IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit
Want to inspire a kid to read more? Who can resist reading their own published novel? It’s now possible to publish one’s own book with the Illustory Make Your Own Book Kit! This award-winning activity kit allows future authors to write and illustrate their very own story on special book pages provided. Once the story is complete, it is sent to be published, and in a few short weeks the budding writer receives a colorcopied, professionally type set hardbound book. This innovative kit nurtures enthusiasm for reading, writing, and illustrating and was a winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, as well as multiple awards from other organizations.

Live Butterfly Garden
Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? Kids will be fascinated by all they learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (one needs to provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars.

The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when one receives the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Boys can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation).

Boys get to witness one of nature's most spectacular transformations up close with this reusable, collapsible habitat. This exciting habitat makes a fabulous introduction to the miracles of nature and is one of the best selling educational toys out there.

Swedish FireSteel
A survival tool for creating a tool of survival! Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. Its nearly 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude.

Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a foolproof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues. Amazingly enough it also works equally well when wet. It works by generating sparks when a metal blade is slowly moved across Firesteel.

The sparks can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire. If your man is the outdoorsy type he’ll definitely appreciate the power of being able to start a fire with such a simple tool.
