WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Instant annoyance for adults and fun for kids, 8 and over. A pair of balls 13/16" in diameter, one sickly green, one mottled rose. Never mind the color. Hold one in your hand, toss the other in the air and catch it with the hand holding the first one. When they hit, they emit a loud pop like the cap in a cap gun. Blasts safely over 200 times. Which should be enough to wear out both parent and child. Made in Taiwan.

Scratch off the gold dots to check the answers. It's an interesting twist for grammar-school age kids or adults who like to play games.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Kids going through a collecting stage will love these plastic discs, each a little over 1-1/2" dia. They have a picture (flora, fauna, or other) printed on one side and a bit of information about whatever it is on the reverse side. Each disc has (8) small cuts around the edge, so it will interlock with other discs. Use them like flash cards, build great structures, create cog games, and learn about stuff at the same time.

You can start with our single aluminum tuning fork, 2-tined and 7-1/2" long. It vibrates at 256 hz, and is labeled "C". Or you can order the set that has (8) forks and a mallet with a rubber-tipped plastic head. The forks are labeled low-C to high-C and come in a fitted, latched wooden box. Unfortunately, C.J., who has perfect pitch, tells us that his pitch is more perfect than most of the tuning forks. He also says you can file the tips, tuning them to an electronic keyboard until they're perfect - and we think there's a certain cachet to telling people you tuned the forks yourself. But they are perfect, if you're using them for things like teaching principles of sound or driving the chihuahua crazy.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Plastic siren/whistle made in West Germany. A touch over 3/4" in diameter and a similar touch under 2" long. that makes it hard, but not impossible, to swallow, so please use care in teaching youngsters to sound like a miniature air raid siren. The well-made whistle has a perforated metal disk that rotates in response to a silent blast from the perpetrator's, lungs. This creates a high-pitched reasonably loud and certainly distinctive siren-sound that picks up pitch in relation to the air velocity, sustains it as long as your wind holds out, and winds down quickly thereafter. A fine way to signal your arrival or departure. Probably not loud enough to collect the clan at the beach, but it should get their attention in the classroom!!

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
More exciting than an ant colony! Prettier than tadpoles and frogs. The principle of this kit is the same as both. Buy the kit which consists of a growing/viewing chamber, food, and instructions. Send in the coupon (plus a small shipping charge) and receive (5) larvae and their food. In about (10) days the larvae will turn to chrysids and in another (7-10) days your beautifully marked butterflies will emerge from the chrysids. Truly entrancing and educational with extensive well written instructions/explanations of the phenomena you are observing. Highly recommended.

Wonderful little book jammed with elaborate colored drawings that tells the beginner a little about everything to do with a microscope. And all in a mere 48 pages! From data on the history and types of microscopes, to introductions and samples and how to prepare them, (from tissues and insects to crystals) to ideas for experiments and lists of simple equipment needs, and how to build them at home, this book is a veritable cornucopia of information. If you are thinking of getting a microscope, we strongly recommend "The World of the Microscope" as a great stimulus for the novice user. It won't answer heavy duty scientific questions. But it will keep the beginner busy, challenged and entertained for days and weeks! By Chris Oxlade and Corrine Stockley. Paperback, 7-3/4" x 9-3/4". One of the Usborne science and experiments series of books.
