I used to throw them away but for the last month or so I've been keeping them. I was asked by our local school if I'd like to come in offer a session on pinball for their "high interest" day. On high interest day the kids can choose from a number of different sessions to get a quick introduction/overview of various hobbies, jobs, etc. If I remember correctly, the sessions are 40 minutes long. I was planning on giving each kid that takes my session a used pinball.

Hopefully, I'll have enough by then (it's happening in May) to give each kid a pinball if they want one.

I hadn't thought of that...maybe I should put them in bubble wrap and they can just look at them and then when they get home they can throw them about if they like

Well, these are middle school kids so I'd like to think they wouldn't think of eating them but then again, this age group eats tide pods so maybe I should rethink it.

Perhaps the better thing to do would be to let them feel the weight of a pinball so they have an idea of how heavy they are rather than giving each kid one to break windows or choke on...

I appreciate the input.
