I don't know about the rest of you but I tend to Christmas shop throughout the year and hide things so I am not scrambling at the last minute.

I wanted to bring Electron Inks to your collective attention. I saw this at a science museum shop today. In essence, this company has produced a rollerball pen that writes with a conductive ink allowing circuits to be drawn and they also produce components that one may insert into the circuit.

It struck as being like snap circuits unchained - my DD loved Snap Circuits when she first had them. The look of pure astonished wonder on her face the first time we built the circuit the launches the spinner into the air is still one of my most cherished memories so far of stuff we have done together.

The possibilities are just short of endless really.

Here is the url to their website:-
