Electric Motor and Magnet Kits
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A trio of the best science education kits we have seen dealing with electricity, magnetism, motors and generators. The 44 page instruction booklets are educational and complete; state problem, approach and explain what is happening for a series of projects of graded difficulty. The Motor/Generator kit includes several introductory experiments on magnetism as well as six complete motor generator projects. The Electromagnet kit provides experiments including the building of an electromagnet, a doorbell chime, a telegraph, a relay and an electric catapult. The Levitation Set experiments with magnetic fields, gravity, and equilibrium; plus everything you need to build a magnetic levitation train! All are complete except for batteries. Strongly recommended for their quality, the accuracy of their science and the interest they will sustain. Ages 10-18.

Diving Submarine
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

Tough Models
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

Build-A-Dozer Kit
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
From Kustom Metal", this is a very nice erect-a-set-like kit with steel structural members plus rubber treads or a few plastic parts like wheels and accessories. We'll choose a clever Bulldozer, Excavator, Crane or Harvester, or a cool little Dragster or Racer, for you. The finished vehicle will be 5" or 6" long and proportionately high. Kits have between 130-190 pieces and include a small box wrench and screwdriver along with good instructions, although younger or impatient kiddles might need some help. Clever kids could also find other things to construct from the parts. Small parts and pieces, so keep it away from kids three and under.
