Field Trip: Moon Marble Company

This morning I took the kids on a field trip. We went to Moon Marble Company in Bonner Springs. They have marble-making demonstrations there and we had a great time watching a man make handmade marbles, one at a time. It was actually neat for me to see, too, how the glass is layered to make the different designs. He said he's a fast marble maker and made each one in about 15 minutes. I think the kids had a lot of fun, too. Then we of course shopped in the toy/marble shop for a while. It was really neat to see the variety of marbles they had there. I'm sure we'll be going back there some time.
