc., instead of so much time on the cellphones and computers. But, times have changed, as I've been reminded by my grandchildren.........! Have a good day. :)

I wonder if I could teach my neighbors kids to play these games.

Hi toadalove, what a wonderful idea. I bet they would love it. How much fun that would be. :)
My grandfather used to make these for us to play with during summer break from school. I was the oldest grandchild, so he taught me how to make them too. We kept all the neighborhood kids in supply of pinwheels. What memories.
Good afternoon to you...I need lots of those, maybe I could fill my flower bed that the neighbor keeps spraying with them, would be hard to kill those, but would have some color!

You made me laugh! Go to a Dollar Tree store, if you have one, where everything is a dollar, and buy some artificial flowers and put in your flower bed and he can spray day and night and he can never kill them. Blow his mind! LOL

Good Afternoon to All! Just got back from hubby's eye appt. I've thinking about putting one of our moisture alarms in the garden, it about twice as loud as a smoke alarm and much more annoying! Thanks for all of your help, loved the sprayer idea. I have thought about the artificial flowers, but the bad part of it is they really can't see this bed unless they are on that side of their house, which is usually just a muddy mess.
