Fantastic Ant Farm
Ant farming has been reborn since NASA got interested in insectaries and Fascinations® started manufacturing AntWorks". What used to be a dark, earthen ant farm is now a curvilinear plastic habitat containing gel the color of a Caribbean dive site. The clear turquoise gel is the food, water and housing medium of the insects, which you may capture locally, or order via mail. We ordered ours, the better to avoid militant army or fire ants or feuding factions, and it worked out just fine. The ants dig relentlessly for weeks, and you can easily observe them constructing and connecting a maze of tunnels. It's utterly fascinating. The 6" x 5-1/2" x 1-1/4" thick space-age habitat comes with an educational booklet, simple instructions (there's practically nothing to do), the address of the ant dealer -- and a tight lid.

A Little Lightning
Despite parental advice, here's a good reason to sit in in a dark room and think small. This Plasma Storm isn't as large as a standard plasma ball, so not only is it much more affordable -- the effect is concentrated and startling. The black plastic base has a switch. Turn it on at which point the 3" dia plastic globe (think baseball size) is filled with blue stems that flare to pink, looking like dozens of electric flowers searching for a way out. Very cool. Comes with a 6-ft power cord with transformer.

Roto-Cornucopia
All together now, boys and girls, can you say BARGAIN? A bonanza assortment of (100) 1/8" shank rotary tool attachments: wheels, brushes, stones, sanding wheels, buffing pads, and sundry other stuff. All in a nice wooden box with the latch on upside down-so write "top" on the top. Is that why it's here? That, and the cardboard sleeve that tells us to heed an "importan" warning.

Bend It Like Newton
…with this clear-acrylic triangular prism, 25mm x 50mm long (1" x 1-15/16"). Perfect for light refraction lessons--especially for younger kids, since the plastic won't chip like glass will--and for showing how Sir Isaac figured out rainbows way ahead of all the other kids.

Hobby Drill
A really cool mini drill set for your mini projects! The 7-1/4" long aluminum push drill for delicate work comes with (1) 1/16" and (1) 1/32" collet, and (20) bits that fit them. The bits are #61 through #80, some so needle-thin they could add tear ducts to a fashion doll. They come in a mini case marked with the number and size of each bit in mils.

Krazy Like a Foks
They call it the "Krazy Cutter" and it's going to make your life a whole bunch easier. It's a little 2-3/8" long x 3/16" thick teardrop-shaped paper slicer with a teensy rust- and dullness-proof ceramic blade that magically cuts through paper and plastic. Perfect for clipping newsprint, cutting wrapping paper, and opening deviously sealed packaging, including the heavy stuff if you press a bit. Even CD cases. The krazy part? Won't cut your fingers or anything else. You could run it right over your hand, press down and everything, and nothing. Really. We tried it on some expendable employees. You know what this means? You can take it on airplanes, which further means that when you get to the coast you'll actually be able to open all the packages full of the stuff you sent ahead.

Bicep Pack?
Or ankle holster for a cell phone? MP3 holder? Maybe a mini-wallet & key ring for nudists. You decide. This 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1" black-nylon pouch has a see-through plastic front and a small attached ring. It's on a comfortably wide strap that doubles back on itself and closes with hook-and-loop fasteners around 3" to 5"+ diameters. You have a small dog who carries a phone? This could be just the ticket.

Butane Beauty
It's stylish, it's handy, it has a slightly menacing look to it, and-truth be told-it's a lot of fun. It's a handheld butane torch, great for everyone: in the lab, under the hood, working with circuitry, melting copper and other metals; heck, a chef can even use it to flambé the dessert. 6-1/4" tall, 3-5/8" x 2-1/4" dia base, 3-5/8" long at the top, with a textured grip, push-button start with safety, and air adjustment to control the size of the flame. Easy to fill with butane, which you'll need to do 'cause no fuel is included.

We Wuz Framed
And we did it ourselves with this little mat cutter and self-healing cutting mat. The dual-blade mat cutter has a comfy rubber handle and a removable bevel for clean 45° cuts. The blade adjusts to 9/16" deep and is 4-1/2" long OA, and replacement blades are standard stock in art supply stores. The hard rubber cutting mat is self-healing and no, we don't know how it does that. It's 11-3/4" x 8-3/4" x 1/8" thick, marked with 1/8" and 5mm increments and 1/2" squares, and lines for 45° and 60° cuts.
