We began by reading the book Nothing by Jon Agee. It tells the story of how Suzy Gump bought nothing for $300. At first everyone thought she was crazy. Then they thought maybe there really was something to nothing.  Before long, everyone needed nothing and lots of it. A new fad was born!

There have been many fads over the years and we took time to play with many of them:

Bingo...

Rubik's Cube...

Hula Hoops...

Silly putty...

Slinky...
