Responding to several different posts..
Carolyn was right about the wood showing up white on a regular x-ray. And screws and toothpicks and things are not that abnormal things for people to swallow..I've seen worse things in the ER..
I love Legos! Unfortunately they don't have FLL teams anywhere near me, so I was never involved in that. In fourth and fifth grade, however, my school had the technic sets that you hook up to the comp and then can program to do stuff. I learned how to all sorts of things with those (even made a few mini robots that did things like pick up paper clips), but nothing complicated. I think everyone loves Legos. One of our engineers who's in his mid-60s once made the comment at the Lego store in Dowtown Disney that "everything [he] loves to play with is in the 8 to 10 years category and made by Lego." I thought that was funny.
~Angela who always follows the directions in making Lego things, but never with K'Nex (anyone every played with those?)
