Magnetic Marbles
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a marble. Not for children under 3 yrs.
They are 5/8" inch diameter spheres with a weak but workable magnetism. They come in a nice range of mixed colors in packages of (20). Not terribly strong, but they do cling together to make wonderful and unlikely chains and stacks and stalactites and things. They look like the gumballs of our youth, and will fascinate youngsters without the corollary risk of cavities!!

Moving Sand Art
Black and white sand in a viscous colored fluid. The sand and fluid are between 5-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" high panes of glass, framed on a gimbaled stand. Flip the panel and watch the sand swirl and eddy into endlessly new pictures of dunes, drifts, mountains or moonscapes, depending on your imagination and the pattern they form. The mix of black and white creates a definite third dimension to the images. They come in assorted colored plastic frames (our choice) and are pretty neat, as these things go.

Original Slinky(r)
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.

Duck! It’s A Flying Chick!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
How many chicks would a Chicken Chucker chuck if a Chicken Chucker could chuck chicks? At least the (5) 1–1/2” rubber chickens that come with it, and as many more extra hens as you chuck into it. The Chucker, a 5–3/4” long gun that shoots pullets instead of bullets, looks like a plastic water pistol, and can catapult miniature poultry up to 15 feet. The perfect little chickens look like standard rubber chickens that have been playing with Rick Moranis’ kids. Not for children under three or omnivorous pets, who might choke on a chicken bone.

Back To Basics
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

Mastertime
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's about time that hour children learned the minute details of reading a clockface. We're not sure if we can second Mastertime's megalomaniacal claim it's "the biggest breakthrough in the learning of time," but it is a smart way for 4- to 9-year olds to pass the time. Includes a brightly colored, almost-8" plastic clock face, (2) dodecahedral dice, tips for parents, and instructions for (3) different games.

Close Up
Need a combination tweezers/magnifying lens? This one wins hands down! Elegantly simple. Easy to use. The short but wide grips on the stainless steel tweezers offer better control, but still come to a fine point. The 7/8" dia acrylic lens is only 3.5X, as opposed to the 6X claimed, but 3.5 works for most jewelers, hobbyists, scientists, and mothers of sliver-impaled children. Sweet.

A Little Lightning
Despite parental advice, here's a good reason to sit in in a dark room and think small. This Plasma Storm isn't as large as a standard plasma ball, so not only is it much more affordable -- the effect is concentrated and startling. The black plastic base has a switch. Turn it on at which point the 3" dia plastic globe (think baseball size) is filled with blue stems that flare to pink, looking like dozens of electric flowers searching for a way out. Very cool. Comes with a 6-ft power cord with transformer.

Rattlesnake Eggs
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Or singing suppositories. The pair is very magnetic, whatever they are. The 1-3/4" long oblate spheroids look like highly polished black hematites. Hold them an inch apart in your palm, toss 'em into the air and listen to them make a sound like the cyber-crickets. Or an electrocuted chicken. The manufacturer suggests keeping these mega-magnets away from computers, pacemakers, TV sets and credit cards.

Big Stamps
Chunky, dense rubber stamps: the gecko’s 5-1/4” long x 3-5/8” wide x 5/8” thick; the turtle’s 5-1/4" long x 3-5/8" wide x 11/16" thick; and the dragonfly is 4-1/8" long x 3-1/4" wide x 5/8" thick. The critters are large enough to make impressive imprints when you decorate the kids’ bedrooms. Bases are black; gecko’s lime green; turtle’s purple, green and pink; dragonfly’s green and purple—not that that matters in rubber stamps, but we’re using ours as big, garish luggage tags (they’ve got a little slit perfect for a hanging strap) so we can find our little black wheelie suitcase on the carousel with all the other little black wheelie suitcases.

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.
