Weedlebarrow

I asked Alex to try to find one in a wheelbarrow (during the first big week of Pokemon Go), and then I asked on Facebook to the world in general.

Within just a few hours, Alex succeeded!



Nancy Wooton named it "Weedlebarrow."

Simpsons Tapped Out wheelbarrow

Part of the monorail addition (so they're here temporarily). When you visit neighbors to dump trash, you do it by tapping a wheelbarrow.

Puzzle Craft game's pig wheelbarrow

Puzzle Craft is a farming and mining game, with pattern puzzles. If you match a bunch of chickens, you get pigs. If you match a bunch of pigs, you get cows. If the pigs aren't touching each other but you still want to collect them, at some point you can obtain a wheelbarrow, used for picking up all the pigs on the screen.

Boohbah Barrow

Though the original site is gone, I've found a way for you to get there. The game is playable from a computer (maybe not from a tablet or phone) at Boobah Zone. What's below are just images from the game.

Go to Boobah Zone and let it load. Turn the sound on.

Click the box (made of changing colors and sparkles), and click until they show you the wheelbarrow. Each object out of the box is a link to a different wordless game.

You can help a guy fill it up with apples. I'm sorry the art cut off the very bottom; that's just the way they set it on the screen.

I'm back to add a follow-up:

Funny—Kai saw the picture of the sand-barrow in your blog while I was looking at it, and asked if I could put the sand back in it! It's the first nice day of Spring, so I hosed it down (we'd been using it to haul firewood!) and patched up its holes, and put the sand back in. He played out there for hours—but he's so tall now, he has to stoop down to get in there!

Jo, in Australia

I asked, "Spring starts on the first of the month and not the equinox?"

Jo wrote, "Yes, it's very odd...after growing up in England, I can never get used to it."
