The kids have been home, what, two weeks now? Going crazy yet? Trick them into educating themselves by getting them a Solar aircraft construction kit from Nigel's Eco Store. This nifty little box can go together with a simple screwdriver into either a helicopter or an airplane, and the rotors spin when sunlight hits the solar panels. (No batteries necessary, of course.) Suitable for ages 8 and up, and only £25. [GT]
