Diving Submarine
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.

Great Blade
Jewelers have the best looking tools. This ultra-slim knife is 4-1/2" long OA, with a flat metal handle that comes in assorted colors (our choice). The short, broad blade is honed to fit into the slit in a watch case and pop the back off easily. It doesn't fold into itself, but does come in a protective vinyl sleeve for storage. Very sharp.

Grow Your Own Butterflies!!!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
More exciting than an ant colony! Prettier than tadpoles and frogs. The principle of this kit is the same as both. Buy the kit which consists of a growing/viewing chamber, food, and instructions. Send in the coupon (plus a small shipping charge) and receive (5) larvae and their food. In about (10) days the larvae will turn to chrysids and in another (7-10) days your beautifully marked butterflies will emerge from the chrysids. Truly entrancing and educational with extensive well written instructions/explanations of the phenomena you are observing. Highly recommended.

Flushlight
Not our fault, that pun. For once. The manufacturer of the Flush Light" …the only way to go" calls it the night light for sleepy-time visits. The amber LED is in a white plastic replacement flush handle that will, pardon us, light your way. It's 3-1/4" long x 1" and the on-button glows in the dark. Touch it and it shines on the target. Turns off by itself in 4-1/2 minutes, which should be long enough, really. Includes standard plastic hardware for connecting inside the tank. (But don't try to bend that rigid plastic rod, no matter what the instructions say.) Takes (1) 9-volt battery, included.
