Keggy,

I suppose marbles are a bad idea with swallowers - sorry about that...

What about doing it on a bigger scale? a bigger board would mean being able to use bigger balls that can't be swallowed (or can't even fit in a mouth).... or you could use some sort of round candy as the rollers instead of marbles.


about the paper chips.... - what about getting a large circle punch and punching out circles from the thin foam board (I'm a big fan of foam board, can you tell?) The foam would be heavier than paper, last longer, and with a large hole punch (can be found in the scrapbooking aisle) would be easy enough to do.

As fo adding the hospitals name to the chips - it's fairly easy to get one of those "return address label" self-inking stamps that come with letters/numbers so that each person can make it to have their name/address on it (you can definately find these at Staples) and you could use that type of stamp to make the hospitals name (or initials at least) to stamp it on the chips.

LOL candy would last about 5 seconds!! But on a positive note, I wouldn't have to call a code if they ate one.

If I can find an easy way of making the chips... and my boss says yes to the idea ... I could make a stamp out of lots of things, just don't want to cut out a few hundred circles.

I had looked up a circle punch on the internet and found a few, not looking to spend that kind of money especially since I would have to wait for it... but if he yes's the idea a scrapbook store is the way to go... great idea!

Worse comes to worse I will print up some snazzy buisness card paper chips... at least they will look really cool.
