When I'm 64 – A Pocket Sized World

With two boys under the age of five in my house, I spend much time playing with small wooden trains, small plastic blocks, small metal cars — you get the idea. If there’s one thing guaranteed to make you feel like a giant, it’s playing extensively on the Island of Sodor, or its neighboring racetrack for a few hours every night. Always a sucker for a good info-graphic, I was completely taken with this one put out by Mattel showing the world in 1:64 scale, the scale of their Hot Wheels line. Now that’s a Great White Shark I could get my family to swim with!
