Felt Game Boy with vintage game charms

Jill sez, "This handcrafted (Etsy) 'real world' take on Game Boy consists of a felt 'Game Boy' console with little clay marios, luigis, mushrooms, turtles, tetris pieces and other iconic video game characters, and instructions to create scavenger hunts and active play in real physical space - encouraging couch potato gamer kids to spend some time moving around.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

hmmm… trying to figure out where the “vintage” comes in here… looks like the little charms are all newly hand-crafted.

cute, though!

cute take on the ispy bags (i make them too) but it won’t get a couch potato kid to move around lol It will maybe keep a little one quiet and occupied in the car for awhile though
