Boogie Bot
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance, to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Slime Slinger
I flung my bug into the air.
It fell to earth in sister’s hair.
Her look was cold, invectives rang.
I never should have flang that thang!
Reach out with one of these stretchy, sticky toys and touch someone, like your sister, or one of her squeamish friends. With practice, you can grab a paper from a desk several feet away. We don’t want to make extravagant claims, but even the snake’s little 1/2” long forked tongue stretches to 6” before it snaps back to its original shape. The blue snake is 15” long, and can cling to – and crawl down – a glass surface. The neon–yellow butterfly is about 2” long, and on a 10” string of the same stretchy goop, and have 3” plastic handles for better flinging. Our package of (2) ensures that you’ll have a spare after the first one is confiscated.

Make Two Dozen Paper Airplanes
Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.

Spin It 'N' Grin
A nice little glow-in-the-dark optical toy. Spin the 3-3/4" steel disc (slowly) on its dimple and watch the GITD patterns change. Best in a darkened room, like a lot of things.

UFO On A Rail
Roto-fun for the desktop. The flashing flying saucer defies gravity as it runs around and upside down on the Möbius-like chrome rails, which tilt and turn atop a 5-1/2" dia black-plastic base. Rails come off for hand-held amazement, and the base has other possibilities for DIYers. You add a "C" battery.

Splinkerball!
It's a spiky, blinking, pure fool of a happy little ball. We recommend it for those days when smooth, boring balls that don't light up just aren't enough. We'll pick a nice neon color with a couple of contrasting dual-color LEDs inside. Measures approx 2" dia. Bounce it and watch it blink, just for you.

Very Proficiently Flying
Our PC-9 rubber-band powered styro airplane boasts a big, long rubber power plant, plastic prop, and landing gear. Measures 15" nose to tail with an 18" wingspan. Takes some light assembly but, the directions say, "when you play this plane very proficiently, you will find that it can be made more wonderful flying ways." Indeed. Rated for 200 feet of flight (80% longer than the Wright brother's first flight!), but we'd avoid really windy days for the best proficiently flying.

Killer Magnet
Once upon a time, a copywriter put this little magnet next to his computer monitor and got really pretty, wavy, aurora-like effects. And then got a new monitor! Don't try this at home. Our shiny, silver-colored 1" x 1" x 1/2" neodymium magnet looks innocent, but is industrial strength, pulling something like 25 lbs with enough strength left over to erase all your credit cards. And wreak havoc with your monitor.
