BEST SELLERS

OK. black and red, but the Green Hornet wasn't all green either. Our double-rotor remote-control helicopter measures approx 6-1/2" long x 4" tall with a 2-channel infrared remote, so you can get a pair and fly them together. Best indoor or in a no-wind outdoor setting. Motion-sensor mode permits flying without the remote. USB charger included along with (3) “AA” batteries. Has LED running lights, too.

Rattlebacks are plastic semi-elliptical shapes, 3-7/8" long, that illustrate Newton's laws of motion, while mystifying kids. Set them down (the rattlebacks, not the kids) and their offset center of gravity makes them spin. Spin them in one direction and they stop and reverse themselves. You get a package of (10) in blue, along with a lesson plan and suggested activities.

Or just watch the fishes swim. These plastic models of a Peacock Bass and a Brown Trout actually swim on their own by moving their battery-operated tails back and forth. Eyes move, too. Scales are notched and textured, and both 7” x 2-1/2” swimmers have color gradations with a prismatic shimmer for that realistic fish look. You pick: the green and orange Bass or the silver and gold Trout. You supply (1) “AA” battery per fish.

Geology for those with short attention spans? The original Magic Rocks®, of course! Mix the solution in a jar of water, drop in the pebbles, and watch them grow into a forest of multi-color stalagmites. Growth starts in 10 minutes, is impressive in 30 minutes, and complete (up to 4" tall) in 2 hours. Extra credit if you can make it grow stalactites by gluing the pebbles to the bottom of a jar, then pouring the solution in and turning it upside down. Who knows? Maybe it will work. Comes with a set of marine decals to decorate the jar. Definitely not for use with living fish. For ages 10 and up.

Special for your beginner tootler. Our black or ivory ABS plastic soprano recorder (Our choice) measures 12-5/8" long and includes a plastic carrying case, cleaning rod, and a sheet of fingering instructions.

But cute. The pangolin is the most illegally trafficked animal in the world, because people think pangolin scales cure diseases. It’s worse than having a rhino horn. They're nice little critters, actually, like armadillos with better armor, and they eat bugs and curl up in a ball when threatened, like so many of us. Our pangolin is 7” long x 3” tall in hard rubber. Football coach alert: this is the perfect mascot looking for a school. “Join us in welcoming the Fighting Pangolins of Northeast Southern Idaho State Teachers' College!”

Plastic insects, lizards and arachnids might not scare you, but they have the potential to scare the bejeebers out of your mother if you put a couple in the sugar jar. You pick: the Creepy Crawleys Collection with (15) 1-1/2” long creepies, including a centipede, scorpion, beetles, roach, ant, grasshopper caterpillar and giant fly, along with tiny palm trees we don't understand; the Insect Collection with a dozen 1” to 2” critters including a dragonfly, grasshopper, fly, beetles, mantis, scorpion, ant, cockroach and a lizard, which isn't an insect but go tell it to the manufacturer; or the Spider Collection with a dozen very colorful arachnids, any of which will stand out nicely in a sugar canister.

Imagine a game app, but in wood. Measures 6” x 3-1/4” x 3/8”, like an iPhone 6-Plus, but you never have to charge it and there’s no glass to break. Has (42) colorful geometric shapes in a wooden frame, and all you have to do is take the shapes out and try to fit them back in again, which is harder than it sounds, but that’s what puzzles are for.

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. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

And yes, the whoop is twice as loud, too.

Introducing the Aeromax 2000. This update of the classic parachute toy has mesh under the canopy instead of lines, so it's tangle-free. Big 20" chute floats the little 3-1/2" tall trooper gently to the ground. In assorted colors, which we'll pick because we have really good color sense.

We not only know our pronoun cases, but we sell some of the fiercest little dragons this side of Drogo's funeral pyre. We'll pick one from our lovely assortment of molded snarling fire-breathers, all with either a wingspan of approx 6" or no wings but two heads. With highly detailed scales and teeth, these beasts come in green, orange, purple-ish, blue and gray, all in different poses of terror.

More goose-sized than chicken-sized at 3-3/4" tall x 2-3/4" max dia, this soft, translucent-rubber egg glows with color.
