A frog you can see but can't touch

Mirascope hologram maker

Two parabolic mirrors face each other with a hole in the top. Drop the little frog in and an image of it appears in the opening, solid to the eye until your finger goes straight through. It's an old optics trick, 6 inches across, and it comes with the frog and a red ball to start. Anything small enough to fit works next.

Build something, knock it over, repeat

One magnet in a box and a pile of steel shapes. Stack them however you want and they hold; brush them and they fall. It is a fidget toy that produces a different sculpture every time, and it costs less than lunch. Keep it away from credit cards and hard drives.

An octopus with working joints

Printed in one piece with the joints already in it, so the octopus curls and the cat stretches and nothing was assembled. Pick a color gradient and eye style when you order. They're fidget toys that happen to look like sculptures, and they end up in the hand of whoever sits at that desk.

Twelve pyramids and 243 magnets

A dozen pyramid pieces held together by rare earth magnets, so the cube in your hand folds into shapes without ever coming apart. TOSY claims over a billion of them.

The earth, floating in a ring

An electromagnet in the ring holds a small globe in the air and a line of LEDs lights it from the frame. Plug it in, hold the globe steady until it catches, let go. It takes a few tries the first time and none after that. The ring is easier to set than the C shaped ones.

Three pieces of something that fell from space

Three small fragments of the Campo del Cielo iron meteorite, which landed in northern Argentina about 4,000 years ago and was known to locals long before the Spanish wrote it down in 1576. Each weighs a gram or three. They come in a storage box with a card. It's a rock, and it's also older than the planet's oldest rocks. Hold it and think about that.
