More toys from 2005...

A strange squidgy ball which contains water and bubble mixture, and also - with a tendency to hide - a snowman. It looks as if he has been caught in a snowstorm!

A spoon with a clip instead of a handle. Maybe you could clip it to your plate if you are at a buffet where everyone is standing up?

Plastic clothes pegs that look like birds.

A wooden object with a pen at one end, and a clothes peg at the other end. This is a 'metal pen' - the nib is solid metal, but a soft alloy which means you can write with it.

Paperclips shaped like ducks, and a rubber duck with wild hair!

A duck that took place in the annual 'duck race' on the Thames near where Tim lives.

A strange metal clip. Tim has a whole pack of these but the instructions are all in Japanese!

A wind-up toy that does the splits and then stands up again...

Finally, a strange multi faceted lens, which when you look through it gives the sort of view an insect with a compound eye must see...
