view | 3-D Mirascope
Make Your Own Holograms! Of all of the toys we tested for holiday gift-giving, this one got the most "oohs" and "aahs"! Two parabolic mirrors facing each other create a 3-D hologram image! Put the toy frog (included) inside the bowl, and suddenly a frog seems to be sitting up on top. You can't believe your eyes--even though it looks completely real--because you can't touch it! Drop beans or blueberries into the bowl and watch them hop right up on top. A great science toy, and sensible explanation for holographic images. We have so much fun with this one that it lives on my dining room table still! 6". For ages 5 yrs through adult. Amazing!

view | Solar System Placemat Why read cereal boxes?. . . when you could be learning the planets, the periodic table, the systems of the human body or the states and their capitals?
