THE ALLTOY PLAYALL


Child's play should not be limited by time, space, or personal finance. Consider the freedom of the ultimate toy. Download your child's favorite extrusion model from the millions of models


my mother told us stories
of grass that grew for miles
and of stones


at our universal web site. Refresh the polyperithane ink wells and watch as the toy materializes before your child's gratified eyes. Don't fret needlessly about the environment; place


that grew from the earth like grass
so heavy they were carried
away by boats


forgotten or disused Alltoys in the reconstitution cylinder. Not only will you help to reduce the extent of the fill, you'll be constantly re-stimulating your child. You'll even cut


before my brother died
i had no word for
grief


down on the cost of polyperithane! Now that's a first: a toy that saves credits.


i could not form the letters
drew
upside down
