"Money, Money, Money" by Troy Spencer for Troll Books is a good introduction to the history and sensible use of lucre, filthy and otherwise, for 7- to 11-year-olds. It's 16pp and sold for $6.95 in bookstores. It comes with a package of $100 worth of shredded U.S. currency to break their little hearts. And no, the $100 isn't all from the same bills, so tell them not to bother piecing the shreds together. (On the other hand, trying it could tie them up for a quiet month or two, so we'd let them go ahead.)

You just hate out-of-control balloons flying helter skelter all over the place, going braaaaaaaap and scaring your grandmother? But you still want to launch balloons, indoors and outdoors? You need The Mighty Balloon Rocket. You'll get a pair 3-1/8" long foam rockets on 5" straws with rubber washers for balance, plus (3) starter balloons. Includes useful folksy instructions from someone who's clearly spent many hours perfecting unmanned balloon rocket flight. Lots of little parts, so best keep it away from the munchkins.

Sunprints (or cyanotypes, or photograms) are everyone's favorite photo-sensitivity experiment, from third-graders to fine artists and graphic artists. You'll get a dozen 3-15/16" square sheets of photosensitive paper, an acrylic backing sheet and instructions. Great for classroom demonstrations, and can be used to make prints from photo negatives as well as interesting effects from opaque or translucent objects.

This clever little artist's brush holder/cleaner will keep those oil or watercolor brushes standing up (or down) straight with their little heads under water or paint thinner, clean and un-bent until you need them. A 4" dia x 2" deep aluminum cup is topped by a 6" tall U-shaped handle with a brush-holding spring across the top. Inside the cup is a mesh screen (with its own handle) for to clean the paint off and let it settle to the bottom, away from the bristles. The handle is removable for storage or travel.

Call it DIY signage or fridge magnets. Our each is (3) sheets of very cool magnetic white paper, 8-1/2" x 11", ready to paint or draw on, and thin enough to cut it to the shape you need. What'll they think of next?!?
