Kids love animals and bugs, and so do we, so we were happy to find these terrific sets of miniature fauna. Each animal set has (7) different but related animals. The sets include dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, jungle animals, rodents, bugs, arachnids, snakes, frogs, sea creatures and dinosaurs. Each 2" square x 6" tall clear tube has a woven handle and a representative animal on the lid. The other, smaller insect set is a similar plastic tube, but one that is round, with (4) 1-1/2" dia to 3" long creepy crawlies. They’re colorful, detailed, cute, and sized for children 3 years and older. We’ll choose (2) different animal sets, or (1) insect set for you.

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

Or singing suppositories. The pair is very magnetic, whatever they are. The 1-3/4" long oblate spheroids look like highly polished black hematites. Hold them an inch apart in your palm, toss 'em into the air and listen to them make a sound like the cyber-crickets. Or an electrocuted chicken. The manufacturer suggests keeping these mega-magnets away from computers, pacemakers, TV sets and credit cards.

36185 STARFLAKE BEADS |
When we were kids, we'd have figured these for perfect pea shooter targets, but we were like that. Your kid today is much more interested in pure paleontological knowledge.

36330 3-D DINO PUZZLE |
Nice, if odd, plush marionettes. All (3) are appropriately patterned and good sized. They're about (2) feet nose to tail, and have a goofy, gangly charm, as marionettes so often do, bless their little strings. The odd part is that the zebra and elephant both have small bodies, long legs and really, really long necks-imagine an entire zoo designed by the giraffe. Cute, though, and right at home in a child's imaginative mind.
