TOY OF THE MONTH 
Corn Balls 

Too "Corny"?

NO!  No learning toy is too gimmicky. The experts tell us, the more unusual your learning tools, the more memorable your lessons.  Try tossing a Corn ball to students and add an element of intrigue to any of your challenging question games or icebreaker activities.

They are also great for delivering messages about change - managing change, coping with the effects of change, making changes, etc.

Price:  $6.50 for set of 2
