Mozi is a slinky-meets-fidget toy for your arm. Glide it across from one arm to another or pass from your arm to a friend’s. Its simplicity is mesmerizing and addictive.
2) Homestar Planetarium
Project 60, 000 stars onto your ceiling with this high definition planetarium. Ultra-bright LED bulbs display a brilliant night sky as the rotating projection follows the northern hemisphere throughout the year. Adjust the angle and focus to suit your surroundings, and set the timer to drift off to sleep under a peaceful, starry sky.

4) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
