My preschooler came home from school with THIS, and apparently identifying mysterious plastic objects is now part of my parenting duties.
It’s hard plastic, separates in the middle, and has magnets that hold the two halves together. At first glance, I’m thinking gardening tool… but this is an urban preschool, and why does it need to come apart like some tiny secret gadget??
The longer I stare at that amber handle and those pointy ends, the less confident I am about what I’m holding. Is this part of a toy? Something painfully obvious that everyone except me recognizes?
Please tell me what my child brought home, because I was prepared for finger paintings, not an identification challenge.
