Remus Play-Kit

[remember]

I remember my brother and i got treated to one of these each, to keep us quiet, during the six-hour drive down to Cornwall for our anual summer holiday. That was until i left the set on the back of my dad's brand-new Datsun Sunny parcel shelf during the entire heatwave of the summer of 1977. The set had contained wax crayons and wipe-clean boards, and the entire pack of crayons melted into a beautiful rainbow puddle over the entire shelf. I thought it was really pretty, but he was not amused and had to wait until it had cooled down enough to remove in one large sheet of wax. That was the last Remus play kit i ever got!
