set. The finished product won't defy gravity, but the set's
478 pieces are bound to provide light years of design
possibilities.

Water Wonders Kit (Ages 7 and older)
by Alex Toys
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JHUX/entertainmentsit
What do you get when you cross a cup of water with origami,
modeling clay, and data sheets? The Water Wonders Kit, of
course! A colorful, original way to spark an interest in
science, this kit makes learning fun by showing kids
firsthand what water will do when you provoke it.
Instructions and supplies for 10 different experiments are
included, and after they've discovered what makes water
bubble and how to create a tornado in a bottle, your
children might even want to devise some experiments of their
own.

knowledge when you embark on a Mystery Voyage with this
clever board game. Collect clues while you trot around the
globe attempting to identify the mystery destination.

Hoberman Mini Sphere: Glow in the Dark (Ages 5 and older)
by Hoberman Designs
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JX1F/entertainmentsit
It's a ball... it's a star... it's a trapezoidal
icosatetrahedron! The colorful plastic Hoberman Mini Sphere
makes a terrific stress toy (for tough school days)--expand
it, collapse it, do tricks with it, or simply set it on your
desk and contemplate the ways of the universe. Best of all,
this one glows in the dark!

Peace the Bear Beanie Baby (Retired) (Ages 3 and older)
by Ty
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001QEAQ/entertainmentsit
The world needs Peace--and with her soft, rainbow-colored
fur and bean-filled heart, she's eager to please. Ty's Peace
the Bear Beanie Baby was retired not too long ago, so now's
the time to give Peace a chance.

Tessera Beetle Tile Puzzle (Ages 7 and older)
by DaMert Company
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IS0X/entertainmentsit
Not only is this puzzle entertaining, it might even increase
vocabulary (encourage your child to look up "tesselations"
before beginning to form them!). But the best part is the
colorful swarm of beetle tiles that interlock to form an
infinite number of mosaic patterns as you attempt to solve
any of the six puzzles that come with the box. Or, even
better, create your own endless designs with these members
of the order Coleoptera.

Scrabble 50th Anniversary Edition (Ages 8 and older)
by Hasbro
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IVZU/entertainmentsit
Scrabble players are both born and made. Get 'em started at
an early age with this new, super-deluxe version of an old
family favorite. The game board now spins on a turntable and
the racks and tiles have been redesigned, but you can still
get a triple word score with "quaich" and have a letter to
spare.
