Kaleidoscope Kit
Kaleidoscopes are cool. Building your own is very cool.

Travel Spin Doodles
Very handy for road trips, or any other time a kid (young or old) needs something distracting. It's all inside the travel box: gears, pens, paper. Nice and compact.

Pip-Sqeak Markers
These little markers are fantastic. Did I mention they're washable? Always a plus with art supplies for kids. They're also not as bulky as regular sized markers.

DNA Model Kit
I haven't tried this kit, but it looks pretty straightforward and easy to build...with styrofoam balls as phospate groups and sugars.

Bead Snowflakes Kit
Modeling Clay and Tools
This is a great kit. It comes with all kinds of tools for working the clay, including rollers and hammers. I've used this kit with my kids and we all like it. The clay is more like modeling clay, but lasts longer than most. You could use the same tools with playdough.
Kaleidoscope Kit
We're very fond of kaleidoscopes, of all kinds, here at GalaxyGoo. With this kit, you can build your own tangible kaleidoscope. Cool!

3D Digi-Draw
3D Digi-Draw looks like a really fun toy! I've always found drawing to be a challenge, and something like this might have been helpful when I was a kid. The product description says it can be used for 3-d objects, but I wonder what it does with perspective. I might get one just to try it out myself :-)
Mechanically, it looks nice and simple, with no batteries or power requirements. Nice!

Window Mosaics
The cool thing about these window mosaic kits is that you're not limited to the template they give you. You can reuse the tiles over and over again, creating your own designs.
