WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

Blowing Smoke
For fun or science. And it's not actually smoke, but a fog created the same way they do for movies and heavy metal concerts. The Zero Blaster is a ray-gun-shaped, black-light-sensitive pistol that pumps out 2" to 4" dia smoke rings (rotating toroidal vortices, to be exact) that will, one after another, waft up to 12 feet away for hours of good, clean fun. Measures 9" long x 6-1/2" high. The Wizard Stick is a fog-producing wand, 10" long on a 4-5/8" x 2-1/4" base, and comes with an instruction manual for science experiments and special effects, including making wind tunnels and a vapor-ring blaster. Also good as a household draft-finder. Each takes (6) "AA" batteries, not included, and comes with a 3-ounce bottle of non-toxic fog juice, good for 25,000 smoke rings or a whole lot of fog. Better order an extra bottle of Super Zero Fluid, the replacement juice, just in case.

Wow! Double Wow!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This is Philip’s new favorite toy, since he blasted a rocket so high over our parking lot that he lost sight of it (the rocket, not the parking lot). The Air Burst™ Rocket system has a 26” tall, air–powered tri–pod launcher made of plastic and rigid foam. A 65” long air hose connects it to any stand–up bike pump. After a few pumps, the air pressure bursts a replaceable booster disc in the launcher and sends a 10” x 3/4” dia rocket 250 to 1000 feet into the air. Wow! The system includes the launcher, (2) rockets, and (60) boosters (two different weights). Sending rockets out of sight, even if they usually come straight back down, is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra rockets. Our each is a pack of (2). And having extra rockets is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra booster discs. Our each is another bag of (60). No bicycle pump? The 18” black Tech Team pump blew majestically through a “double bozon” booster for us! It creates up to 120 lbs of pressure while most pumps will only generate 80 psi. It fits a Schrader (American) valve. Warning: The Air Burst™ Rocket is for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision. Don’t let us catch you out there without a kid!

Radiometer
Another oldie but goodie. 5" high evacuated clear glass stand 3" in diameter at the top. A four bladed vane is balanced on a needle inside the sphere. Because opposite surfaces of the vanes are black and white, incident radiant energy is absorbed or reflected to a different degree. The result is a spinning vane. The brighter the light, the faster it spins. Simple, but compelling. Brief explanatory instruction sheet included.

Levitation Made Easy
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Nothing beats defying gravity for fun. Now you can master levitation with the Fun-Fly-Stick™, an electrostatic wand that comes with (5) foil flyers: a butterfly, (3) spheres, and an hourglass shape. Turn on the 19" long wand and watch the shapes float and dance at your command. Takes a little practice (it's levitation, for Pete's sake) but provides hours of magical fun. You add a couple "AA" batteries and a little practice guided by the 10pp instruction booklet. And if the dog eats the shapes, a full set of refills are available.

Screeching Monkey Superhero
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in superhero togs (a cape, and maybe a mask or hood, depending on his sartorial whim). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

Puff the Magic AirZooka
Mega-cool toy air cannon. Birthdays will never be the same! The instructions on the AirZooka" say it blasts a gust (ball?) of air up to 20 feet but we blew out a candle at 30 feet, and it only took us three tries. (And you can hear the near-misses as they blow past--which is the mega-cool part.) Plastic, 11" dia x 10 1/2" deep, like a bucket with a pistol grip and a fold-down sight. The (3) segments unscrew and collapse for storage between birthdays. We'll pick fluorescent blue, green, magenta or orange, and you'll need two if you want to have air wars.

Swingin’ Desk Toy
Newtonian demonstrator for science teachers. Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton’s Cradle – a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely touching balls swings into the others, and the ball at the opposite end reacts to the collision. The 11/16” dia balls in the small version (all-metal frame 6-1/2" high x 4" x 4-1/4") will collide about 30 times. The 7/8” dia balls in the large version (metal frame 5-1/4" high x 4" x 6", with a wooden base) will collide about 100 times. Awesome. Even more awesome that we paid someone to count the bounces just for you! (Unpacking note: Less awesome if you just yank it out by the suspension lines and pull a couple of balls loose. Be gentle.)

DRINKING BIRD
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A rather dumb looking 6" bird with a felt covered head and has plastic feet. Worse, he cannot get his fill of water. You buy the drinks. Fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken. Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!

Dominettes
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Itty-bitty dominos, not short, bossy women. Just the thing for traveling fun, and small enough to use on an airplane tray table, which is available for dominos now, since they're not going to serve you any food on it. This standard 28-piece game set (and you'll get 4 sets) has plastic dominos measuring 1" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick, in a plastic pouch with a weird Jolly-Roger head, and no, we don't know why.
