Non-Monotonous Monopoly

Frankly, we're bored with the Community Chest and we've never liked Ventnor Avenue. For a nice change of pace try one of these non-monotonous Monopoly games, licensed from the folks who own the original. You pick Dinosaur Monopoly, where you take a chance on your excavation collapsing but where the rent on a pteranodon is just $8 a month, or the Night Sky Monopoly where Earth is, surprisingly, the new Park Place and where it can cost you an astronomical $100 if you leave your telescope out in the rain. Tokens are appropriate to each game, but you still pass go and you can still go to jail. Two to six players, ages 8 to adult.

It'll Be Like Putty In Your Hands

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

It's called Thinking Putty® because while you do whatever you want with it, your brain relaxes and opens up to all kinds of creative thinking. Need it? Yes. And you can also knead it. Or bounce it, bend it, tear it, stretch it, snap it, pop it. You pick: Magnetic Putty is dark green and has iron filings infused in it. Comes with a 1/2" cubed rare earth magnet. Glow In The Dark Putty does everything that other putty does but also, duh, glows in the dark, which makes it fun during power failures. Hypercolor Putty is heat sensitive and changes tones with temperature changes. Transparent Putty is like playing with molten glass except it's not molten. All are about 3.2 oz and come in 4" dia x 1-3/8" tins.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Warning!  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.

RADIOMETER

Another oldie but goodie. 5" high evacuated clear glass bulb mounted in a black 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.

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.

Screeching Monkey Superhero

Warning!  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.

Drinking Bird

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

You're buying the drinks and this wacky, yet debonair, bird with a top hat and plastic base (7" tall OA) can't get his fill of water. Get him started, and he dips his beak into your glass repeatedly. How? Fluid inside his glass body 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 him, not fondle him!! Manufacturer warning states this item is not intended for children 8 and under.

Original Slinky(r)

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.
