No Marbles. Lots Of Water.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Give Rube Goldberg a faucet, and this set would really have turned him on. The 300-piece hydrodynamic building set (lots of Rube tubes) lets you construct 1:87-scale models of refineries, distillation facilities, water treatment plants, or anything similar. Includes gantry parts, tubing, assorted vessels, tanks and valves, a tilt scale, ball flow meter, water wheel, mini-signage, and a 12V water pump. Comes in a 17" x 11" x 3-1/4" carrying case that doubles as a leak-proof mounting platform. It has a well-written 15pp instruction book. Can you say Science Fair?

The simple but complete instructions explain voltage, current resistance etc. The kit is a giant "breadboard" and wires that can be connected to form the circuits as explained in the instructions…and all without soldering! A fabulous educational item at a fabulous surplus price!!

Beginner Bot
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
You can't start 'em too young in the competitive robotics games, we always say. This kit requires no soldering, but the result is a honey of an 8-legged lunar rover, sort of a wireless remote-control arachnid. Includes a pre-wired circuit board for the infrared remote and wiring harnesses for the motors and batteries. The case is translucent red and yellow plastic and the whole robotic shebang will measure 6" x 6" x 5" when finished. Has (8) 4-part articulated legs, and (4) switchable channels, so you can operate your bot with (3) others on the same surface. Includes a good 13pp manual, requires minimal tools for assembly and a total of (4) "AA" and (4) "AAA" batteries, which you supply. The manufacturer doesn't list an appropriate age (other than warning that 3-year-olds can eat the parts) but we think any crafty 9- to 99-year-old could handle the task.

Talking Bandages
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Okay, these bandages don't talk out loud—but they do let your boo-boos make a statement. The tasteful bacon bandages are photo reproductions of a (cooked) bacon slice. You get a box of (15) standard, 3" sterile bandages, with a bonus tiny plastic pig in every box. The crime version is a box of (25) standard 3" bandages in an authentic bright yellow "crime scene do not cross" style. Every box also includes a little plastic, Cracker-Jacky-type toy.Our adhesive, photo-reproduction quality, pickle bandages will cover all of your gruesome gherkin cuts, or give you a quirky cover-up for your own sliced finger. The (15) individually sealed bandages are 3” x 1” and they come with a bonus, 1-1/4” long, rubber pickle with a frightened look on his (it’s?) face. Whichever you stick with, you won't see it stuck on every other kid in school or at the office.

Build Your Own Crystal Radio
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A good basic kit with everything you need to build a very simple crystal radio. This is not hi-tech hi-fi. Geared for ages eight and up, it is a complete kit with wonderfully straight forward instructions which walk the experimenter through hooking up tuning needle, crystal diode, and earphone, and experimenting to find useful antennas. (Sorry wire coil is already wound.) Excellent education, recreation and discovery device all at the same time. A simple kit with hours of fun in it.

Stompin' At The Savoy
Or maybe not. Hotel managers get funny about rocket launches, but this is NASA-level fun for the backyard, or maybe a cheap motel parking lot. The Stomp Rocket™ uses no batteries, fuel, diet cola or anything else but your feet. And good stomp on the 4" X 8" "Blast Pad" can get you 200 feet of lift at speeds up to 100mph. You get (4) bright yellow plastic rockets, 9" long x 7/8" dia, with soft, round nose cones (bulbs?) for safety's sake, and a tripod gantry. Fine adjustments even allow for accuracy contests. If the neighbors have really high roofs, or you manage to achieve orbit, we've got a (2) pack of replacement rockets.

Tanks A Lot
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Well, a pair, but that's a lot in the tank biz. This very cool kit has translucent green plastic frames, pre-wired circuit boards and motor harnesses, and the result, despite the kit's misleading Titan Tank name, is TWO 5" square x 3" tall wireless remote-control tanks (with separate controllers) that fire invisible infrared bullets at each other, and reverse direction when hit. Plus, they light up and make tank noises. Each controller has (4) channels, so if you buy (2) sets of (2), everybody can play. Each tank will take (8) "AA" batteries that you'll supply, but remember that they light up and shoot rays and make noise and move around, so you're getting a lot of bang for your battery. Includes a 15pp manual and circuit boards that are already assembled, so anyone with a steady hand from, say, a nine-year-old to a WWII tank commander, should be able to assemble them.

Grow Your Own Butterflies!!!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
More exciting than an ant colony! Prettier than tadpoles and frogs. The principle of this kit is the same as both. Buy the kit which consists of a growing/viewing chamber, food, and instructions. Send in the coupon (plus a small shipping charge) and receive (5) larvae and their food. In about (10) days the larvae will turn to chrysids and in another (7-10) days your beautifully marked butterflies will emerge from the chrysids. Truly entrancing and educational with extensive well written instructions/explanations of the phenomena you are observing. Highly recommended.
