Jacob's Ladder
It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

Bump Chenille?
If these were balloons, there'd be some guy in a clown suit making them into little animals -- but they're chenille (that's au courant for "pipe cleaners"). Our each is a pack of (12) 12" stems, either all red or all yellow (our choice). Their 5 mm diameter fattens to 15 mm every few inches, so if you insist on making an animal, we'd suggest a snake that just finished a four-course meal.

IQ Block
Clever little mind teaser of the travel toy variety. A black plastic case, 3-1/4" x 3-5/8" x 3/8" holds (10) different brightly colored plastic blocks or shapes. Pick one of the shapes and place it in a corner of the holder. Then try to get the others to fit in. You can start with any of the shapes and there are over (60) solutions, so the little dears won't get too frustrated. Fun for the geometrically minded. Ages 6 and up.

Magnetic Marbles
They are 5/8" inch diameter spheres with a weak but workable magnetism. They come in a nice range of mixed colors in packages of (20). Not terribly strong, but they do cling together to make wonderful and unlikely chains and stacks and stalactites and things. They look like the gumballs of our youth, and will fascinate youngsters without the corollary risk of cavities!!

Moving Sand Art
Black and white sand in a viscous colored fluid. The sand and fluid are between 5-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" high panes of glass, framed on a gimbaled stand. Flip the panel and watch the sand swirl and eddy into endlessly new pictures of dunes, drifts, mountains or moonscapes, depending on your imagination and the pattern they form. The mix of black and white creates a definite third dimension to the images. Pretty neat, as these things go.

Paint By No Numbers
We have 1/8" plywood cut into shapes up to 8-3/4" tall that were supposed to sell as picture frames. Well, of course they didn't sell. Each is a crafty design with suggested details (and with an almost-die-cut center punch-out) better suited to be a Christmas ornament, Easter decoration, etc. So far we've seen a teddy bear, duck, bunny rabbit, cat, unicorn and Christmas tree. You bring a little sandpaper, paint and imagination, plus a few simple tools, and you'll dazzle everyone with your talent. You'll get at least (2) different designs in your pack of (3).

Kid Callers
Let little Emily make her own play dates. This 7" x 9" spiral phone book has cutouts to frame 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" photos of (15) friends. Each page has double-sided tape in place to hold a photo, and space to print each name and phone number. Elemental, but the preschool crowd will like it.

3-D Dino Puzzles
3-D puzzles of assorted pterosaurs and dinosaurs in assorted hot colors. Picture these prehistoric creatures parading around the edge of a birthday cake for a small dinophile. Our each is a pack of (12) approx 2-1/2" high animals in molded plastic. Snap out the 2 or 3 flat pieces of each puzzle and fit them together. (The mold flash may be sharp. Have an emery board handy.) Minimalist, but cute.

String 'Em Up
One sheet of (4) punch-outs doesn't an exciting mobile make -- but balancing (16) of these cloud-shaped cardboard pieces, which is what you get, is another story. Each 2-sided piece approx 4" x 4" is covered with funky sketches of winged animals -- polar bears, moose, seals and rabbits. Mostly medium blue and white. No wire or string included. Lots of potential included.

Puzzling
One of our favorite games at A.S.&S. is "Guess Why This Is Surplus." In this case you get (3) different animal erasers, each a 4-part puzzle. The assorted 2" animals are bright colors, erase well, and fit together snugly. Our best guess? Maybe their oversized faces looked too goofy. Maybe animal activists protested rubbing their noses in everyone else's mistakes. Or maybe they just manufactured a gazillion too many. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
