Everyone knows A.S.&S. carries science and nature stuff. In this case, we are told the science is how she wiggles, and the nature is her faux grass skirt. A 7" maiden in a bright green grass skirt has a hidden spring at a private location. Press her on to the dashboard of your car (double sided tape included) and she will dance when you cross the railroad tracks. (Don't blame Editorial for this item, we only write up what Purchasing buys.)

Why does Roger always get the credit for the skull and crossbones pirate flag? We feel it is time to share and have elected Barry to the post because he just walked by the vast editorial department here at A.S.&S. (AKA "my desk") Our Jolly Barry flag is 3ft x 5 ft., black polyester with a reinforced edge containing grommets for flying. It has the traditional skull and crossbones in white with the added fillip that the skull is wearing an eye patch! Sail Away!!

The budding home scientist and horticulturist will both delight in the ease with which this self contained soil test kit brings discovery. The kit measures not only ph., but also Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash content and contains material for 40 tests. Since these are the essential ingredients affecting plant nutrition, we see a science project in the making: experimental plant growth in soils with different amounts of acidity and/or nutrients. From Luster Leaf(tm), the kit is entirely self contained and includes complete instructions for use and explanations. Be careful, please, the kit does have chemicals and should not be used by young children without supervision.

A great toy that demonstrates the basics of rocketry. A plastic rocket is partially filled with water, air is pumped in with a little hand pump, and upon the release, the air pressure pushes the water out the back, propelling the rocket. About 1-1/2" dia x 6" long. Flight tests suggest loft and distances of about 50 feet each are achievable, when the right water/air mix is found. However, since operations lost their rocket on the roof, testing was terminated before final results could be obtained. Clearly, these are good fun for all ages. It has everything you need... Just add water!!

Very pretty. Very graceful. These clear-glass 2.2 volt, .25 amp bulbs are a wavy, flame shape 1-1/2" tall and 5/8" dia at the widest point. The base is candelabra size. They work fine on 3 volts (2"AA") at .32 amps. For a special look, hook (50) up in series and use them at 120 VAC. Order extras, because we don't think you'll find little pretties like these at your local hardware store.

Four fine funnels, a fantastic fare. Sturdy plastic, the biggest is 4-1/8" dia at the mouth, with a 1/2" dia spout; the smallest has a 1-7/8" dia mouth, 1/4" spout. The other (2) are in between. Frankly, it's freaky fun flowing fluids from four funnels!

Triops: way cooler, bigger and more active than sea monkeys. They're dinosaur shrimp, leftovers from some 200 million years ago. Don't eat them; just grow them and enjoy this bizarre & ancient display of nature! You get a kidney-shaped tank 2-3/8" tall x 8-1/2"x 5-3/4", a very informative instruction booklet, and a packet full of triops eggs and food. Add the eggs to water and watch them go; they'll hatch in a day and reach 1" to 2" or more in a few weeks. Really easy to do, and really cool too.

Ant farming has been reborn since NASA got interested in insectaries and Fascinations® started manufacturing AntWorks". What used to be a dark, earthen ant farm is now a curvilinear plastic habitat containing gel the color of a Caribbean dive site. The clear turquoise gel is the food, water and housing medium of the insects, which you may capture locally, or order via mail. We ordered ours, the better to avoid militant army or fire ants or feuding factions, and it worked out just fine. The ants dig relentlessly for weeks, and you can easily observe them constructing and connecting a maze of tunnels. It's utterly fascinating. The 6" x 5-1/2" x 1-1/4" thick space-age habitat comes with an educational booklet, simple instructions (there's practically nothing to do), the address of the ant dealer -- and a tight lid.

Mega-cool toy air cannon. Birthdays will never be the same! The instructions on the AirZooka" say it blasts a gust (ball?) of air up to 20 feet but we blew out a candle at 30 feet, and it only took us three tries. (And you can hear the near-misses as they blow past--which is the mega-cool part.) Plastic, 11" dia x 10 1/2" deep, like a bucket with a pistol grip and a fold-down sight. The (3) segments unscrew and collapse for storage between birthdays. We'll pick fluorescent blue, green, magenta or orange, and you'll need two if you want to have air wars.
