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.

Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

Cast a net over these 4" x 3-7/8" tropical fish. The fish-shaped wooden castanets are indispensable if you're a flamenco-dancing marine biologist or a Carmen Miranda fan with a taste for sand dabs. With elastic ties on their beveled tails, they open all by themselves after each great-sounding click, so piscatological flamencoing has never been easier. You get (6), painted in tropical-fishy colors.

Everyone's favorite alliterative feline, our genuine, personal-size Pink Panther" is 6-1/4" of bendable, posable rubbery fun. And he's educational too: buy a bunch to demonstrate ballet positions, wrestling moves, or six ways to tear your anterior cruciate ligament.

Our seriously oversized #2 pencil is perfect for someone taking really important notes, or anyone who's tired of misplacing pencils. Also good for that big test. Measures 14" long x a 1-1/8" octagon, with a working eraser. Really thick graphite runs about 2" into the pencil, which will be plenty since we couldn't find a pencil sharpener to fit it anyway.

Why lug a full-grown bullhorn around when you can get bullish sound (it can be heard up to 100 meters away) from a much smaller bovine blaster. This one's oxymoronically named the Mini-Mega-Phone. It's plastic, just 5-1/2" long with a 3-1/2" dia bell, 3" long fold-out handle, and a lanyard. In lively colors, so even without a lanyard, it would be hard to lose. Bonus: it plays Happy Birthday! You add (6) "AA" batteries.

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.

Not just pigs, but pigs in pork-pie hats, quite appropriately. Pigs in chartreuse and pale orange (our pick). They're actually small, 4-3/4" long, plastic piggy banks with just the coin slot, so you have to slaughter them to get your money back. (Just like the real thing.) Just squealing for craft and decorative applications, and perfect for teaching boared students the art of saving. Buy in bulk and give the whole class a lesson in basic economics.

The original Joy Buzzer was called the Joke Buzzer (1932 U.S. patent #1845735, Soren Adams) and it replaced the more dangerous Zapper, which is lost to time, more's the pity. Our standard wind-up model is a 1-3/8" dia circle of perennial vibrating fun, with a 7/8" dia finger loop. (Watch for the solar-powered joy buzzer, still under development.)
