Forty Seconds (+/-) Over Easy

Turn this little 40-second hourglass over three times for two-minute eggs, give or take five seconds a turn, because this is really a desk accessory and not a timer calibrated at Greenwich. And it drips gloppy glycerin because it's much more fun to watch than sand. Measures a chunky 2-3/4" tall x 1-3/4" dia. You get a set of (3), one each with blue, red and green glop.

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.

Feeling A Little Cranky?

Here's a little music box to crank. These are really cute, with a very nice sound, and they're in clear acrylic cases so you, or impressionable youngsters, can watch them work. They measure 2-1/4"x 2" x 1-1/4" with a 7/8" crank. We'll pick one that plays When You Wish upon a Star, Row, Row, Row your Boat, Brahms' Lullaby, or Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. We won't pick the one that plays the score from Die Walküre because the wheel is just enormous.

Metalpecker

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

Behold our version of the gravity-fed sliding woodpecker. Ours is a 1-3/4" standard black woodpecker, not counting his cute red plume, slowly pecking his way down a 16-1/2" tall metal rod. His super-rapid, lifelike pecking action is strangely compelling to adults, and draws belly laughs from toddlers!

Strettcchhyyy

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

About a foot long by 1/2" dia at rest, looking much like a long fat worm, this touchable, engaging toy stretches to over 15 feet, and glows in the dark while it's at it. You get two of these fun toys for double the elongated fun. Twist them together or tie them together or make strange neon shoelaces.
