Rainbows All Over The Room
From Sun Catcher®, a transparent prismatic sheet, roughly 4-1/4" x 5-1/4", inside an oval frame, roughly 10-3/4" x 8-1/4" with a variety of motifs. We'll pick (1) of (3) diffraction patterns inside (1) of (6) heavy cardboard frames: undersea critters, fairyland, jungle life, a wizard, dolphins or a garden with butterflies and a hummingbird. It will "transform light into an explosion of multiple hues," and who doesn't like that? Comes with a suction cup to mount in your window, and if you're a minimalist you could cut the cool prism out of its frame and we wouldn't tell a soul.

Pocket Kite
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Because you never know when the wind's gonna pick up. This rainbow-colored, strut-less, dual-control stunt kite measures 44-7/8" x 19-11/16" when in flight, but folds up into its own 6" x 9" drawstring pouch. Includes a pair of round handles/reels and line. Flying it, we're assured, is a breeze.

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?)

Portable Moose Head
Turn any hotel, dorm or family room into a northwoods retreat with our convenient inflatable moose head, authentically colored and complete with inflatable horns and big moose ears.

Make Two Dozen Paper Airplanes
Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.

Prizm Glasses
Dull outlook? Dreary prospects? Put a little edge on things with this pair of cardboard (think movie 3-D) Prizm® glasses that have (1) clear frame and (1) with slight diffracting properties to give brightly colored pictures a pop and a semi-, sort-of, 3-D effect. Interesting for classroom demonstrations. They measure 5-3/4" across with approx 5" temples. And yes, we know how to spell prism; blame the manufacturer.

Front!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Time was, these service bells were on every teacher's desk and the front desk of every hotel in the world. They're still a classically beautiful design, and they'll still bring folks running when you tap the little plunger on top. The chrome bell sits on a black enameled steel base and the whole thing is 2-3/4" dia x 1-7/8" tall.

Jacob's Ladder
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

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

Back To Basics
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

SPY SCOPE
This very deceptive little pocket-sized 8X spy telescope has a pocket clip and measures just under 6" long x 5/8" dia. Nobody will ever know you're an undercover agent unless they see the white "SPY SCOPE" lettering on the side, but you can cover it up with your special spy's electrical tape. You can also pull the barrel out and use it as a 20X microscope if you choose to accept this assignment.
