Defective or Unique?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a marble. Not for children under 3 yrs.
You decide when you get a bag of these clear glass marbles. They've all got inner defects-air bubbles, mostly-and some have indented veins on the surface. That just means you're getting a selection of one-of-a-kinds. Most are 3/4" dia; some are a touch larger. (15) marbles per order.

Hula Dancer
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Everyone knows A.S.&S. carries science and nature stuff. In this case, we are told the science is how she wiggles, and the nature is her faux grass skirt. A 7" maiden in a bright green grass skirt has a hidden spring at a private location. Press her on to the dashboard of your car (double sided tape included) and she will dance when you cross the railroad tracks. (Don't blame Editorial for this item, we only write up what Purchasing buys.)

Endless Time
More fun for the easily amused! A very stylish 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" clear acrylic panel, less that 1/2" thick has two flattened hourglass chambers within it. Both have non-toxic fluids and suspended in one are black grains that are heavier than the liquid. In the other are colored grains that are lighter. Flip the works from one black plastic end to the other and the grains slowly do their things, black down, colored up, over maybe a five minute period. Very soothing. We'll pick your color from neon red, orange, chartreuse and magenta.

Swinging Balls
The classic swinging balls, to amuse you on slow days in the office or physics lab, and to demonstrate Newton's Third Law. Drop one of the five hanging balls, one flies out from the other end; drop two and two fly out; drop three and it's amazing. The balls are set in a 7" x 9" x 9" high wooden frame. Isaac didn't invent these mesmerizing toys, by the way. That took Simon Prebble (whom some of you may remember as the evil Martin Chedwyn on "As the World Turns") who had an energy transference inspiration in 1967. (Where else can one learn these things?)

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.

Runs Like A Top
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Actually, it runs like an electromagnetic top, which is to say for a week or so, or however long the 9V battery lasts, so the manufacturer says. As we type, the one on the desk has been spinning for a touch over (5) hours and doesn't look tired. The black-plastic base is 3-1/2" dia x 1-1/4" high, with a secret compartment for the battery - so you can lie to people about the mysterious physics of spinning tops. The 1" tall top itself is silver and oil-can shaped.

Flexi-Sphere
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

One-Way Wizard Stone
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Amuse and amaze your friends with this 3-3/4" long x 3/4" wide lozenge of glow-in-the-dark acrylic (so it's not a stone; so sue us) that will only spin counter-clockwise. Try it the other way and it wobbles to a stop and reverses itself. How does it do that? Go ask a wizard. And be careful around toddlers; it's swallowable.

Deja Who?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
What a concept! A 2" x 2" x 2" cube with a clever mechanism inside and each of its (6) sides made up of (9) brightly colored plastic cubes. Twist and turn the cube(s) to mix up the colors, then do it again to return each side to a single, solid color. Hmm. Colors of the movable cubes are white, blue, green, yellow, red - and pink!
