"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.)

If they write on the windows, maybe they won't write on the walls. These Crayola® Window washable markers are for budding stained glass artists, or anyone who likes to post notices or paint on glass. The nice bright colors wipe right off. (They wash off walls, too, pretty much, but we don't suggest it.) You'll get (3) markers of each color (white, blue, green and yellow), 5-1/4" long x 9/16" dia, with sharpish points and wide edges for shading.

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.

Amuse and amaze your friends with this 3-3/4" long x 3/4" wide lozenge of glow-in-the-dark acrylic (so it's not a stone; so sue us) that will only spin counter-clockwise. Try it the other way and it wobbles to a stop and reverses itself. How does it do that? Go ask a wizard. And be careful around toddlers; it's swallowable.
