Brain Noodles take us back to kindergarten art class and our masterful pipe cleaner creations. While Brain Noodles are kind of like bigger (18-inches long!), fluffier pipe cleaners, what you can do with them is so much more. Featuring 12 'noodles' in various colors and an activity book, Brain Noodles challenge you to use your noodle (get it?) to bend, twist and create anything you can imagine. A great exercise in divergent thinking, Brain Noodles make a great gift for kids and one-time childhood art prodigies looking to reclaim their former glory as the craftiest kid in the kindergarten class.

Colors may vary.

The object of the game is to collect as many eggs as possible. But don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched, because the real challenge of the game isn’t just catching eggs—it’s keeping them. That’s because you have to hold your eggs where the dice say without dropping them: between the knees, in your armpit, under your chin. Which gets even harder when you’re doing an egg dance race around the table.
