September 2012 Notable Toys — KitsThe Gelarti Designer Studio allows kids to make a fun and colorful world on their walls using paint pens, glitter and 3-D accessories. Kids simply place a sticker sheet onto the turn table making sure the edges are underneath the tabs and gently squeeze the Gelarti paint pen to create and color their sticker. Kids can also create different effects with the marbling tool. Blend two colors together or create beautiful swirls. Once they have finished painting their sticker they can add 3D accessories. Leave to dry for at least 6 hours, or for best results overnight. Once completely dry, peel off the backing sheet and apply to smooth, clean surfaces. When kids want to move your Gelarti sticker, peel off and place it somewhere else. When kids have finished using the designer studio they can simply close the lid and take their studio with them.

Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modern world. With this kit, kids can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity. The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator. Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions. ToyDirectory Product ID#: 34647 (added 7/20/2012) .
