More than 700 glow in the dark shapes to decorate ceilings and walls make this classic kit a fun and educational item. Measures 2"L x 9.5"W x 2"H.

This Star Explosion kit allows children to create a universe in their own bedrooms. With over 500 glow-in-the-dark adhesive pieces to choose from (including stars of all sizes, comets, asteroids, and spiral galaxies), junior astronomers can create star displays, black-hole effects, and, with the aid of the included star map, actual constellations. There are 364 small (.25-inch to 1.5-inch) star stickers and about 200 larger (1.5-inch to 5.5-inch) plastic shapes that adhere to walls and ceilings with the putty that comes with the set (it's safe to use on most surfaces). The stickers and plastic shapes are made of Glominite, a safety-tested product that stores light. Each time the Glominite shapes are exposed to light, they recharge--so that the glowing keeps on going. --Kathryn Gustafson

Features:

  • Over 700 stars and shapes
  • It likes having your own planetarium
  • Amazing star facts
  • Ages 5 & Up

Hoberman: Sphere-- Rainbow

Hoberman: Sphere-- Rainbow Lowest new price: $25.00
List price: $34.99
Brand: Brookstone
Model: HS104

Hoberman Large Expanding Sphere Toy. The Hoberman Expanding Sphere is an award winning toy great for all ages. A sphere of color that you can throw, bounce, kick, spin, roll and suspend. It even expands from 9.5" to 30". Unique and eye-catching, these spheres inspire children to be creative and inventive. Dimensions: 10.50" L x 10.25" W x 9.75" H Weight 1.75 lbs.

The Hoberman Sphere starts small and grows larger. And vice versa. Made of rainbow-colored plastic links, the sphere expands to 30 inches in diameter and contracts to a compact 9.5 inches. There's a hypnotic fascination in making the sphere expand and contract over and over again, but if kids want to do more with their sphere, a guide (included) lists some possibilities. How about trying the ballerina spin, the flip down, or the hot potato? The sphere can also be a fashion accessory. Think spiked hat or, even better, space helmet. Another option is to hang the sphere as a mobile. A pulley system is included, and a pull of the ring will cause the sphere to contract. Release the ring for expansion. Plenty of fun, the Hoberman Sphere might get kids thinking about mechanical engineering and some folding/unfolding projects of their own. Winner of the Parents' Choice Award. --Wendy Slotboom

Features:

  • Expands from 9.5" to 30"
  • No assembly required
  • Includes 21 Cool Things To Do game sheet
  • Includes a pully that can be attached to the ceiling allowing you to open and close your sphere.
  • Great conversation piece

POOF-Slinky 0SA200 Scientific Explorer Meteor Rocket Science Kit Lowest new price: $12.99
List price: $21.99
Brand: Scientific Explorer
Model: 0SA200

The POOF-Slinky 0SA200 Scientific Explorer Meteor Rocket Science Kit will have children both young and old mixing baking soda and vinegar to create a fuel that launches their very own rocket up to 100-feet in the air. As you watch a rocket blast off, you might ask yourself "What makes it go"? The secret to rocket power can be found in the work of Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion where every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. The 17-inch Meteor Rocket is a powerful, high performance aerial toy that's easy to assemble and powered by carbon dioxide gas that forms from the chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. The high pressure-fueling module is the secret to controlling gas pressure inside the Meteor Rocket, making it so you can adjust the reaction's power to the right level for young racers or advanced land speed challengers. As you learn more, experiment with different proportions to create your own secret rocket fuel mixture. Your child will see chemistry and physics in a new light, while exploring chemical reactions, matter, energy, aerodynamics and more. This kit includes a nose cone, foam tape, (2) red plastic film, plastic bottle, (2) Balsa wood sheets, rubber stopper, silver durable, fin holder, fin template, clear tubing, clear rocket body and instructions. The Meteor Rocket is part of the exceptional series of home science kits based on the nationally recognized Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) program pioneered at UC Berkley's Lawrence Hall of Science. Scientific Explorer is the industry leader in fun, educational and activity-based science kits loved by both parents and children.

People have been fascinated by rockets since the first ones were launched in China almost a thousand years ago. Now your kids can observe the principles at work behind rocketry with the Meteor Rocket Kit from Scientific Explorer. The kit contains everything rocketeers need to build a rocket and send it shooting to heights of 100 feet. Rather than using gunpowder or liquid fuel, the Meteor is powered by baking soda and vinegar, so it's safe and can be launched again and again. A specially designed fueling module lets kids experiment to find just the right vinegar and soda mixture. The informative guide gives detailed instructions as well as information on rockets, chemistry, and suggestions for experiments. This Scientific Explorer kit is a 1999 Parents' Choice recommended toy. --Lisa Whipple
