Rigid plastic cubes, 1 cm on a side. The little ones are matriarchal, having three female surfaces and one male. They are a jumble of different colors in an assortment. Join blocks of the same size to build strings, ganglia, networks, or structures. Be careful with them though as they could too easily be lodged in the mouth of a young child! Great item for kids of the right age with proper supervision.

Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

We're talking a major improvement on bills, catalogs, and credit card offers on the porch floor. We're talking an actual transparent tadpole in the mailbox, ready to grow up in your home, like a puppy but without the chewed furniture. We'll send you the kit, with a 4-1/2" square x 3-1/2" tall acrylic box with a vented lid, spoon, 2-oz bag of food, 1-1/2-oz bag of sand, 48pp instruction booklet, and a little plastic plant for verisimilitude. You mail the enclosed postcard and the Grow-A-Frog people send you a gen-yoo-ine, actual live tadpole or froglet (depending upon the season) with see-through skin so you can watch its little inner organs grow. Much better than television.

For more "interesting" science fairs. "Secret Science," by TV science guru Steve Spengler, is a 96pp paperback with (25) science experiments that "your teacher doesn't know about." Unless, of course, he or she has this book. Fun anyway, we think. Lots of things to blow up, overflow, fly around and make a general nuisance of yourself with. Most all use ordinary household materials, and there are some very clever experiments, like extracting iron from breakfast cereal. For ages 9-12.

Aka Club Moss, Aka Dinosaur Plant. This innocent little plant will unfold into full lush green foliage when placed in a small bowl of water over night. If removed from the water it will roll up into a dead looking little brown ball. And it will perform the act over and over again. Just as it has ever since dinos roamed the earth. Fun for all!
