Build Your Own Crystal Radio
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A good basic kit with everything you need to build a very simple crystal radio. This is not hi-tech hi-fi. Geared for ages eight and up, it is a complete kit with wonderfully straight forward instructions which walk the experimenter through hooking up tuning needle, crystal diode, and earphone, and experimenting to find useful antennas. (Sorry wire coil is already wound.) Excellent education, recreation and discovery device all at the same time. A simple kit with hours of fun in it.

Soil Test Kits
The budding home scientist and horticulturist will both delight in the ease with which this self contained soil test kit brings discovery. The kit measures not only ph., but also Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash content and contains material for 40 tests. Since these are the essential ingredients affecting plant nutrition, we see a science project in the making: experimental plant growth in soils with different amounts of acidity and/or nutrients. From Luster Leaf(tm), the kit is entirely self contained and includes complete instructions for use and explanations. Be careful, please, the kit does have chemicals and should not be used by young children without supervision.

Half Past Banana
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Resist the urge to just plug the electrodes into a nectarine and tell people what a sweet little clock you have. Read the few enclosed pages of background material and the explanation of the electrochemical reaction in an organic battery, and stagger your fans with your brilliance. Schylling's Fruit-Powered Clock kit also includes a 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" LCD clock/calendar, leads, a jumper wire, a stand, and complete instructions. You supply the fresh fruit. (It also works with a potato. Ain't science wonderful?) A great teaching device for 8-year-olds and up. No soldering required.

Diving Submarine
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Back in the days when technology was a good guy, kids got diving submarines that they charged with baking powder and played with in the bath tub. Now kids can have the same fun again. We have found a (gray!) submarine, about 3" long, that can dive and surface up to a dozen times with a single charge of the baking powder that you get to supply. Comes with instructions.

Rat! Run!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Better than rubber vomit. More fun than a whoppee cushion. This radio-controlled rat moves forward, turns left, spins around, stares at you with red, glowing eyes. Dark-gray plastic, he's about 13" from his pointed little nose to the point of his tail. Works up to 50 feet from the wireless hand-held controller. Requires (3) "AA" batteries, (1) 9 volt battery and a kid 8 years or older, none of which are included.

All From Foam!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
What do you get when you take several slabs of a firm foam in vivid colors, die-cut them so that hundreds of strangely shaped pieces can be punched from them, and pack them with a page of methodical, if unbelievably detailed, directions? You get a meticulously constructed vehicle, somewhere between a toy and a soft sculpture, that required no glue or paint. You get a primarily red and black fire engine with a 9" long frame, or a power shovel of mostly primary colors with 7-1/2" treads. You also get a great project for long solitary evenings -- or a LOT of adult/child bonding. Special kits for very special people.

Complete kit with everything you need to build a small electric motor.

Intruder! Intruder!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Someone has entered your room! You're not in there to catch them, but the infrared light barrier you built has sounded the alarm! This Velleman MK120 mini kit includes all the components for both the 2" x 1-1/2" transmitter and 4" x 2" receiver (sizes approximate). The transmitter and receiver can be installed up to 12-1/2 ft apart. Breaking the infrared beam between them sets off an 85 dB alarm and lights an LED. Includes instructions, a schematic, 9-volt battery holders and adapter jacks (but not the solder, soldering gun, or the 2 batteries or adapters).

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.
