I thought about that Debbie and may have to resort to that. If I can't find it in the states I will try to to get a hold of Bisi.cat and see if she will send more for several of us. It's the big guy's favorite toy and now R&R have discovered it and they are death to most toys. Rumor has broken anything with a string in two so I'm tryng to keep the ribbon wand away from her.
