Uke-ette
Some folks would say this miniature 4-string "wooden guitar," 15" long OA, with wooden tuning pegs, looks a lot like a ukulele. Guitar or uke, most would say it was just for decorative purposes. Party decoration, Halloween costume, preschool band, etc. The nylon strings won't deliver concert quality but, if tuned, it will still make cute music.

Pow! Pow! Pow!
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.

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.

The Happiest Hamster
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Our very favorite new pet at AS&S goes by his Japanese name, Hamasuta, and runs around and around in his translucent, 5" dia plastic ball. Or you can take the happy little hamster out and watch him scurry all over the place, redirecting when he hits obstacles, like a tiny, furry roombot without the vacuuming. He's 3-1/2" long, in authentic beige and white with little pink ears and nose. Packs an enormous amount of cute into a small furry package. You add (1) "AAA" battery.

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.

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!!

Lampless Lava
Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. If you only need a little soothing you may want to try the same thing in a smaller size: 2-1/8" diameter x 4-7/8" tall. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

Ga-Booooiiiiiinnngggg!
The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

Piano Roll-up
CJ is the resident musician at A.S.&S., and he can play this roll-up keyboard to a fare-thee-well. "It sounds great," he says, "and it doesn't get any more portable than this." About nine steps beyond nifty, this extremely cool electronic keyboard unrolls to 25-1/4" long x 5-1/4" but the 1/8"-thick rubber-membrane keyboard rolls up around the sound module to become the exact size of healthy ham and cheese sandwich. It has (26) different tones, (99) rhythms, (10) demo songs, a (3) octave range and it runs on (3) "AAA" batteries (Not included.). The business end has volume, power, function, start and stop controls, a built-in 1-3/4" speaker, headphone output and jacks for a 6VDC 300mA adapter 3.5mm plug (not included). And if you let the cat play on it, we bet you'll get Phillip Glass tunes.

Endless Time
More fun for the easily amused! A very stylish 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" clear acrylic panel, less that 1/2" thick has two flattened hourglass chambers within it. Both have non-toxic fluids and suspended in one are black grains that are heavier than the liquid. In the other are colored grains that are lighter. Flip the works from one black plastic end to the other and the grains slowly do their things, black down, colored up, over maybe a five minute period. Very soothing. We'll pick your color from neon red, orange, chartreuse and magenta.
