Instant annoyance for adults and fun for kids, 8 and over. A pair of balls 13/16" in diameter, one sickly green, one mottled rose. Never mind the color. Hold one in your hand, toss the other in the air and catch it with the hand holding the first one. When they hit, they emit a loud pop like the cap in a cap gun. Blasts safely over 200 times. Which should be enough to wear out both parent and child. Made in Taiwan.

2" flywheel in well made metal frame. The trick is the same as it has been for 100 years. Wind the string through the spindle, pull it firmly to set the flywheel spinning, and perform effortless balancing magic on pencil tips, string tightropes, and the like. We tend to forget that bicycles and aircraft navigation both rely heavily on gyroscopic principles. It's never too early to tell the kids. Besides, it's fun.

3804 METAL GYROSCOPE |
Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. If you only need a little soothing you may want to try the same thing in a smaller size: 2-1/8" diameter x 4-7/8" tall. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

If she loves Bozo, let her wear her heart on her sleeve, or at least on her arm. These are (4) 6" x 4" sheets of temporary Bozo tattoos, with (4) Bozo poses on each sheet, plus an extra tattoo that spells out Bozo in big red letters. Maybe she can practice by putting that one on your ex-husband. These are only for kids three and older, who know better than to nibble on Bozo's nose.

It's a standard keychain laser pointer, 2-1/2" long, 1/2" dia.

Good distance, too. Specs: Class II laser; 630-680nM; output less than 1mW. Batteries are included. (Please note that the heads may change slightly)

Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

Foster fantasy! The 4" flexible rubber animal heads are hand puppets for young children, although they are probably finger puppets for you. The realistic heads, with lots of teeth and beady eyes, include a hippo, elephant, giraffe, gorilla, tiger, cougar, camel, crocodile, snake, wolf and polar bear, plus a goofy horse who looks like he's been drinking the Budweiser(r), instead of pulling it. Maybe that explains how he got in with such a wild crowd. We'll pick out (4) different animals for you.

These 44" long inflatable plastic barbells are not recommended for children under five - but we think kids a little older, say up to 23 or 24, were made for them! Bright colors. No backvalve. No backache.

Clever little mind teaser of the travel toy variety. A black plastic case, 3-1/4" x 3-5/8" x 3/8" holds (10) different brightly colored plastic blocks or shapes. Pick one of the shapes and place it in a corner of the holder. Then try to get the others to fit in. You can start with any of the shapes and there are over (60) solutions, so the little dears won't get too frustrated. Fun for the geometrically minded. Ages 6 and up.

Spin the ribbed 7" handle of this hand-powered prop between your palms, and watch it take off. (If it lands instead of flying off into the wild blue yonder, reverse the spin!) Neon handle, bright, metallic-flaked 8" propeller, and a lift so high we imprinted it with our logo - the airborne Jarvis. It's all plastic, and won't decapitate anyone, but it's still for 10-year-olds and up.
