Bet you  had no idea what a Squinkie  is. I sure didn't. They are a tiny little flexible plastic creatures that kids play with.  They have an eighth inch  hole in the bottom and they fit over a storage rack. My granddaughter collects them and asked me to make a storage rack for them. She has over 350. She wanted a rack to  hang on the wall in her room.  So I made her 2 of these.

    I gave it to her this evening and she loved it. However I told her she must first tell me how many pegs there was on the two of them, by using manual multiplication. She performed it easily, I was surprised that she needed no instructions, calculator or assistance.  She is in the third grade. Another thing that surprised me was that she loves to read, even tho she has all the electronic stuff. :)

    Hi Bob. I must have missed your intro. If so, I'm sorry and, a belated welcome. 

    Good to see you here.

    Well done. I know the granddaughter likes them, but I'll bet you have a real warm feeling about them as well.
