Make Two Dozen Paper Airplanes
Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.

Reel Nice Little Pen
Sort of brooch-like, it is. A diminutive 2-1/4" ballpoint dangles from 1-1/4" dia x 3/8" thick reel, with a steel alligator-style clip on the back. Pull the pen and it unreels on a 2-foot nylon cord. Let go and it rewinds into jewelry. You get (4) pens in assorted red, black, purple, and/or turquoise plastic. Pens have blue ink, twist action, and small, unobtrusive pocket clips.

Science Secrets
For more "interesting" science fairs. "Secret Science," by TV science guru Steve Spengler, is a 96pp paperback with (25) science experiments that "your teacher doesn't know about." Unless, of course, he or she has this book. Fun anyway, we think. Lots of things to blow up, overflow, fly around and make a general nuisance of yourself with. Most all use ordinary household materials, and there are some very clever experiments, like extracting iron from breakfast cereal. For ages 9-12.

Simple Circuit
An easy way to light up the kids' eyes! Teach them to wire a simple circuit with our basic components. The knife switch is mounted on a 1-1/2"x3" black-plastic base. The miniature plastic socket holds a standard flashlight bulb with a 14 mm dia screw base. We pack 6 volt and 3 volt round bulbs, or 1.5 volt bell-shaped bulbs, (5) to a package.(Bulbs are rated slightly higher to prevent them from burning out.) Or hook up the black plastic and metal 2" x 4-1/2" telegraph key with brass contacts and (2) terminal posts with nuts. Our blue-plastic holder for (1) "D" battery has a small tab at each end to hook a lead to, and a 1/8" square mounting hole at each corner. You add the mounting surface and the know-how. Actual bulb voltage listed in parenthesis.

Bargain Post-it Notes
Sometimes leftovers provide a great bargain. Our each is (20) 50-sheet pads of 2-3/4" x 5" Post-it® notes or (5) 50-sheet pads that are 4" x 6". They were pharma-giveaways to promote "Diastat (Diazepam Rectal Gel)" and feature an unfortunate little fire extinguisher logo. The large ones say "Stop the seizure. Fast." The small ones say "Protect What Matters." No need to thank us.
