Harry Potter’s Science Made Simple
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Care to sneak a little scientific education in with all the Hogwart’s wizardry? For ages 8 and up, the Simple Physics kit explains some basics with a few props (balls and sticks) and a binder-ready guide to experiments that appear to be spells and magic. The Astronomy kit includes a nice guide to the basics, including a constellation map, plus instructions and real lenses for constructing a simple telescope. All with appropriate Hogwarts insignia.

Eclipse-Grade Shades
"Not a toy," they say, and they're right. These are disposable, cardboard-frame sunglasses with the all-but-opaque lenses necessary for solar viewing. As we write this, the next solar eclipse is in Brazil-pack these.

Un-Bunsen Burner
So you don't have a gas jet in the garage? You don't think Margie and Ted are old enough to handle the high temperatures of a Bunsen burner? Our alcohol lamps are the answer. They burn alcohol (available at the hardware store), and are hot enough to boil water, to soften glass tubing for bending, and to generate the chemical reactions generally called for in science projects. The lamp is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" glass bowl with a wick assembly that brings the whole to a height of 4-1/2" and comes with a handy little metal lid/extinguisher.

Mini Driver!
Singer, songwriter, enchanting actress in "Good Will Hunting," "Owning Mahowny," and…what? Oh. Sorry. Not that Minnie Driver.
