Lemme Play! It's My Bat!

When it's your bat, they have to let you play. Better bring the gyroscopic Batwing Flyer". This 2-3/8" dia rubber ball has a spinning gyro center and 9-1/2" long molded rubber bat wings. Practice with it a little (it's a bit like throwing a slider) and you can throw it like a ball and watch it fly like a bat. Complete with little bat eyeballs.

Drinking Glasses

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

Literally. These clear, plastic-tubing faux-specs start in your soda, wrap around your ears and eyes, sit on your nose and end up in your mouth. You slurp and your drink zips around your face and into your yap. The last word in sophisticated beverage consumption. Made of 1/8" and 1/4" tubing, the slurp-parts detach for when you're not drinking. Some folks here believe we got this, despite the fact that it's in perfect working order, because the package says "It's suck-sational!"

Wheelie-Feet Wind-Up

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

You can't help but laugh at Larry the Slider, a green dancing fool who waves his jazzy little white-gloved hands, wiggles his head and drops into the splits when you wind him up. Push him sideways and he slides like a music-video fool. At 4" tall, with a smiley face and big yellow feet, he's definitely the funniest wind-up toy we have.

Love Meter

AKA hand boiler. An exotic bit of hand blown glass with a bulb at top and bottom connected by some zippy tubing that spirals, loops, and/or jogs. In the closed system is some colored liquid (methyl chloride) that is very light. Hold the lower bulb in you hand and as the air in the system is warmed it pushes the fluid through the loops to the upper chamber. When all the liquid is pushed out of the lower bulb, expanding air will bubble through the tubing making it appear that the liquid is boiling. WARNING! The glass is fragile and the liquid is nasty. If you drop the thing on e.g. the kitchen tile, it will eat the finish off the tile and the stain in the liquid will permanently stain the floor. So don't let kids handle this item unsupervised. About 7" tall, it is a favorite in our stores.

Insectectomy On A Gecko

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

Operate on what could be a lizard, or what could be a gecko. In either case, it's like the old Operation game, except you use tweezers to remove plastic bugs from a cute reptile's stomach. Touch the tummy and a buzzer goes off and you lose. Measures a travel-friendly 6" x 4-1/4" x 1" thick. You add a "AA" battery.

Hand Blasters

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Instant annoyance for adults and fun for kids, 8 and over. A pair of balls 13/16" in diameter, one sickly green, one mottled rose. Never mind the color. Hold one in your hand, toss the other in the air and catch it with the hand holding the first one. When they hit, they emit a loud pop like the cap in a cap gun. Blasts safely over 200 times. Which should be enough to wear out both parent and child. Made in Taiwan.

Dominettes

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

Itty-bitty dominos, not short, bossy women. Just the thing for traveling fun, and small enough to use on an airplane tray table, which is available for dominos now, since they're not going to serve you any food on it. This standard 28-piece game set (and you'll get 4 sets) has plastic dominos measuring 1" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick, in a plastic pouch with a weird Jolly-Roger head, and no, we don't know why.

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.

Van de Graaffish Fun

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

If Marty McFly had had this fun electricity kit he'd never have gone back to the future in the first place. Includes a foot-long, wand-style Van de Graaff generator (the Fun-Fly-Stick") plus a plethora of assorted plastic and foil supplies, along with a 22-page instruction book so you can bend water, levitate shapes, power a neon lamp, run an ion motor, make a Leyden jar and a lot more. All you add is a couple of "AA" batteries, because the electricity has to come from somewhere. For ages 14 and up.

Non-Monotonous Monopoly

Frankly, we're bored with the Community Chest and we've never liked Ventnor Avenue. For a nice change of pace try one of these non-monotonous Monopoly games, licensed from the folks who own the original. You pick Dinosaur Monopoly, where you take a chance on your excavation collapsing but where the rent on a pteranodon is just $8 a month, or the Night Sky Monopoly where Earth is, surprisingly, the new Park Place and where it can cost you an astronomical $100 if you leave your telescope out in the rain. Tokens are appropriate to each game, but you still pass go and you can still go to jail. Two to six players, ages 8 to adult.
