We love when science and play come together, and this precision gyroscope is our latest obsession in that department. Constructed mainly out of durable plastic with rubberized tips, this Cyclone Gyroscope® was designed by TEDCO® ...

Say hello to our little friend. The Popper Blaster uses pump action to shoot the (8) included 30mm dia soft foam balls up to 25 feet! Unlike those of you who have Red Ryder BB guns, you won’t shoot your eye out! You can also stock up on ammo with a...

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...

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...

Can a toy get any cuter, even when it’s a truck? These micro metal single-pack assorted Tonka® vehicles come nestled in a plastic toolbox that measures 2” x 1” x 1-1/2”. Your random and unknown style of Tonka® truck will...

Wouldn’t it be funny if someone took a rocket-launching class and got a T- as a grade? You’ll get an A+ for mastering this Launch Rocket™ Catapult Launcher because all you need is a pair of shoes and the will to let stuff fly! Using...

First made in 1930, these Roy Toy sets of hand-cut, interlocking pine logs with wooden gables and green roof planks have been around longer than American Science & Surplus! (But just barely.) All Roy Toy building sets are interchangeable, so this...

Really—it’s OK. In fact, it’s encouraged. Squeeze these fit-in-your-palm Groovy Nee Doh® fruit squishies like your mellow depends on it. It’s fascinating how the Boss Banana, Far Out Orange and Outta Sight Strawberry look like...

No seriously—this is a really little cornhole. Made of wood, it’s a Tabletop Cornhole Game you can play at home, in the dorms, on vacation or—most satisfyingly—at work on company time. Hey, tell your boss it’s team-building!...

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...

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...

Kids love trains—don’t ask us why. We just know certain things. Here, we have a (137)-piece erector-type kit that’s mostly metal, and as colorful as the stories trains have provided for centuries. Your kid can piece it together to make...

Mini Building Blocks are leggo-ish but smaller, and this (1,475)-piece kit is of The Solar System, which is ironic on account of the solar system being so big. All the planets are here—even the one that’s not a planet anymore—in their...

It’s never too early to start thinking about Halloween, at least not around here. This is why we’ve been so obsessed lately with this Vampire Fangs False Teeth Kit from Spooktacular Creations. Includes (3) little bottles of denture glue, (16)...

Oh, it’s Bozo! Then again, who else would be on a Bozo the Clown Pen? Features a (4)- blade windmill with Bozo himself on each of the blades. Wind up the propeller and it spins so fast and efficiently it actually throws a little breeze. You can...

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...

This erector-type robot kit has (144) mostly metal pieces, and when your kid puts it together with the included tools and instructions, it’ll stand on its own. Looks really cool—kind of simplistic but also shiny and mysterious, with big red...

Compress your own air, then let this emergency air horn rip. Why pay for cans of compressed (it’s air, for Pete’s sake) that will probably be empty when you need them anyway. This 5-1/4” tall x 2-3/16” dia pump mates with a red...

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...

This goldenesque rubber chicken can talk! Actually, squawk. Known as the Shrilling Chicken, it’s 11” long, in chicken-skin goldish color, complete with goose bumps, a squish me tag and don't forget the gaping mouth. Squeeze it for hours of...

You thought we were going to say hell. Heck no, this colorful, (117)-piece erector-style helicopter set must have come down from heaven. Has (2) criss-crossing rotor blades on top, (2) rotors at the end of the tail, landing skids and a slim cockpit hat...

We’re making them right at you—so you can make something googly and goofy with them. Bags come in assorted sizes, and colors of pupil and is just as jiggly as a good googly eye should be. You already know what to do with them.

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...

Say hello to some of the coolest toys we’ve seen in a while. These lacquered wooden beauties are multi-segmented, flexible and wiggleable, and just as beautiful as they are fun to play with. You pick: the 6" tall squirrel with the (7) hinged body...

Glass marbles...all of them are glass! Yipee! 500 marbles in assorted colors. Some bags will be all the same designs, some bags will be very assorted. Here is the catch, we choose. Hey, what do you want for $25 bucks? 500 per bag, which is about 5Lbs...

For all you Surpies who like the idea of yoga but don’t want to do it yourself, your ship has come in! We have a 6" tall, all-wooden marionette push puppet that’s hinged at all the major joints, which means it’s probably good for...

You can’t cut your hair, or anything, with this switchblade-like device because when the “blade” flips out, West Side Story-like, it’s actually a comb. Measures 9” overall when the comb is out, 4-1/2” when folded...

And we say that with a history of silly that’s virtually unmatched. You slip on this pair of lens-less glasses with the tiny bucket and ball on a string attached, and try, while looking like a demented chipmunk, to swing the little ball on its cord...

Pleeeaase! We love vacations, and we never go on one without a good tic-tac-toe set. From now on, we’re traveling with this wooden Tic-Tac-Go! set emblazoned with the AS&S logo on the canvas storage bag/game “board” and featuring...

It's a magical 2-1/2" dia, radial, spiral-ish, plastic, rainbow-design, stair-walking toy that most definitely does not make the classic, zippy, jangly, metal slinkish sounds you may or may not have experienced in another toy. But this one is definitely...

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,...

Coolest science exercise toy ever! A (blue) ball is mounted on an axle inside of a (2-3/4") transparent sphere. Start the inner ball whirling with the included string (getting a great laugh out of the poorly translated instructions along the way). You...

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...

Does anyone really need to be told what a Slinky® is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it...

Spin this spindle and watch it turn in perpetuity!!  Well, for a long time anyway.  Inside the 5-1/2" long colored plastic spindle are magnets which are repelled by magnets in the 5" x 3" black plastic base.  The variously colored spindle...

Gen Xers will remember hours of fun spent with the original Like-Brite before the Millennials ruined everything. Well, it’s back and like the cereals you used to eat, it’s New and Improved, with LEDs behind the 8-3/4” x 1-1/2”...
