Top Five TELUS World of Science Gift Shop Items


Edmonton, AB - Tis the season of choices. TELUS World of Science is happy to help you find unique gift ideas for your loved ones this holiday season with five favourite items for sale in our Gift Shop.

1.       Rhino Toys' Oball - Bright, flexible, easy to hold and practically indestructible, the Oball is the perfect gift for children under three. The rubbery frame ball is not just for babies though; toddlers, kids and adults will have fun kicking and catching it . It really is "The Everybody Ball"!

 

2.       Uncle Milton's Rainbow in My Room/Moon in My Room - Rainbow in My Room projects a beautiful rainbow onto the wall at the push of a button. Moon in My Room is placed on the wall and it will automatically luminate when the room begins to darken at night. Then, either automatically or manually with a remote control, the moon will go through its 12 phases. Uncle Milton's creations are not your average nightlight!

 

3.       Rufus Butler Seder's Scanimation Books - By putting scrambled images behind stripes, artist and filmmaker Rufus Butler Seder discovered a way to give the illusion of movement making the books come to life in a whole new way! From Gallop, Swing and Waddle to Star Wars and The Night Before Christmas, 

TELUS World of Science has a variety of scanimation books to choose from and they are always a hit!

 

4.       Rainbow Products' Magformers Magnetic Building Sets  - This award-winning toy lets children six and up build hundreds of three-dimensional designs using powerful encapsulated magnets in the shape of squares and triangles. The magic of the magnets pulls your creations together and locks them in place at your command!  Create geometric shapes and designs or even your favourite  animal.  It's both entertaining and educational!

 

5.       Celestron's Sky Scout Personal Planetarium - This handheld device won Innovative Product of the year in 2006 and for good reason. Point it at a star in the sky and with the click of a button the Sky Scout will not only locate stars, planets and constellations but it will even provide comprehensive text and audio descriptions, history and entertaining facts!

 

In addition to these five items, TELUS World of Science is also where you can find old favourites like telescopes and rockets, Newton's Cradle, Galileo's Thermometer, and other educational and science related gifts. With over a thousand fun and unique items to choose from, there's something for everyone on your list.
