Slices Of Agate
Our best and prettiest-ever slices of polished agate, showing concentric rings of natural color. The slices range from 3" to 4-1/2" across and from 1/8" to 3/16" thick. We've seen samples from milky white to blue, purple, red, yellow and brown. No two alike, by definition. We'll choose. Think scientific specimens, framed art, coasters, trivets, paperweights, or skipping stones for rich kids who don't want to search the beach for flat stones.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A pair of kits for ages 10 and up which will be fun to assemble and great educational aids for learning anatomy. Each is a complete, 15" tall model of the human body, including skeleton, internal organs and a clear plastic skin through which they may be viewed. Of course, what you get is all the bits and pieces. So the assembler must identify the parts, paint them (optional, paint not included) and glue them together to complete the finished man or woman. Which is what provides the fun and learning. Simple well illustrated directions and a comprehensive booklet summarizing the functions of the parts and explaining the body's systems (respiratory, digestive, endocrine, etc.) are included. A long standing favorite in our stores.

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.

Gee! That's A Tree?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's Colorful. It's Magic. That's what the package says about this 3-1/2" tall specimen, and that's more than you can say about those big, clunky un-magical trees. Just slide two parts together, stand them up in the little tray with the magical water in it, and watch your tiny tree begin to bloom with an array of multicolor crystals after an hour. Reaches full magical bloom in 12 hours. Just the thing to watch on those days when the cable goes out.

The Itsy-Bitsy Spider…
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This particular spider is a tad larger than itsy-bitsy at approx 2-1/2" x 2", and he runs down walls instead of up water spouts (gravity-driven, you know), but otherwise he's the same guy as the nursery rhyme. You get the already-assembled Crawly Wally mechanism, plus dense foam pieces to apply to it, so if you're 10 or over you can assemble your very own wall-window-fridge-walking arachnid. Test painted walls in an inconspicuous area before using.

How To Play Bridge
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
To play bridge, first you have to build one. Here are (2) of our favorite bridge kits to choose from. The two-level bascule bridge is a 30-plus-piece wooden kit for a working model of a Strauss trunion bascule bridge—the French invention that’s seen in all the bridges over the Chicago River. The wooden swing bridge is a truss design, not unlike the one Leonardo designed in the 16th century. Both are approx 28” long x 11” high x 4” wide when complete. They’re designed to carry small wooden toy trains, but will hold most small toy cars, plastic people, whatever. Kits include glue, instructions and stickers and, while unpainted, are paintable. For ages 8 and up.
