Subject: Sword Alternative

Hi folks
I finally ran with the idea of making a sword alternative. I stole, just
kidding, I created an offshoot of an idea.
I used the one idea mentioned of the hoop/magnifying glass that is
wrapped around three other 3/4 filled 260's twisted together. It is a
sort of wrecking ball. The three 260's are placed inside of the hoop.
The kids loved them!  I called them Zonkers, just cuz it was like
mentioned on the list.

Couple benefits
+The kids were very active with them, and were able to create their own
games with them.
+When a piece popped, they could still use the parts that were left.
+When more pieces popped, they still had 3 sections of balloons to
continue to play with.
I am anxious to try them again in the right atmosphere groups.

Try it and lemmeknow
