Sundial Postcard
This popular portable sundial design was called a diptych. It consisted of two small flat faces, joined by a hinge.
Diptychs usually folded into little flat boxes suitable for a pocket.
The gnomon is a string between the two faces. When the string is tight, the two faces form both a vertical and horizontal sundial.
Fuller description on the Cards page.
Normal price £5

Shepherds Ring Sundial
This is a fine reproduction - not of the quality of the one we feature elsewhere on the Sundials page.
It works fine, looks good and is a lovely gift.
You will get either the silver or gold coloured version and it comes with a thong to wear round your neck.
Simply move the ring to the right month, hold the thong so that the sun shines through the little hole - and read off the time on the inside!
Sheep not supplied.
Normal price £15

Microscope Kit
Build your own Microscope.
Instant laboratory - not much to explain about microscopes that you don't already know. But have fun!
Everything means more when you've built it yourself.
How clever was Zaccharias Janssen! Or was it Robert Hooke. Or Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek.
Or probably the Chinese had one a million years ago anyway! Still ...

Newton Reflecting Telescope
My kind of toy. Bring the universe to you - a teeny-weeny bit nearer. Once you or your children have built it and used it,
you'll know whether to invest in a real one. Certainly was the most memorable present I ever had as a small person!
