Playthings Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 2/14/2013 8:00:00 AM

Pet Rock Pals

The Pet Rock Pals make this classic imaginary play just a little more animated! Kids can make their very own pet rocks but in clay form; "rocks" feel like stone once dry. Part of the Imagine I Can collection by Manhattan Toy, each kit is stored in collectible storage lunchboxes and tins and includes a variety of pieces, including googly eyes, pipe cleaners and other felt pieces to personalize their rock friends. For ages 8 and older. $11. Manhattan Toy, Minneapolis. 800.541.1345.
