Magnetic Buzzballs

One of those scientific curiosities with no practical purpose that fascinates almost everyone and is impossible to stop playing with.
The two strongly-magnetic orbs are made from Haematite (also known as Iron Oxide), a naturally occurring mineral found in many countries. When the orbs are gently thrown together they rapidly repel and attract in mid [...]

Magnetic Attract-Ores

The irregularly shaped pieces have a smooth, silky texture and cling stubbornly together due to magnetic forces. They can be modelled into a variety of shapes and structures, apparently disobeying gravity, or simply fiddled with and clicked together – endless distraction!

Mr Grasshead

A large fist-sized head stuffed with saw-dust. Grass seed is mixed into the top so that when watered, grass sprouts like green hair, which can then be trimmed and styled and will continue to grow while he is properly maintained. A watering saucer is provided..

Magnet Kit

Magnets always fascinate, and are also of real scientific and educational value. This comprehensive set includes two horseshoe magnets, bar and ring magnets as well as metal rods, ball bearings and specimen tubes, all stored compactly in a hinged container which in turn fits into a draw-string bag. A colour leaflet is also included, giving [...]

Gyroscope

This version from America claims to be ‘the original’, its design barely changed for 80 years. It is still excellent, and still all metal apart from the stand. It comes in a smart perspex type box with the obligatory tower to stand it on as it spins, and the string to start it and balance [...]

Springy

This timeless toy originated in America in the 1930s and is as popular now as at any time. The traditional all-metal version that we offer fulfils all the usual requirements. Some 7cm in diameter, it provides endless satisfying hours of fiddling.

Sun-Print Paper

A clever innovation from America, light-sensitive photographic paper which 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, and its silhouette will have appeared, dark on a light blue background. [...]

Geyser Tube

What started as a science experiment has been turned into a spectacularly messy stunt. A packet of Mentos sweets are released into any bottle of fizzy drink (not included) to provoke a violent and instant reaction, causing the liquid to blast up to seven metres into the air. The science bit is explained on the [...]

Mini Springy

This miniature version, (only 3½cm diameter), is equally as fascinating as the big version, in some ways more so. Impossible to put down.

Resurrection Plant

A botanical curiosity found in many desert areas. It comes in dehydrated form, looking not unlike an old bird’s-nest. When it is placed in water, it springs to life transformed within a few hours to a verdant fern-like plant. If it is allowed to dry out it returns to its original apparently-dead state. This process [...]
