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.

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

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

cute, though!
