Just leave bread in a damp place. Or buy this stuff and make casts of solid objects, anything from faces and fingers to celery and crucifixes, with quick-setting Instamold. (We'll sell you 10 oz. of the Instamold compound, but you provide the water to mix it with.) Then fill the molds you've made with plaster, wax, or Permastone-yes, we sell Permastone too. It's an extremely strong casting medium with a clean white hue when set, waterproof and scratch resistant. Each can we sell has 1-3/4 lbs. of Permastone, to be mixed with water.

Mood Sheet

See psychedelic patterns the safe way! Press your hand on this 6" x 6" sheet of liquid crystal and leave a print of swirling colors that, like the mood ring of yore, you can use as a sign of your mood. The pattern will blend and fade in seconds as the crystals react to temperature. Tiny liquid crystals inside the film-like material react to heat by changing colors. As science, it demonstrates the way liquid crystal displays work. And you can cut it into pieces to incorporate into a science project. Or just leave it out for guests to play with when the party turns boring.

Visible People

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

A pair of kits for ages 10 and up which will be fun to assemble and great educational aids for learning anatomy. Each is a complete, 15" tall model of the human body, including skeleton, internal organs and a clear plastic skin through which they may be viewed. Of course, what you get is all the bits and pieces. So the assembler must identify the parts, paint them (optional, paint not included) and glue them together to complete the finished man or woman. Which is what provides the fun and learning. Simple well illustrated directions and a comprehensive booklet summarizing the functions of the parts and explaining the body's systems (respiratory, digestive, endocrine, etc.) are included. A long standing favorite in our stores.

Wow! Double Wow!

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

This is Philip’s new favorite toy, since he blasted a rocket so high over our parking lot that he lost sight of it (the rocket, not the parking lot). The Air Burst™ Rocket system has a 26” tall, air–powered tri–pod launcher made of plastic and rigid foam. A 65” long air hose connects it to any stand–up bike pump. After a few pumps, the air pressure bursts a replaceable booster disc in the launcher and sends a 10” x 3/4” dia rocket 250 to 1000 feet into the air. Wow! The system includes the launcher, (2) rockets, and (60) boosters (two different weights). Sending rockets out of sight, even if they usually come straight back down, is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra rockets. Our each is a pack of (2). And having extra rockets is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra booster discs. Our each is another bag of (60). No bicycle pump? The 18” black Tech Team pump blew majestically through a “double bozon” booster for us! It creates up to 120 lbs of pressure while most pumps will only generate 80 psi. It fits a Schrader (American) valve. Warning: The Air Burst™ Rocket is for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision. Don’t let us catch you out there without a kid!

Diving Submarine

Diving Submarine

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

Back in the days when technology was a good guy, kids got diving submarines that they charged with baking powder and played with in the bath tub. Now kids can have the same fun again. We have found a (gray!) submarine, about 3" long, that can dive and surface up to a dozen times with a single charge of the baking powder that you get to supply. Comes with instructions.

Shrink Plastic

Incredible stuff!! And even better than those dinky cutouts you used to make! Our each is a pack of (8) 8" x 10-1/2" shrinking plastic sheets that start clear and stay clear. Draw a design, write a message, create a sign, whatever. Cut it out, bake it in a 350° oven for about 3 minutes, and it shrinks to 45% of its original size. Problem with certain pencils and markers on the slick sheets? Try a light sanding (320-400 grit) before writing on it. (The surface will be more opaque.) What a fun way to make small errors become insignificant!

The American Handy Books

PC purists please move on to other items. These two books are exact reprints of 1882 and 1887 editions: “American Girls Handy Book”: How to amuse yourself and others, and “American Boys Handy Book”: What to do and how to do it. With 441 pp (Boys) and 474 pp (Girls) these books are absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma’s attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today’s world.
