Anyone of a certain age will remember this iconic noise maker (or pocket electronic organ as it is promoted) from the 70s & the forerunner of personal keyboards. Packed with resistors, oscillators & diodes, it's played by touching a stylus against a metal keyboard to make stylised electronic sounds that have inspired musicians like David Bowie, Pulp & The White Stripes. It was famously promoted by Rolf Harris at the end of the 60s & went on to sell over three million pieces. This re-launch is very close to the original with volume control, vibrating effects & now the ability to plug in to an MP3 player & play along with the songs. ...

This 11cm crazy mechanical creature zooms along underwater spinning randomly & bouncing off any obstacle it meets. It has to be seen in action to appreciate how amusing it really is. Certain to liven up bathtime, but equally good in a fish tank or large clear bowl. Colour may vary. Requires 1 x AA battery ...

Give a little piece of Sunshine! A whimsical notion, stylishly made reality in the form of this traditional glass jar. A solar panel in the lid collects the sun, which charges rechargeable batteries during the day. As soon as it's dark the jar illuminates magically, producing a soft & diffused candle-like glow, for up to 5 hours. One jar adds a gentle ambience to a room
- a few jars could produce a fairyland effect (think 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'!), particularly outside, as they are also waterproof. Beautiful & elegant.

Sun Print Paper is a clever innovation from America. The light-sensitive photographic paper produces pretty white-on-blue images without need for any chemicals or equipment. The object to be reproduced is laid flat on the sheet of paper in bright light. After a few minutes it is removed, & its silhouette will have appeared, dark on a light blue background. The paper is then soaked in plain tap water to fix, reverse & enhance the image, & then allowed to dry. This is something which almost everyone will be entertained by, whatever their age. There are ten A5 sheets (which can be cut before use) in a pack with instructions. ...

The biggest bubbles ever seen! You only need to casually wave this bubble wand to produce fat & wobbly bubbles: sometimes an enormous one will swell into existence; at other times you may produce several in one go. Particularly effective used outside in large, open spaces, where the lofty bubbles catch slight breezes to shoot skywards, dip towards the ground, or simply loll complacently around your head. They fascinate all ages with their unusual size, & simply watching them form out of the wand provides hours of entertainment for young children. The contraption folds down to store inside its plastic scabbard, which is also used as a handy dip tray. If you like bursting bubbles, prepare for a massive POP!

Includes:: a big 236ml tub of solution.
