Just make it into a ball, color it however you want, make a small crack in it, and you got yourself somesort of piggy bank XD
Even if you make something, don't you need a kiln to keep it for a long time? Else it'll just dry and crumble away...
Did children ever buy chess sets? I thought this was something the adults bought usually... And I think Rubics Cubes are still bought every now and then at the very least... Most children give up in a few minutes after being clueless about how to make it work though, since they didn't study the techniques you need to finish it and the like... >.>
Chess is a wonderful thing, and it looks cool, so many children buy it, though they usually break the board quickly. Same with rubics cube
Well, the rubics cubes bought on stores are usually pretty terrible and clunky and are super hard to move. It's close to impossible to not break them while trying to play. I agree that chess is super fun, and I loved playing chess since I was a kid, but... Dad was the one that bought it, not me, I never asked for a chess set... >.>
