Carnivore In A Pot
You supply the pot, we'll supply a dozen Venus Fly Trap seeds and a little sack of soil in a 4-3/8" x 2" dia plastic growing tube, plus an instruction sheet on the care and feeding of everyone's favorite meat-eating foliage. Gestation is about (14) weeks, so order early if you're planning a birthday surprise for someone.

It's A Dino Skull, You Dig?
Yes, you do dig. And when you're finished digging, chipping, and brushing away the 6" x 5" x 4" plaster/earthen block, you're rewarded with a miniature replica of a skull from a Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, or a Tyrannosaurus. (We'll pick.) When you're done, mount it on the included wooden stand with a plaque identifying it. Includes a little wood pick and brush.

Lighted Ant Farm
Because a dark ant farm might as well be two feet underground in the back yard. Direct from Uncle Milton® comes this 8" x 6-1/2" x 2" gel-filled ant colony in a clear acrylic housing with banks of LEDs so you can watch the ant farmers plant whatever it is that ant farmers plant. It glows an interesting green color, not unlike that seen on the 1972 Super Beetle. It's powered by (2) "AAA" batteries that aren't included. Neither are the ants, but you get a coupon to send to Uncle Milton himself, and the ants will then arrive by mail. (Note that ants travel by mail only to the contiguous 48 states.)

Who? Who?
Owl pellets, that's who! Or whom, actually, but owls can't say whom. No lips. A perennial favorite, these are the all-natural regurgitated balls of fur and bones that are the leftovers of the owl dining community. You'll get three rather large pellets from a barn owl, along with a small acrylic magnifier, a pair of 5" long forceps, a bone ID chart and 10pp instruction booklet explaining how to dissolve the pellets and reassemble the (usually) complete small rodent skeletons that the owl couldn't manage to digest. We also recommend going to www.kidwings.com to see a virtual dissection and learn more about these fascinating and educational little beauties.

The Larch... The Larch
Don't let them grow up not knowing a horse chestnut from buckeye. This excellent, professional-level tree identification kit includes (13) preserved sample leaf specimens in sealable plastic sleeves; a 62pp soft-cover, pocket-sized book ("Tree Finder") to help identify virtually every tree in North America; and a 16pp pamphlet for leaf identification with an answer key for the samples.

Fountain Connection
Decidedly clever little gizmo, reminiscent of our ever popular Tornado Tube. It consists of a plastic sleeve into which one screws two empty 2-liter soda bottles. Inserted into this connecting tube are two clear plastic "straws", one extending toward the bottom of each bottle. Fill one bottle 3/4 full of water, colored if you like, invert the duo, and watch water spew from the top end of the top "straw". It's all because of the vacuum created as water drains from one bottle to the other, and is a good physics demonstration item. But it looks as though the water defies gravity. Amaze everyone at your next party! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a "Tornado Tube".

Going Bananas?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Wanna start your own banana republic? Luckily, we have here the Banana Farm", a plastic terrarium complete with soil, seeds, pebbles, instructions, and a toy monkey (or possibly a lemur), all of which are necessary to grow "the world's largest herb." The terrarium is 7-3/4" x 4-1/4" X 6" tall. Plants will take 3 to 8 weeks to germinate, but can grow a foot in the first month. Careful transplanting into larger pots can, they say, result in plants 8-15 feet tall in 9 months. Careful relocation to a tropical clime, or a thermostat set high enough, might even result in bananas - but we wouldn't bet the banana farm on it.

Look! It's Leo!
This is one slick motorized solar system and planetarium from Educational Insights®. Make assembling it an educational exercise. Demonstrate how the planets circle the sun. The 4" dia sun is yellow plastic, lit with a krypton bulb. The planets are colored, reasonably proportional given their actual sizes, and marked with their symbols. They ride on black metal arms that disappear in the dark. The helpful instruction manual suggests activities, and includes a heliocentric longitude chart. Use it with the degree markings on the black-plastic base to show the positions of the planets on different dates. Replace the top half of the sun with the clear dome imprinted with labeled Northern-hemisphere constellations, and project them onto the walls and ceiling of your darkened classroom. About 9" high, with Pluto extending 15" from the center, and the other planets hanging out in their respective order. Comes with an AC adapter, but not with the (4) "C" batteries it needs. For grades 3 and up, and not for kids under three years of age. (Do you want to have to tell an E.R. nurse he ate Uranus?)
