More fun than a canned ham, this flip-top storage tin has a train set inside, with a plastic steam engine, tender, boxcar and caboose, as well as a 12-piece track that forms a 10" x 22" oval. Tin and train car colors may vary. You add a "AA" battery and...

It’s back. Once upon a carnival, the bamboo back scratcher was the prize every kid came home with and there wasn’t an unscratched back in America--unless the kid came home with a goldfish, which are worthless for scratching backs. Now you can...

This hard-plastic ducky is like a rubber ducky, but with a pull-back mechanism that makes it roll on its own. Who doesn’t love a pull-back duck? In authentic rubber-ducky yellow with (2) rubber wheels on the bottom, independent suspension and no...

Once upon a time, tweeting is what birds did, and also what people calling birds did. Return with us now to those trilling days of yesteryear with this little hand-held Audubon bird call. Measures 2-1/4" long with a cast-aluminum shaft inside a birch...

Or the Swanee whistle. Whatever you call it, this little slide whistle (just consider it the smallest trombone in the universe) has an outsized musical history. No elevator has ever fallen in a cartoon without its accompaniment, and no jug band is...

Replace your capotain (aka “pilgrim hat”) this year with the actual star of the show, Tom Turkey himself. He’s fuzzy and soft—and cute, not creepy—in turkey tan with big white and black eyes, a red caruncle and wattle, a...

Yo, you might look at this classic yo-yo, which measures a little over 2" dia and think, yeah, it’s a classic yo-yo—nothing special. But then you might look further and notice that it lights up! Move over, kid—let an old pro show you...

We can never seem to find just the right communication aid when planning military campaigns, signaling for help or playing with kitties. This 3” laser pointer is perfect for all that and more, and since it’s also a keychain, it’s always...

Almost everyone—OK, a good portion of the population—knows that sharks don’t have fingers. This bite-sized, very flexible and expressive shark finger puppet is big enough to fit over your (2) fingers but small enough to pose no threat...

These monsters decided to try and improve themselves through genetic manipulation experimentation and mutated into strange new forms. These new, superior monsters have tails, scales, and nails to impale. Each monster is between 1-3/4" and 2-1/4"...

is best done with the sacred mother of all novelty items, the original Whoopee Cushion. Marlon Brando owned one. Of course he did, they're both American classics, except the cushion was born in Toronto. Ours is the classic 8" version.

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,...

Newtonian demonstrator for science teachers. Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton's Cradle - a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely...

Us too, but then who doesn’t kazoo? These 5" long classic steel kazoos have 1-1/8” resonators, and come in (16) festive patterns. They come in sealed blind-box packaging so even our warehouse elves don't know which style you'll receive, and...

Behold our version of the gravity-fed sliding woodpecker. Ours is a 1-3/4" standard black woodpecker, not counting his cute red plume, slowly pecking his way down a 16-1/2" tall metal rod. His super-rapid, lifelike pecking action is strangely compelling...

We’re talking to you, rubber ducky, and all your friends, too. These assorted rubber duckies measure 2-1/4" dia x 1-3/4" tall, and come in a variety of themes, including sports (basketball, baseball, soccer and football), medical (nurse in blue...

It’s not a new channel devoted to captive animals—it’s a fun assortment of (12) plastic zoo animal figurines and (1) tree in a 9” long x 2” dia reusable, clear plastic storage tube with a rope carry handle. Animals have nice...

Technically, these balls aren’t Super Balls, just like all tissue isn’t Kleenex. But they’re super in our eyes. With cool, colorful marbleized designs, they measure approx 1-1/16” dia each, or 27mm for Canadian kids. We’ll...

No mother will approve this item, so keep quiet until it arrives. Our 2-1/4" long inflatable tongue has a pacifier-type end that you hold between your teeth. Blow into it and the rather standard-size pink rubber tongue inflates to three times normal size...

From France comes this fun mechanical plastic bird that really flies by flapping its wings. Officially known as an ornithopter, it's humbly called Tim by it's friends. It is about 8" long and has a wingspan of 16" tip to tip. Snap the wings in place,...

We love these classic wooden toys for their simplicity and deceptively life-like motion. Sticks measure 13” long with a slider handle in the middle and a 4” tall painted figurine with moveable arms and legs on top. Push the slider up, and the...

Imagine the family competitions you could have with this floating ball game. Hours of fun, minutes at a time! The wooden pipe is approx 6” long, and the 1-3/8” Styrofoam balls are yours to levitate through the magic of steady breath and...

THE American classic novelty item (even ahead of the whoopee cushion and rubber vomit, we think) is a set of chattering choppers. Auto-dentures. Invented by Eddy Goldfarb in 1949, a man who made the Toy Industry Hall of Fame ahead of Milton Bradley,...

You may well have wondered where the boneless chicken breasts in your local supermarket come from. The answer is from boneless chickens. And we have some life sized rubber models of the birds to prove it. Modeled from life, they are shown plucked and as...

Plunk your magic twanger and call yourself froggy. This 3-5/8" long steel jaw harp, or mouth harp, is technically a plucked idiophone, but don't say that in Nashville. Includes playing instructions. Pay no attention to that vibration in your head.

Yes, we have The Amazing Live Sea Monkey® aquarium kit, just like the ones from the comic books. The (9) piece ocean zoo includes brine shrimp eggs, growth food, water purifier, plus an official plastic feeding spoon, 32-page handbook, life insurance...

It’s not really a robot, but then again it’s not really a rabbit. From Remote Control Pets, this cute, 6” long, light brown and white furry bunny wiggles its pink nose and hops when a kid presses the single-button remote control...

That’s what it says on the package of our Thunder Shaker, and that’s what we’ve been doing since we busted it out. It’s a metal tube that measures 6" tall x 2" dia with a 16” long metal spring coming out of the bottom. Shake...

We had something really clever to say about this Memory Maze electronic brain teaser, but in all the commotion, we forgot. To keep our memory sharp, we should probably do more brain teaser exercises, like this 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” Memory Maze,...

No self-respecting number cruncher can afford to be seen without one of these fashion classics. We'll pick out (3) black or white vinyl pocket protectors in the traditional 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" size. Order quickly; It's only a question of time before these...

This 22" long x 8" x 4" inflatable Ibero Cruceros cruise ship is white with blue and orange accents. There’s not much more to it than that, and you know why? Because there doesn’t need to be! Great for the pool or bathtub (it’s...

LEGO® is the premiere building toy, preferred by kids and adults (AFOLs) everywhere. We're no exception, we love them too. We happened across some brand new, sealed, retired, Master Builder Academy™ 20214 Adventure Designer sets and we couldn't...

We think it’s a missed opportunity to not name a Soaring Unicorn, so we call ours Eunice. The mythical creature measures approx 3” x 3” and is attached to a tangle-free rainbow parachute that allows her to float down gently, magically,...

This excellent STEM Explorers™ Geomakers™ 3D building challenge kit/puzzle from Learning Resources® reminds us of tinkerer’s toys from days past. Allows kids to connect (58) pieces in many configurations, learning about 2D and 3D...

Forget that the 6-3/4" long body is festooned with Latin phrases and old maps. The stones/beads/glass inside the tube would make designing windows in cathedrals a snap. And hey, that's good work if you can get it. A nice gift for Rosetta window fans, and...

While everyone seems to have lost a few, American Science & Surplus has a literal surplus of them! Whether you need new ones for a game, can't craft without them or just like something shiny, we've got an amazing deal for you. You'll receive a clear,...
