A great gift for the kid detective! Under $17.00

The Spy Gear Evidence Kit is perfect for kids who love the detective shows on TV or just want to play detective at home, school, etc. The Evidence Kit is a mobile forensics set that includes a 30X microscope, UV light, fingerprint kit & glow-in-the-dark powder. Collect fingerprints of potential suspects and file them on your ID card. Use the dusting brush to cover surfaces with fingerprint powder, then shine the ultra-violet light and glowing evidence will appear. Use lifting tape to transport untainted prints back to headquarters where you can inspect them at 30-times their original size. For nighttime sleuthing, attach the light to the microscope to illuminate your enlarged specimens. There are tweezers to collect additional clues – hairs, clothing fibers, crumbs, etc. Place them in sterile bags to avoid contamination. Compare the prints you collect with those on your ID card for positive identification. When kids get home from school, they can check their doorknob for prints and figure out if anyone was snooping in their room. Parents, in turn, can use the Evidence Kit to determine if kids were spying! The Evidence Kit comes with a 30X microscope, LED flashlight, UV blacklight, glow-in-the-dark powder, ink pad, tweezers, ID card, dusting brush, collection bags, double-sided lifting tapes, storage compartments and carrying case. Requires 3 button cell batteries, included.

Here's dog you won't have to walk, or feed. Just play with!

I think kids will love WowWee Sleeping Cuties. I had the Labradoodle Puppy on the World News Now set. He's an adorable, cuddly sleepy pet with a poseable head. He knows when you pick him up. Pet him and he will curl up, make himself cozy and get ready to fall asleep. Pet him again and he will wake up and uncurl while making gentle slumbering sounds. He will make baby animal sounds to tell you how happy he is. There are several different WowWee Sleeping Cuties available. Age 3+ Under $35.00
