D-Day Crickets

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

KLEE-klik it says when you push the back of this little metal toy with the picture of a cricket on it. Sounds something like a real cricket, and just like the brass versions that U.S. paratroopers carried on D-Day for communicating in the hedgerows around Ste. Mare Eglise. Also just like the one Sister Mary Inviolata used to coordinate precision kneeling/standing exercises during our Confirmation practice, which was only slightly more organized than D-Day. You will get (6) cricket clickers for $2.95.

Back To Basics

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

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

Hydrophobic Sand

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

Put this "Magic Sand" in water and it won't get wet. Which is weird, but true, like so much you read in this catalog. Originally developed to trap oil spills, this stuff lets you build sand castles under water. When you pour off the water, the sand is dry. Each colorful dispenser bottle holds approx 50 ml. We'll pick a pair from assorted colors, like orange, purple and hot pink.

Counterclockwiseacres

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

You get a pair of these "Rattlebacks," 3-3/4" long translucent acrylic half-ovals (like the bottom half of a submarine) that refuse to turn clockwise. Place them rounded-side-down, spin them clockwise and watch them rattle to a stop and reverse direction. The scientific explanation is that their mother, Mrs. Acrylic, was once frightened nearly to death by a cuckoo clock in the Black Forest.

Play The Piston Flute

Or the Swanee whistle. Whatever you call it, this little slide whistle (just consider it the smallest trombone in the universe) has an outsized musical history. No elevator has ever fallen in a cartoon without its accompaniment, and no jug band is complete without one, but Louis Armstrong also played one on his Hot Five recordings, and Ravel even required one in an opera score. In assorted plastic colors with a steel slide, 6-7/8" long x 1/2" dia.

Beach Bimbo

Hot-pink scuba gear, turquoise water-ski equipment, purple beach accessories - everything for a day of water sports, but sized for that over-endowed fashion doll whose name we can't use. 14-piece plastic set comes with instructions that even cover the babe's speedboat, which isn't included.

Teutonic Noise

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

This well-made plastic siren/whistle, a touch over 3/4" in diameter and a similar touch under 2" long, has a perforated metal disk that rotates in response to a silent blast from the perpetrator's lungs. This creates a high-pitched, loud and certainly distinctive siren-sound that picks up pitch in relation to the air velocity, sustains it as long as your wind holds out, and winds down quickly thereafter. A fine way to signal your arrival or departure. Probably not loud enough to collect the clan at the beach, but loud enough to get their attention in the classroom! The size makes it hard, but not impossible, to swallow, so please use care in teaching youngsters to sound like a miniature air raid siren.

Accountant In A Jar

Or in the lid, actually. Jobar's Money Machine is a clever little bank that counts your change as you put it through the slot on top, and keeps a running total up to $999.99. (That's more than the jar will hold, of course, but you could always attach the lid to a 55-gallon drum.) Measures 6-3/4" tall x 3-1/2" dia in clear plastic, and you add a pair of "AA" batteries. Counts quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies only.
