Perpetual Motion
Spin this spindle and watch it turn in perpetuity!! Well, for a long time anyway. Inside the 5-1/2" long colored plastic spindle are magnets which are repelled by magnets in the 5" x 3" black plastic base. The variously colored spindle floats in the air above the base thus virtually free of normal friction. It also has red lights to light up its way as it spins, giving it almost a strobing effect. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

Box O' Bones
Glow-in-the-dark plastic skeleton, about 1 ft. tall. That is the end result. What you get is a box of bones that you snap together to create the final product. Which is kind of fun. Or of course you can leave some or all of them disassembled to create a sense of havoc. We're not going to claim it is anatomically correct, or educational. But you do need to figure out that feet don't grow from shoulders and thigh bones do not connect to jaw bones. Maybe 5 minutes of fun!! And the finished product is one of our better little Halloween guys.

Back To Basics
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.

Water Won't Wet It!
Amaze and delight your science class! Pour this red sand into water. As you scoop it out and it breaks through the surface of the water, you can see that the sand isn't wet. The spoon is wet. Your fingers, if you used them, are wet. The sand is dry! The hydrophobic granules created with trimethylhydroxysilane are always dry. They call it Space Sand". We would, too, if we had to write trimethylhydroxysilane very often. See the back of the 2-oz pack for information about it and suggestions for experiments.

Check Out Those Teeth!
These three-dimensional puzzles, labeled 4-D by a manufacturer who considers fine details a dimension, are fun toys for the grammar-school crowd. The soft plastic critters include a 15-piece lion fish 4" across x 3-3/8" long when assembled, a 25-piece crocodile about 5-3/4" long, and a 20-piece scorpion about 3-1/2" long. The dinosaurs are all around 4" and will have 19 to 26 pieces. We'll choose two different puzzles from our herd of styracosauri, amargasauri, acrocanthosauri, ceratosauri, pentaceratops and tyrannosauri.

Therapeutic Poetry Magnets
Anyone can write lightweight sentiments and Moon-June-Spoon verse with the standard magnetic poetry sets. It takes a special mind – and our special Word Play™ Refrigerator Magnets -- to add real interest to the old Kelvinator. Each set gives you (350) magnets in a jewel case, including both esoteric and common words, suffixes and punctuation marks. The Aliens (encounter, terrifying, creature…) and Ghost Story (eerie, Halloween, spook…) words are Glow-in-the-Dark white on black that glow for an hour and recharge in a few seconds of light. The Gross & Weird (rubbery, spider, larvae…) and Therapy (dysfunctional, sexual, delusions…) are black-on-white, and include (12) blanks and a pencil so you can write your sweetheart’s name in the appropriate space. These were pre-priced to sell in stores at $9.99 each. Our rock-bottom price lets you buy all (4) for melodramatic mixing and matching.

Orthodontic Binder Clips
Think dental office supplies. Our mini-choppers are 1-3/16" wide x 1-1/4" deep and open to a max of 5/8", before they chomp down like the spring clips they are. Your dentist isn't on your gift list? Clip them to notes that you really want to sink your teeth into. Sadly, the little hinged false teeth have a bite too tight to work as earrings unless you, well, enjoy a little pain.

A Plethora Of Pocket Models
They're full-color, punch-out models that start out looking like credit cards and end up standing up by themselves. The appeal? They're small, entertaining, dirt cheap, and there are a whole lot of them. Kidlets age 6 and up will be tied up for hours assembling and playing with these packs of (9) different pirate ships, dinosaurs or tropical fish, all approx 2" long, or the slightly smaller (approx 1-1/2" when assembled) packs of (14) transformer bots or spaceships and alien creatures.

Boogie Bot
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance; to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Screeching Monkey Superhero!
Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in superhero togs (a cape, and maybe a mask or hood, depending on his sartorial whim). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

Flexi-Sphere
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.
