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.

Break Your Own Geodes

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

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.

Ga-Booooiiiiiinnngggg!

The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.
