“Juguetes”–Shannon’s Creative Photo Challenge/Games
“Jugetes” is Spanish for “Games,” and I made this retablo to honor all the favorite games of the past. Perhaps you’ll recognize the little numbers game, where we had to shuffle the tiles within a set frame to get all the numbers into sequence, or a harmonica, games pieces from different games including Monopoly and Scrabble, a toy duck, doll, toy boat, a guitar, toy horse, dice, toy car, soccer ball, paint and marbles. The star shapes are cut from a plastic Slinky toy made in the shape of stars. I was very happy to see this prompt, Shannon. Thanks so much!
Mexican Train is wildly popular among expats in Mexico. This particular version is called “Chickenfoot.” Strangely enough, the Mexican name for Mexican Train is Cuban Train–“Tren Cubano!”

I loved dice games and Monopoly was one of the greats! Slinky(s) rule!

They do, but these plastic star shaped ones, although great for art projects, are not the best performance-wise.
