Be The Life Of The Party
Ever been a piano man at a party with no piano? Never again! With this electronic piano necktie you can look spiffy and carry your instrument around your neck. Just finger the one-octave, non-chromatic keyboard and the notes will waft from a speaker cleverly disguised as a Windsor knot. Has a breakaway neck cord, so there's no fear of strangulation from unappreciative audience members. We provide the replaceable button-cell batteries.

Therapeutic Poetry Magnets
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Each set gives you (350) magnets in a jewel case, including both esoteric and common words, suffixes and punctuation marks. The Ghost Story (eerie, Halloween, spook…) words are Glow-in-the-Dark white on black that glow for an hour and recharge in a few seconds of light.

Box O' Bones
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Glow-in-the-dark plastic skeleton, about 1 ft. tall. That is the end result. What you get is a box of bones that you snap together to create the final product. Which is kind of fun. Or of course you can leave some or all of them disassembled to create a sense of havoc. We're not going to claim it is anatomically correct, or educational. But you do need to figure out that feet don't grow from shoulders and thigh bones do not connect to jaw bones. Maybe 5 minutes of fun!! And the finished product is one of our better little Halloween guys.

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!

Moving Sand Art
Black and white sand in a viscous colored fluid. The sand and fluid are between 5-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" high panes of glass, framed on a gimbaled stand. Flip the panel and watch the sand swirl and eddy into endlessly new pictures of dunes, drifts, mountains or moonscapes, depending on your imagination and the pattern they form. The mix of black and white creates a definite third dimension to the images. They come in assorted colored plastic frames (our choice) and are pretty neat, as these things go.

The Electric Kaleidoscope
Another San Francisco band that didn't make it? Could be, but it's also this clever motorized kaleidoscopic LED toy. Measures 10-1/2" long x 1-9/16" dia. Look inside, hold the power button and watch the light show. Turn the speed dial and watch the lights spin and change like the Fillmore during the Summer of Love. Outside is decorated in a meteor design. Comes with (3) replaceable "AAA" batteries.

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.)

Gyroscope
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
2" flywheel in well made metal frame. The trick is the same as it has been for 100 years. Wind the string through the spindle, pull it firmly to set the flywheel spinning, and perform effortless balancing magic on pencil tips, string tightropes, and the like. We tend to forget that bicycles and aircraft navigation both rely heavily on gyroscopic principles. It's never too early to tell the kids. Besides, it's fun.

Love This Lizard!
You want to touch these life-size, beautifully detailed, 3 lb lizards, don’t you? The Jumbo Monitor Lizard, found in Africa, Asia and Australia, is now is available here. He has cream-to-brown coloring and a flexible forked tongue, and is 41” long when his tail is uncurled. The Green Iguana, 3 ft long from nose to tail, takes only 2 ft of branch (or shelf) space, since his tail also has a natural looking curl. We’ve seen these guys being sold for food in Central America, and you couldn’t tell this one from the real thing--except that theirs are Blue Iguanas. Being concerned about the environment, we always prefer green.

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.
