Experiments in Future Technics
Thames & Kosmos® offers Power House, an extraordinary introduction to regenerative energy sources and sustainable living. Young scientists age 12 and up use the components of the kit to build a model house and (20) other energy-related devices, learning about energy from the sun, wind, plants, and electrochemical reactions. Along the way, they cook a potato with sunlight, make fresh water from salt water, galvanize a nail and split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and much more. The 96-page, full-color manual integrates experiments and activities with an engaging story line. The kit carries The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, and is the winner of a Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine. Very, very nice.

Super-Amusing Paper Automata
These are the very best paper automata kits we've ever seen. Complex, clever, good quality, fun to assemble, work like a dream and very funny in action. A row of (4) alternately pecking chickens assembles to 4-1/2" x 4-3/4" x 2". Punch out the lightweight cardboard parts, add a little white glue, turn the little crank, and amaze your friends. A truly clever lad, or lad and dad, could even use the kits as templates and make balsa, wire and cloth versions to hand down to the next generation. Made in the UK.

Why The Blank Face?
So you can decorate it, you crafty thing. This tan-colored papier mache mask is 8-3/8" tall x 5-3/8" wide at the eyes, pretty much the size of your average human face. The side curves around so the mask is 1-3/8" deep. The material is 1/32" thick and very sturdy. Not crafty? Left unpainted, the mask has a certain spooky charm.
