Light Activity
Kits to create traditional wooden toys with a very nontraditional twist. A solar cell and DC motor on each one adds a little movement. The windmill turns without a breeze. The model helicopter won’t fly, but its little rotors will turn as long as there is light. The model biplane won’t fly, either, but it does have a prop that spins. The finished wooden models are approx 11" x 8", and are snap and glue assembly. Glue, along with blue, red and yellow paint, is included.

The Big Little Artist's Set
Excellent starter or traveler's acrylic paint set. Made in the UK, the (28) pieces pack inside a 15" x 10-3/8" x 2-1/8" wooden carrying case and include: (12) 0.4 oz tubes of nontoxic acrylic paints (white, lemon-yellow, yellow-ochre, scarlet, violet, blue, green, sap green, burnt sienna, burnt umber, black, and red); (2) #6 and (2) #2 brushes; mixing tray; art gum eraser; pencil sharpener; various pencils; and a palette knife and spatula.

Large Rock Polishing Kit
Budding lapidarians will lap up this rock polishing kit which is so complete it even contains some rocks. The polishing tumbler has a (3) lb. ((1) qt.) fifteen sided rubber barrel and is driven by a 115 VAC motor. Overall dimensions are 6" x 6" x 7-1/2" high. In addition to the tumbler, the kit includes an assortment of jewelry findings and a detailed manual giving you easy to follow instructions. But don't think of it only as useful for jewelry making.
