this marble mouse is the most amazing toy ever. this is a gift from a girl from china.
you can see a cut out or the stencil of the marble mouse, first you have to draw and cut
this stencil and then fold it to give it a shape of mouse, there are a few lugs and these
lugs are either to insert in the slits or you can stick them. slowly the shape of the
mouse will emerge. these are the front paws. you can see there is an elliptical hole in
the stomach of the mouse. now this is the folded mouse all ready. this is an elliptical
stomach to insert the marble. now you pick up the folded mouse and put it in the elliptical
stomach. place the mouse on the book. you can see the marble inside the stomach. you
tilt the book and mouse goes just round and round. it is absolute delight to see this
mouse scurry along, make circles on the book. it is one of the simplest and greatest toys.
this is another species of the rat. its the ratus ratus. this is the bottom view, you
can see the stomach and the marble. place this again on the book and here is the ratus
ratus, the most dangerous of the mouses scurrying along, making circles after circles. what
a delightful toy! with a small card sheet and a marble you can make this dynamic and
beautiful toy.
