Asperger kids are so smart intellectually, but need a lot of help socially and emotionally. This boy's mom rocks for loving him for he is and recognizing that he needs to be reminded that he is loved. That was always Mr. Rogers' mantra, "I love you, just for being you." Sounds simple and obvious, but that's how some important things are.

Want to surprise the person sitting next to you? The kinetic energy from this ambush style Jack-in-the-Box will spring the dowel out from the side and smack them.

It's a automatic pop up manual slide-out toaster. Set the timer on the front and, when it dings, you slide the dowel, door, timer...and toast! Unheated coals not included (it is wood, after all--hot coals would be ridiculous).

In Victorian Times, the mouse circus was always a popular Sunday affair. In order to out-shine the other travelling rodent circus acts, many tools were favoured to give our miniature cheese-nibblers a paw-up on their fellow vermin. This tool is the infamous "French Souris-Planche-Des-Doom" (mouse-plank-of-doom) trainer. It allowed the wee ones to practice the gravity-defying scrambles, leaps, and tumbles, across a beam no wider than a mouse's fuzzy-five-claw (or is it four?). The wheel allowed for angle adjustments at an number of gear-locked set points, including the 10 degree "ho-hum", 45 degree "cheese bonus", and 90 degree "sign of the apocalypse now!".
