Tub-sized Ginormo-Lizard

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

The manufacturer says he'll get "ginormous," which is just the way we like our grow-toy lizards. This sleepy-eyed rubbery guy starts out a modest 12" long, tail included, but a few days in a tub of water, pool, or large cooler gets you a three-foot, red, yellow, blue and green guy that we think looks just like the "graceful chameleon" (chameleo gracilis), except large enough to eat small Asian cities. Shrinks to a convenient pocket size when back on dry land (assuming you have large pockets and a lot of time).

Eclipse-Grade Shades

"Not a toy," they say, and they're right. These are disposable, cardboard-frame sunglasses with the all-but-opaque lenses necessary for solar viewing. As we write this, the next solar eclipse is in Brazil-pack these.

Tubs for Stuff

Originally intended for hospital use (Think Nurse Cratchit. Think cold, wet sponge baths.), these 12” x 9–1/2” x 4–1/4” deep washbasins have rounded ends and flat lips. The #5 plastic is that wonderful institutional–yellow color. But they’re indestructible, short of melting them, and they nest when not in use. Use them to store your craft supplies, the kid’s action figures, the cat’s squeeze toys. Or take up nursing.

Runs Like A Top

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Actually, it runs like an electromagnetic top, which is to say for a week or so, or however long the 9V battery lasts, so the manufacturer says. As we type, the one on the desk has been spinning for a touch over (5) hours and doesn't look tired. The black-plastic base is 3-1/2" dia x 1-1/4" high, with a secret compartment for the battery - so you can lie to people about the mysterious physics of spinning tops. The 1" tall top itself is silver and oil-can shaped.

Flame Without Fear

Imagine a lovely flickering votive candle in a frosted glass holder. Now imagine one that will never set the bedroom drapes on fire while you're having visions of sugarplums. This clever, 2-3/8" tall x 1-5/8" dia white electro-candle, with a single yellow LED, flickers like the real thing inside its 5-3/8" tall x 2-1/2" dia frosted white glass votive holder. (Or in some other appropriate candle holder that you already own.) You add a pair of "AAA" batteries and sleep like a baby.

Flexi-Sphere

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

The Green Hornet's Laser

Because the Red Hornet's laser pointers are a dime a dozen. The green ones are a serious step up in manufacturing costs -- plus this one is very impressive, with a visible green beam in the dark. Use it under the stars for astronomy classes. Point out a building's finer points during architectural tours. Amuse your audience during dull, illustrated lectures in big, dim auditoriums. The sturdy 5mW laser pointer has a push-on/push-off switch, far preferable to a momentary switch when you're using it during a long presentation. Comes with (2) "AAA" batteries and a great little black foam case to store it in. The pointer measures 6-1/2" x 1/2" dia.

Well, I'll Be Hanged

Which is what happens to swivel hooks. Because I can then swivel and turn without ever unscrewing myself from the ceiling and dropping stuff on your head, on account of I know you hate that. And I come with a buddy just like me-we're a matched set of swivel-style ceiling hooks in black-coated aluminum with 1/2" wide openings. And we come with a pair of wood screws plus a bonus set of 2-1/2" toggle bolts, in case the ceiling isn't up to doing its part.

Need A Little Lap Time?

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

This little electronic marvel is for timing your speed and counting laps on "S" scale (1:64) race cars. Think Hot Wheels®. Think Pinewood Derby. Made for Radio Shack as ZipZaps Micro RC", it uses infrared LEDs and sensors to measure speed in ft/min or mph, and records individual lap times for up to 6 laps, calculates total time, and stores the fastest lap time and speed. The main unit shows speed and time on 1-1/8" x 5/8" LCD displays, and has a red indicator light to show that the sensors are aligned. (Sensors will work best in a room that isn't over-lit). Measures (1) car at a time, and takes a total of (2) "AA"s, and (2) "AAA"s.
