Call it a lesser desk ruler at just 8" long, but it's really a three-fer addition to your home office desk, which you're probably spending a lot of time at these days. Above the ruler part are (4) 1" x 1" picture frames to hold pix of the kids at the desks across the room, and a 1-1/2" x 1" digital clock to time your Zoom sessions. Wedge-shaped for easy viewing. We'll pick one in blue or silver, because you have enough to think about these days. All things considered, we'd say don't stay home without it.

So the poster is really brand new. The animals on it are (1) to (190) million years old, and if that doesn't qualify as pre-history, may we stumble over a glyptodon in the dark. Invicta Plastics Ltd. of Leicester, England, printed this 23" x 16-1/2" poster with a colorful diorama to promote their authentic scale models of prehistoric animals. A time line across the bottom lists dates and data for a dozen of them, from the plesiosaur to the woolly mammoth, and compares their sizes to that of a pair of five-year-old children. Post it on the fridge to spark supper discussions, or in the classroom as a source of extra-credit questions for science quizzes.

Stick this magnetic organizer on the back of your locker door and you'll be the neatest and most organized, if not the fairest, which is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Measures 11'' tall x 7.5” wide and includes a mirror, a trio of elastic pen holders, a pair of pockets and a clip to hang keys from. (Try to remember not to hang your locker key from it.) Works on any ferrous surface.

Call them the Founding Replicas and display them in the classroom, whether at home or in school. The U.S. Constitution is 18-1/2" x 12-1/2" and the Bill of Rights is 15-5/8" x 13-5/8", both on realistic "antiqued vellum." These are nice replicas, but much reduced in size, the Constitution in particular will require magnification for reading. Our each includes both documents.

This piratical treasure trove is printed on genuine pretend parchment (from a process that involves skinning ersatz sheep). The 15-3/4" x 13-3/4" Treasure Map shows (56) actual lost treasure sites from Newfoundland to Bermuda. Call us when you finish looking. The 11" x 14" Pirates Creed of Ethics (the apostrophe was sunk along with the treasures), is a faux vellum document with a putatively real pirates' code from 1640 with (14) principles, many of which involve getting one's head split for infractions. Both profusely illustrated.

These are for drawing, drafting, carpentry, map-measuring, and other stuff we've forgotten. From Bazic Products®, these scale-arm compasses have easy-to-read graduation arcs in inches and metric, and will make circles up to 12” dia. Include a short #2 pencil and a safe metal tip, so students won't stick them in the desktops. We'll pick (3) in some combination of purple, green, pink and blue. Gives you something to look forward to.

Dominoes aren't just for those old guys with cigars in the park. These use Cuisenaire rods to help teach basic math concepts. You get (5) tiles, 1-5/8" x 2-1/4", for numbers 1 to 10 plus (10) transitional tiles that can be used with either set (1 to 5 or 6 to 10). Includes game rules and teacher's notes.

These (2) reproduction maps are printed on "antiqued vellum" and are both approx 15-3/4" x 14". They show, respectively, the locations of Civil War battles and the principal events in the Revolutionary War, along with chronologies at the bottom. Lots of info packed into a small space, but the kids will read them easily. You might want some glasses. Includes both maps.

We've got (2) great grid-posters for the classroom or the lab. The 18" x 24" posters have 1/2" squares, 33 x 27, with headers on the x and y axis. The all-around borders have outer-space images or dinosaurs. Why not get both?
