Think-ets rhyme with trinkets. And that’s what they are — and more!
Each Think-ets bag fits in the palm of your hand. A bag holds 15 miniature toys. My green bag contains: a book, a milk jug, a ring, an alphabet block, a Guatemalan doll, a shell, a hammer, a rose, a pig, a hammer, a pitcher, a burrito, a silver wish charm, a peace symbol and a magic want. All of these are smaller than my pen cap. Small. Cute. And my kids LOVE that which is small. Then, there are the thinking applications . . .
What games can you play? (Besides the obvious make-believe fun?!) Here are a few suggestions:
- What’s missing?
- What’s your story?
- What’s moved?
- What’s similar?
- What’s new?
- What is the rarest, your favorite, the fastest, etc.?
I found Think-ets at a toy store in Colorado and immediately contacted the owners to rave about their product. They happily offered an Imagination Soup reader a chance to win the blue bag!!
So, now for the good part and the reminder – these are not for young kids & are a choking hazard. If you’re an Imagination Soup subscriber, comment to win. To subscribe, click here!

These are fabulous. Please put me in the running for your giveaway.
My oldest loves all things that are small as well and is quite the collector. He would have a great time with Thinkets!
These Thinkets Trinkets would be great with the students I work with in our library media center.
