Moon Marble Company

About several weeks ago, I headed with a group of kids to the Moon Marble Company.  Talk about a fun field trip!  The kids were taught how to play marbles, watched a demonstration on how to make marbles and picked out their very own set of marbles to take home.  The set even included one shooter!

The Moon Marble Company location really is a diamond in the rough.  The building is made of cinder blocks, and sports a drab gray exterior paint.  But, check out the inside, and that is where the treasure is!  Of course, there are marbles galore -- since that is the namesake, after all, but there is so much more.  The shop features nostalgic toys, and toys that maybe have been forgotten by many.  Toys that simply do not require batteries - only imagination!

The photo features some of our crew selecting their own set of marbles to take home.  The marble selection reminded me of a bulk candy store -- bins, and bins of marble choices everywhere!  Tons of color options, smooth, textured, sparkled, shiny, and mirrored.  Wow, what a fun place!  Check out more at www.moonmarble.com and well, head back to childhood for a bit =)
