We have 1/8" plywood cut into shapes up to 8-3/4" tall that were supposed to sell as picture frames. Well, of course they didn't sell. Each is a crafty design with suggested details (and with an almost-die-cut center punch-out) better suited to be a Christmas ornament, Easter decoration, etc. So far we've seen a teddy bear, duck, bunny rabbit, cat, unicorn and Christmas tree. You bring a little sandpaper, paint and imagination, plus a few simple tools, and you'll dazzle everyone with your talent. You'll get at least (2) different designs in your pack of (3).

One sheet of (4) punch-outs doesn't an exciting mobile make -- but balancing (16) of these cloud-shaped cardboard pieces, which is what you get, is another story. Each 2-sided piece approx 4" x 4" is covered with funky sketches of winged animals -- polar bears, moose, seals and rabbits. Mostly medium blue and white. No wire or string included. Lots of potential included.

One of our favorite games at A.S.&S. is "Guess Why This Is Surplus." In this case you get (3) different animal erasers, each a 4-part puzzle. The assorted 2" animals are bright colors, erase well, and fit together snugly. Our best guess? Maybe their oversized faces looked too goofy. Maybe animal activists protested rubbing their noses in everyone else's mistakes. Or maybe they just manufactured a gazillion too many. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

Or singing suppositories. The pair is very magnetic, whatever they are. The 1-3/4" long oblate spheroids look like highly polished black hematites. Hold them an inch apart in your palm, toss 'em into the air and listen to them make a sound like the cyber-crickets. Or an electrocuted chicken. The manufacturer suggests keeping these mega-magnets away from computers, pacemakers, TV sets and credit cards.

Or anything else on your horizon with a very nice kids' Safari® telescope/spotting scope. CJ calls it a toy-that's-not-a-toy, which means that it's a 15X magnification, 35mm dia, 3-draw scope suitable for watching the moon, the fauna if you're in a Safari mood, or the approaching ships if you're in a Master and Commander mood. It's 7-5/8" long when closed, extends to 14" and comes with eyepiece and objective covers. We'll pick one with a red, yellow, green or blue plastic barrel.

When we were kids, we'd have figured these for perfect pea shooter targets, but we were like that. Your kid today is much more interested in pure paleontological knowledge. These are slot-together, double-sided color puzzle/models, on 1/16" thick foam core. You'll get six assorted beasties, most of them approx 5" long.

Nice, if odd, plush marionettes. Each is appropriately patterned and good sized. They're about (2) feet nose to tail, and have a goofy, gangly charm, as marionettes so often do, bless their little strings. The odd part is that the zebra and elephant both have small bodies, long legs and really, really long necks-imagine an entire zoo designed by the giraffe. Cute, though, and right at home in a child's imaginative mind.

Dull outlook? Dreary prospects? Put a little edge on things with this pair of cardboard (think movie 3-D) Prizm® glasses that have (1) clear frame and (1) with slight diffracting properties to give brightly colored pictures a pop and a semi-, sort-of, 3-D effect. Interesting for classroom demonstrations. They measure 5-3/4" across with approx 5" temples. And yes, we know how to spell prism; blame the manufacturer.
