Boogie Bot
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance, to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Swinging Balls
The classic swinging balls, to amuse you on slow days in the office or physics lab, and to demonstrate Newton's Third Law. Drop one of the five hanging balls, one flies out from the other end; drop two and two fly out; drop three and it's amazing. The balls are set in a 7" x 9" x 9" high wooden frame. Isaac didn't invent these mesmerizing toys, by the way. That took Simon Prebble (whom some of you may remember as the evil Martin Chedwyn on "As the World Turns") who had an energy transference inspiration in 1967. (Where else can one learn these things?)

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.

Self-Sculpting Sand
A real desktop mesmerizer. This 7"x 5" moving sand sculpture creates endless sand-dune vistas, and can be so easily flipped to start over that you need never go back to actually working. The sand is so fine it's nearly liquid, and comes in varying shades, plus a little glitter. Black base and frame. We'll pick sand in shades of orange, purple, green or red for you.

Magic 6-Ball
Very much like the traditional magic 8-ball, but in dark green or blue, like the six, and unnumbered. The Mystical Orb provides (20) answers to yes/no questions, which should solve all of those pesky life-choice decisions. Doubles as a time-saving management tool.

Original Slinky(r)
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.

Cinema Vérité
Hey, Coppoletta! Add realism to your home flicks with a Hollywood director's slate board. This 8" x 7" version is wood, painted black with white lettering. The traditional striped arm on top cracks down on the palimpsest where you chalk in the Production, Director, Camera, Date, Scene and Take. Very Vérité

Flexi-Sphere
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

Five Easy Pieces…
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
…of the evolutionary puzzle. Call it a condensed version. Our paleontological play set of small plastic models features the little legged fish prototype that first crawled out of the ooze, a chimp, a Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon man, and Charles Darwin. They range in size from 1-5/8" long to 3-3/8" tall. Darwin's the tall one.

Building Das Boot?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Finish it off with das periscope. Perfect for a blue-plastic submarine, our blue-plastic periscope will let you see the destroyers following your bubbles, or, if you're stuck on land, let you look around corners. Our visual aid is 1-3/8" dia, telescopes from 14" long to 10", has a clutch to secure the length and a 1" dia port to look through. Handy for reverse snorkeling, too. (Just think about it, OK?)
