Any leads on the desktop anatomy model? That does sound like something my kids would like. I would also like a rec on good magnets. These are the anatomy models I had in mind, ultramarina. There are 3 or 4 on offer in a 4.5" scale: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/anatomical-models/c/174/ For magnets, I chose a wand for my little DS2. If he were a bit older, I'd choose a kit like this one and wrap each piece separately in a stocking: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/super-science-magnet-kit/p/MG-SUPSCIE/ Shameless plug, but I'm selling my old iPhone. It's a 2nd gen 3G black 16 gig model with Fido, in pristine condition. It was my baby before my baby. I also have a 2nd gen iPos nano. At risk of turning this into an ad, PM me if you're interested. I'm selling them cheaply. What is to give light must endure burning.

It's such a meaningless division. It should say "gender normative stereotype: girls/boys". What is to give light must endure burning.

There are 3 or 4 on offer in a 4.5" scale: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/anatomical-models/c/174/ we like the Squishy Human Body more than the Visible Man/Woman (brittle/less well made)... also those little desktop models are ALL great if they're the ones we have (can't remember - got ours a few years ago!) Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.

I don't pay attention to that or anyone else's norms for that matter (what self respecting geek would?) most of the stuff my DD gets is 'boy' stuff Become what you are
