We just had an amazing pond unit study with a water testing kit, pond and water-related books, and a few supplies we already had on hand. I know that not everyone will have access to a pond, but any body of water can offer fantastic learning opportunities! Be it a river, lake, stream, marsh, ocean, […]

When you depress the brake pedal on your car, it pressurizes fluid in your brake lines which transmit force to your brake pads, forcing them to squeeze against your car’s wheel. The resulting friction is what brings you to a nice, comfortable stop. When your brakes fail, it’s typically because you’ve lost a substantial amount […]
The Hydraulic Machines 4-in-1 Pack brings four wooden machines to life with hydraulic power. These kits provide hours of interesting building and thoughtful use – building blocks, moving Lego people around the house, and for those who want to give their mouse the ride of his life! Kits included are: Mini Scissor Lift, Mini Platform Lifter, Mini Cherry Picker, and Mini Excavator. Learn how to use water pressure in syringes and rubber tubes to control a platform lifter, a scissor lift, a cherry picker, and an excavator. Built from pre-cut and pre-drilled wooden parts, these machines will provide hours of fun and hands-on learning. The models vary in size but range from 18 cm (7") to 24 cm (9.5") high. Models are packaged in individual bags inside the box. All four machines can be built at the same time - no parts are shared between the models. Some assembly and gluing is required. Scissors or a sharp knife are needed to cut tubing; glue is included. This is a great product for anyone interested in STEM fields such as engineering or the manufacturing industry. These machines function on some of the same hydraulic principles that drive real world machines. Each kit comes pre-cut and ready to assemble (glue included) Easy to understand instructions Suitable for beginner model makers These hands-on models are a great way to introduce simple machines and levers to kids of all ages Most models stand between 18 and 24cm high when fully extended and can hold things like a glass of milk, mice, small toys and plastic animals, false teeth and other items.

Our Drag Tape is made from nonstretch 100% polyester fabric with a hypoallergenic medical grade acrylic adhesive that is latex free and non-medicated. The lack of stretch prevents blistering while offering a flatter look for drag! The strong adhesive will stay stuck even when sweating so you can feel confident during your performance. It will stay on while swimming or showering and can last for days, but we recommend wearing for only one day to avoid discomfort due to the lack of stretch. We recommend it only be reaplied 1-2 times a week to prevent irritating the skin from constant removal. For long term use, please check out our softer nylon T-Tape. PLEASE TEST ON SKIN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE USE ON SENSITIVE AREAS. Apply to clean dry skin. We strongly sugest covering the niples or glans to prevent pain when removing tape. It is best to remove the adhessive with natural oils like almond, grapeseed, coconut, olive or even canola or corn oil; but we suggest avoiding petroleum products like baby oil if you do not want to risk increasing estogen levels. Roll is 8cm x 5m This body safe tape is perfectly safe for binding as long as it is not wrapped around the entire chest - directions in photos. Taping can be better than a traditional binder as it does not restrict, constrict or compress your body or organs at all. Taping allows for wider range of motion, mobility and breathing. It is more discreet than binding as it does not cover the back, chest or shoulders and is not visible under your garments. The wave pattern of the adhesive provides a strong bond that is breathable and less irritating than full coverage adhesive. For long term use, please check out our softer nylon T-Tape. If using for tucking, USE A COTTON PAD OR TISSUE to keep your glans and other sensitive areas from making direct contact with tape, as adhesive is very strong and will be difficult to remove. Search our shop for "disposable" to find cotton pads and nip covers! Discrete packaging ;)
