Tumble Bunnies. I made an Easter version of an old tumbling toy for Disney FamilyFun Magazine. The toy uses marbles to propel itself. Usually, it’s a tumbling acrobat. It used to be popular in China, then in the nineteenth century it made it’s way to Europe and became a popular folk toy. It’s pretty clever, and really fun to watch. It works best on a surface that’s not too slick, like couch cushions, or blankets. Watch the video below to see it in action and learn how to make it. Click on the image below, then print.

Voici donc en collaboration avec Audrey de Date Clef quelques idées deco pour vos tables...
