Selaginella Lepidophylla
Aka Club Moss, Aka Dinosaur Plant. This innocent little plant will unfold into full lush green foliage when placed in a small bowl of water over night. If removed from the water it will roll up into a dead looking little brown ball. And it will perform the act over and over again. Just as it has ever since dinos roamed the earth. Fun for all!

(It also works with a potato. Ain't science wonderful?) A great teaching device for 8-year-olds and up. No soldering required.

When Pigs Fly...
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
everybody watches in awe. This pig, maybe not quite awe, since it doesn't actually get lift-off. But the unpainted wooden version of our popular flying-pig paper automaton is fun to build and even more fun to watch it flap its porcine wings as you turn the side crank. Roughly 9" x 9" when assembled. It's made of pre-cut, 1/4" and 1/8" wood, and slides together, but could be permanently glued. For ages 8 and up, but a thoughtful dad could thrill younger tykes with it.
