One of RegularDad’s coworkers went to Vietnam on a business trip and brought back two of these for our girls. They’re these neato dragonfly toys that are made in such a way that you can balance the very tip of their noses on anything. Here in this shot, we’ve got it balanced on the tip of a mechanical pencil.
That is neat…and very pretty. I think it’s interesting that these Vietnamese toys incorporate the ability to balance on anything…unusual. Perhaps the fact that the Vietnamese people are predominantly Buddhist encourages a Zen flair in every aspect of their culture, right down to toys. They look tiny and delicate too. I want one!
