Copernicus Compact Curiosities- 12.10.08
I think i’ve found the perfect stocking stuffer for kids!!! Or it’s what i’ll be resorting to when i need random little gifts, that are not only really fun and amusing but educational and awesomely packaged! Copernicus Toys is a wondrous playground of all the fun sciencey toys and gizmos and puzzles i loved as a kid, and they’ve recently launched this great line of Compact Curiosities! Adorable packaging ~ nice clean fonts/graphics/colored labels on the translucent 4x6” pouches… definite points for the shiny object factor…
And it gets better! Inside these packets are old favorites from Monster Balloons and Vortex devices (you know, the ones you put between two 1L soda bottles!) to dissectable Owl Pellets and Geodes to crack open! Also incredibly affordable ranging from 3$-12$ (most are 3$-6$)! See closeups of the whole line on the next page!
And really ~ beyond this new line, Copernicus Toys has so much stuff from my childhood that has gotten me all excited again! From the cow in a can and metal puzzles, to what looks exactly like my first microscope, parachuting men, frisbees, metal puzzles, newton’s cradle, gyroscopes, hand boilers, and more! So much fun ~ check out their pdf catalog for easiest browsing.
UPDATE! Here are scans of the packaging for the ones we got ~ Looks like the final packaging got a bit more color and some graphical updates!
Really informative!!!!!!! i want a ‘Monster Balloon’ and I’m really young! Please do more, stumbled onto your site while looking for information about the scientist Copernicus and will certainly come back! :]
