The All New Improved Marble Ramp!

In an effort to rid our home of all plastic toys and kitchenware, Ashe packed away the boys' plastic marble ramp. But, this is a home that must have a marble ramp so we visited the local toy store in search of a worthy wooden alternative. We were lucky enough to visit the very same day that a Hape Toys representative was at the store promoting some of their wooden toy sets. A marble ramp was one of the featured toys. Seeing how enthralled the boys were with the marble ramp, the rep immediately asked if they would star in their latest promotional video. Naturally, we agreed! Two weeks later, the online commercial is ready and Rai and Ko are instant stars! Sure, they may not look as well groomed as the other kids in the ad, but they will certainly appeal to that market segment who cannot afford a home with a living room with more square footage than the typical S.F. apartment. It was a win-win: they got video footage that will appeal to the low income crowd while we have two young stars on our hands and  a new marble ramp! Thanks, Hape Toys!
