Boring Cards

Rarely have we seen such boring teaching aids. Aides yes, but not aids. 4" Sq. cards. The red ones have lines dividing them into 10ths, with from one to nine of the lined off bars shaded. The green ones have lines in both directions, hence are divided into 100ths. From 5 to 95 of the resulting squares are shaded, always in multiples of 5. On the yellow, the 100 squares of the green cards are each sub divided into 10 giving 1000 (yawn) parts to the whole. From 25 to 975 parts are shaded, in multiples of 25. (Snzz) If this how to teach decimals, its no wonder the kids don't learn. Turn the cards over and use the blank sides for craft projects. You get a total of (76) cards, two of each possible red, one of each possible green and yellow. The above should allow you to compute how many of each color you get.

Brass Buttons

You can tell military budgets have been cut when Russia starts selling us her uniform buttons. Our bushels of buttons are 1/2" to 1", mostly metal (brass, copper, silver), mostly Russian (with some Canadian, French, and others), all interesting and collectable. The shiny brass buttons with the stars are nice, if you don't mind a hammer and sickle. We'll pick out (10) for you, but can't promise which ones.

The American Handy Books

PC purists please move on to other items. These two books are exact reprints of 1882 and 1887 editions: “American Girls Handy Book”: How to amuse yourself and others, and “American Boys Handy Book”: What to do and how to do it. With 441 pp (Boys) and 474 pp (Girls) these books are absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma’s attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today’s world.

How Does It Work?

Why does it do that? Develop an elemental understanding of magnetism, electromagnetism, electrochemistry, radio, thermodynamics, light and optics. Simon Quellen Field's 228-page paperback, Gonzo Gizmos, Projects & Devices to Channel your Inner Geek explains processes, equipment and scientific terms -- and then, for starters, tells you things like how to make a rotary steam engine in 15 minutes from a soda can, a candle and a few scraps of rubber tubing. It's the favorite of our resident geeks -- but not for kids unless they're working with an adult. That would be a mature adult. An insured, mature adult.
