TOOBERS & ZOTS AND OOBLES     

Record 2 of 3.

TOOBERS & ZOTS are washable, non-toxic, flexible, tactile foam block and foam rubber toy kit for children with visual or physical disabilities. The soft, large-scale construction toy kits include TOOBERS, which are brightly-colored foam tubes that bend like pipe cleaners and range in length from two inches to four feet long and ZOTS, an assortment of small geomtric shapes that attach to toobers like beads on a string. The tactile nature and larger sizes aid in grasping and successful play. Children can use the items to create bugs, hats, jewelry, sculpture, monsters, dinosaurs and magic wands. The kits encourage creativity, problem-solving and imaginative play. TOOBERS & ZOTS are available in five different sets: Zippy (20 pieces, $5.95); Zany (50 pieces, $15.95); and Zowie (120 pieces, $29.95). OOBLES (sold separately) expand the play options of TOOBERS & ZOTS by introducing new shapes and colors. OOBLES include small and large foam balls, a large foam block, and FLIP-FLOP ZOTS (two-sided, two-color ZOTS), as well as a selection of TOOBERS. OOBLES may be used alone or with TOOBERS & ZOTS sets. Oobles are available in three sets: Kit & Kaooble (175 pieces in a hexagonal storage box, $59.95); Bigooble (75 pieces, $24.950); and Ooblet (50 pieces, $17.95). All TOOBERS & ZOTS and OOBLES sets include an instruction/idea guide.
