Hands-Free Measuring
What a clever gadget for youngsters and oldsters with hands too shaky to measure small amounts. It's one-piece, white-plastic, approx 5" dia, with (4) short arms radiating from a center circle that can hang from a small hook in your cabinet. At the ends of the arms are a 1-tablespoon, 1-teaspoon, 1/2-teaspoon and 1/4-teaspoon. The spoons sit flat and free both of your hands for pouring. The instructions say it "can be filled while sitting on the countertop," but we think you'll be more comfortable standing.

Blunt Scissors ?
but you still shouldn't run with them. Ignore what the packages say: They're both 6-1/4" long with 2-3/4" cutting blades. One has plastic handles and "stainless plus" blades, whatever that means. The other has slightly smaller plastic handles and "stainless plus Teflon® coated" non-stick blades. Whatever the manufacturer called them, they're good little utility scissors for home, school or office and the kids won't punch holes in the table or each other with them.

Money, Honey
"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.)

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.

T-t-t-t-toothy Fun
THE American classic novelty item (even ahead of the whoopee cushion and rubber vomit, we think) is a set of chattering choppers. Auto-dentures. Invented by Eddy Goldfarb in 1949, a man who made the Toy Industry Hall of Fame ahead of Milton Bradley, these are, not to put too fine a point on it, the sine qua non of gagdom, the ne plus ultra of spring-driven frivolity. Ours are 2-1/2" dia, with a wind-up key.

Prizm Glasses
Dull outlook? Dreary prospects? Put a little edge on things with this pair of cardboard (think movie 3-D) Prizm® glasses that have (1) clear frame and (1) with slight diffracting properties to give brightly colored pictures a pop and a semi-, sort-of, 3-D effect. Interesting for classroom demonstrations. They measure 5-3/4" across with approx 5" temples. And yes, we know how to spell prism; blame the manufacturer.
