Eco-Plunk

As a parent, have you ever bought your kids something just because you were denied it yourself during childhood? When I saw the game Kerplunk in a charity shop the other week, I had to buy it, if only because it had been top of my unfulfilled wishlist for years when I was a kid.

Of course, it couldn't live up to a lifetime of anticipation. Could my parents have been right all along when they said that it was overpriced and I would tire of it? I don't know, but I do now know that the construction is flimsy, and that adults, if not kids, soon get tired of the fact that it takes ten minutes to put together and only a minute or two to actually play.

All of which is a long preamble to my saying that this Eco-Plunk version of the game would not only quieten any qualms you have about Kerplunk's plastic construction, but also looks like it'd be quite a bit quicker and easier to set up.

Available on most UK online eco-store sites, including Ecocentric, who will deliver worldwide.
