Antquarium
    Antquarium is an
    elegantly curved clear
    plastic tank containing
    cool blue gel; it is
    based on a product
    developed by NASA who
    wanted to see how ants
    would cope in
    micro-gravity. The gel
    provides nutrients and
    water for the ants as
    well as being a
    tunnelling medium. The
    result is a stylish
    desk-top conversation
    piece and a fascinating
    project for the young and
    curious. Magnifying
    glasses for closer
    inspection are provided
    although you will have to
    collect your own ants!

Etch-A-Sketch
    The Etch a Sketch is one
    of the best loved classic
    toys from the 60s and
    beyond and has recently
    enjoyed a revival,
    featuring in the popular
    Toy Story 3 film. Yes of
    course we all remember
    it's almost impossible to
    draw a diagonal line or a
    curve, but somehow that
    is half the fun! With
    practice, all sorts of
    designs are possible (and
    great masterpieces have
    been achieved!). The
    horizontal and vertical
    knobs direct a continuous
    black line, allowing
    simple doodles and, with
    practice and patience,
    complex stylised
    Etch-a-Sketch designs to
    be drawn on the screen.
    And the best bit is,
    when you've had enough -
    just shake the screen to
    erase your picture! Large
    24.5cm version.

Bungee Bouncer
    Get the children doing
    something active rather
    than playing on the
    computer all day! This
    Bungee Bouncer is bound
    to inspire some energetic
    exercise and is great fun
    too. By standing on the
    rubber base the handle
    can be stretched upwards,
    and then with little
    effort the whole thing
    can be used to bounce
    around rather like a pogo
    stick. The Bungee Bouncer
    is made from soft, foam
    rubber which means that
    it is safer and much
    easier to use than a
    traditional pogo stick
    and is ideal for both
    indoor and outdoor play.
