WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Literally. These clear, plastic-tubing faux-specs start in your soda, wrap around your ears and eyes, sit on your nose and end up in your mouth. You slurp and your drink zips around your face and into your yap. The last word in sophisticated beverage consumption. Made of 1/8" and 1/4" tubing, the slurp-parts detach for when you're not drinking. Some folks here believe we got this, despite the fact that it's in perfect working order, because the package says "It's suck-sational!"

Enough to decorate a big ceiling, or make a really special nightgown. These (60) flat, plastic stars measure 3/4" across and glow in the dark, not unlike the real thing. Includes a pack of tiny double-sided adhesive mounts.

Our crack sound-effects-evaluation vice-president calls this cartoon-in-a-box. You get (16) wacky cartoon sounds, from gunshots and explosions to ga-boings, ah-oogas, whistles, wood-sawing, jabbers and tweets (the original tweets, from birdies.) Digitally recorded, in a 4" x 2-3/8" x 7/8" box with a 1-1/4" dia speaker. It's small enough to carry in a pocket so you can be the life of the elevator!

The original Joy Buzzer was called the Joke Buzzer (1932 U.S. patent #1845735, Soren Adams) and it replaced the more dangerous Zapper, which is lost to time, more's the pity. Our standard wind-up model is a 1-3/8" dia circle of perennial vibrating fun, with a 7/8" dia finger loop. (Watch for the solar-powered joy buzzer, still under development.)

Need a giant beastie? Just put your lips together and blow. The inflatable critters in our menagerie come in long, tall and two kinds of ugly. Your pick.

The big camo-colored velociraptor is 51" long with weighted feet and nice hooked paws for hanging over cubicle walls. They all come with a vinyl repair patch in case your beast is injured by a marauding cat.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Children under 8 yrs. can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision required. Keep uninflated balloons from children. Discard broken balloons at once.
Our plastic globe inflates like a beach ball, but is a soccer ball-ish 8-1/2" dia. That still leaves enough room for countries, capitals and major cities, plus assorted ocean currents and time zones. Perfect if you want to kick around a few geography questions with the kids. You blow it up from the North Pole. World-class price.

Born at the confluence of dinosaur puzzles and articulated models, Metasaurs are foam-board and plastic snap-together kits with movable joints and a transformerish/robotic aspect, but they still look like their dino-namesakes. The Stegotron has (142) pieces and will measure about 15” long x 10” tall x 7” when assembled. Directions are step-by-step photos, augmented by mostly-Korean text. For ages 7 and up

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
About a foot long by 1/2" dia at rest, looking much like a long fat worm, this touchable, engaging toy stretches to over 15 feet, and glows in the dark while it's at it. You get two of these fun toys for double the elongated fun. Twist them together or tie them together or make strange neon shoelaces.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Instant annoyance for adults and fun for kids, 8 and over. A pair of balls 13/16" in diameter, one sickly green, one mottled rose. Never mind the color. Hold one in your hand, toss the other in the air and catch it with the hand holding the first one. When they hit, they emit a loud pop like the cap in a cap gun. Blasts safely over 200 times. Which should be enough to wear out both parent and child. Made in Taiwan.
