electricity lab. He can twist, distort and project sound –

like a rooster! This kit includes everything he needs for 20
different sound experiments and 30 circuitry projects. A great way to
learn about circuitry and how it affects sound and voice
modulation. It is safe; no tools or soldering required and there
are step-by-step instructions to make even advanced concepts easy.
There are small parts, so keep it away from children under 3.

What
we like about The Discovery Store:
We're
big fans of the programming on The Discovery Channel so we like to
occasionally surf to the Discovery Channel store and see what new videos
and science products are available. You can find DVD gift sets for some
of their most popular programming, including Meerkat Manor, Shark Week
and Mythbusters. Some of the store's other cool finds include a
retro looking satellite lamp that blinks (Item #794735,
$39.95); the award winning remote control Roboquad robot (Item #785857,
$89.95); and the Nature's Fire Color Changing Volcano (Item #748020,
$24.99). There are always some fascinating finds at The Discovery

What
we like about Kazoo Toys:
We
love the fact that this store gives you access to the best toys from
abroad, like the
beechwood blocks from the German company Haba and the origami kits from
Japan. A number of their toys are also made in the U.S., including
an innovative building toy called Zometool (which uses color and
shape-coded parts integrate numbers, shapes, and vectors into one
fascinating product that helps players build everything from a simple
house to a shadow or "squashed" icosahedron. What a
sneaky way to teach everything from numbers to advanced scientific
principles!

What like about store:
Geography toys! My son loves
all-things geography, but it can be hard to find geography toys, games
and books that are truly interesting and fun for children. This
store carries several different items, including geography board games,
talking globes, and of course, National Geographic books and DVDs.
