Diving Submarine
Back in the days when technology was a good guy, kids got diving submarines that they charged with baking powder and played with in the bath tub. Now kids can have the same fun again. We have found a (gray!) submarine, about 3" long, that can dive and surface up to a dozen times with a single charge of the baking powder that you get to supply. Comes with instructions.

Arrowcopter
Shoot one of these little plastic arrow-helicopter-rotor gismos straight up with the included rubber band launcher and watch it soar as far as 300 feet! A fun outdoor toy that grows in sophistication as you learn how to adjust the arrowcopter for wind conditions and flight patterns: distance, return, circular descent etc. Our "each" contains a package of two (2). Recommended for kids over the age of 9.

Precision Hopscotch
We were SO tempted to put this in the tool section, instead of the toy section, even if it is from Ideal Toys. The 30-ft refillable chalk line reel works just like the grownup version, and it's a very attractive price, for as often as most of us use one. If anyone asks, tell them the 3-1/2" long plastic case is red and yellow so it's easy to find in your toolbox.

Water Won't Wet It!
Amaze and delight your science class! Pour this red sand into water. As you scoop it out and it breaks through the surface of the water, you can see that the sand isn't wet. The spoon is wet. Your fingers, if you used them, are wet. The sand is dry! The hydrophobic granules created with trimethylhydroxysilane are always dry. They call it Space Sand". We would, too, if we had to write trimethylhydroxysilane very often. See the back of the 2-oz pack for information about it and suggestions for experiments.

Tough Models
A construction-grade Cindy Crawford? You wish. No, just difficult (and definitely not for toddlers) models/puzzles. But if you've got a building-set whiz-bang in the back seat, these 50-piece, 3-D puzzles are demanding and rewarding to assemble, plus they come in ultra-thin packages for traveling. The highly detailed, colorful pieces punch out of a couple of 6" x 4-1/2" credit-card-weight plastic sheets but assemble to sizes ranging from 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 4-1/2". We'll pick (2) different ones from a selection of heavy construction vehicles and nasty robo-animals (think "Rhinotank" and "Wolfborg").

Boogie Bot
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance; to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Boxed Knife
We don't know which we like better -- This really nice 2-3/4" long, 10-blade folding knife, or the terrific little window-topped tin it comes in! The trim stainless-steel folding knife, we suppose, with its 1-5/8" knife blade, flat-head and Phillips-head screwdrivers, saw, punch, stitch puller, nail file, scissors, corkscrew, bottle opener, 3/8" slip ring and, powered by (3) button cells already in it, a 7/8" long light with a white LED! But that 3-1/2" X 2-1/2" X 1" bare-steel tin with the see-through hinged lid is running a very, very close second…. Great gift item.
