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.

91377 DBLE SAND TIMER |
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.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Put this "Magic Sand" in water and it won't get wet. Which is weird, but true, like so much you read in this catalog. Originally developed to trap oil spills, this stuff lets you build sand castles under water. When you pour off the water, the sand is dry. Each colorful dispenser bottle holds approx 50 ml. We'll pick a pair from assorted colors, like orange, purple and hot pink.

Select-a-shape lightweight, disposable, cream-colored LDPE bowls! The 16-oz bowls with tight-fitting disposable lids are 2-3/8" deep and a bit over 5" dia at the top. Look like lidded cereal bowls and were, we think, intended to be used on deli trays, but we won't make a food-safe claim. We'll suggest that they make nice paint pots and craft containers, and are cheap enough to either recycle or toss out when you're done. The shallow LDPE bowls are 1-3/8" deep, also a bit over 5" dia at the top, hold 8 oz, and are also a good shape for holding paint or bits and pieces during art class. Buy both sizes, since the lids from the deep bowls also fit the shallow ones! Serendipity? We consider it clever planning.
