Caley and Brenna enjoyed this one. The Fripple Shop was our overall favourite Thinkin' Things module. The room has a door, a fax machine and a telephone. The child selects the appropriate fripple from the wall. If it matches the customer's order, it hops down from the wall and bounces out the door, for delivery.
Customers can also 'fax' in their orders or 'walk in' through the door.
The other two modules in this program are BLOX Flying Shapes and BLOX Flying Spheres. In the flying shapes section, the child creates a kinetic work of art. In Flying Spheres, the child explores the action of 3D spheres. We didn't spend a lot of time with the flying shapes, but Caley really liked the flying spheres. Spheres of various sizes and colours can be placed in a '3D space' and then set in motion.
