Star Theater 2 - The Star Theater 2 transforms your bedroom or lounge (or any room, in fact!) into an amazing 360 degree planetarium. It projects hundreds of stars, planets and constellations onto your walls and ceiling, producing a wonderous display of the night sky.

The set includes a hand held meteor maker, with Halley’s Comet slide, which projects streaking comets and meteors.

The Star Theater 2 is not only for use in your bedroom though - the constellation dome detaches for use outdoors as 3-D glow-in-the-dark star map. Now you will be able to impress your friends by pointing out Draco, Polaris and Cepheus (no, we’ve never heard of them either!).

You can explore the night sky with a fascinating CD audio tour hosted by a leading astronomer or just gaze aimlessly at the stars.

The built in compass and easy-to-set dials allow you to accurately replicate the night sky for any time past, present or future - why not see what the stars were doing on the day you were born!

Requires 5 AAA batteries (not included).

Santa’s Magic Footprint - Santa’s Magic Footprint is the amazing new product from Snow Magic for parents. Use this great little set to add an extra touch of realism to Christmas Eve.

Gone are the days when we had to sprinkle flour around the fireplace… there is enough Snow Magic powder in the pack to make at least 20-30 Magic footprints, that will look as though Santa has just visited.

All you need to do is make Pockos realistic snow by adding water then lightly dust the snow around the footprint (yes… the pack even contains Santa’s footprint!). Turn the footprint over to create both left and right foot prints.

What is Snow Magic?

Snow Magic is one of the most remarkable things money can buy. It’s basically snow in a Sachet! The clever part is that it comes in the form of powder and when you add water it expands to 100 times its original volume! Yes, that’s 100 times its original volume! It’s amazing yet so simple and Snow Magic is safe and Non-toxic. All you do is add 8 parts water to 1 part magic snow and you have your very own snow storm!

After a couple of days the magic snow may start to dry out due to the water evaporating. Well fear not! Unlike the misery of watching your snowman gradually melt into a dirty puddle, you can simply spray this snow with water and it’s all nice and fluffy again!

Snow Magic - Tube - JANUARY SALE: Was £3.95. Save 25%. Now £2.96! Offer ends 31st January.

Most of us will have the same conversation this year as we do every other year - it will be something along the lines of ‘winters aren’t as cold as they used to be and there’s never much snow nowadays!’. Well you’re probably right. Global warming is mentioned in the news day after day, polar ice-caps are melting faster than ever before and people are having barbecues in October!

Well we’re sorry, but there’s not a lot that we can do about that. If you’re dreaming of white Christmas there’s not much chance!

Or is there…

We are pleased to give you the opportunity to have your very own white Christmas this year, next year and every year after that! You can have a white winter, a white autumn and even a white summer if you want!

Snow Magic is one of the most remarkable things money can buy. It’s basically snow in a tube! The clever part is that it comes in the form of powder and when you add water it expands to 100 times its original volume! Yes, that’s 100 times its original volume! It’s amazing and is just so simple - all you do is add 8 parts water to 1 part magic snow and you have your very own snow storm!

After a couple of days the magic snow may start to dry out due to the water evaporating. Well fear not! Unlike the misery of watching your snowman gradually melt into a dirty puddle, you can simply spray this snow with water and it’s all nice and fluffy again!

The even cleverer part is that it’s re-usable! You can let the snow dry out completely so you can use it again and again and again!

For added effect, why not put the made-up snow in a plastic bag in a freezer for a couple of hours for an even more authentic feel! Then it looks like snow, feels like snow and is as cold as snow!

This same snow is used on film sets all around the world - that’s how real it looks. It’s great for using as a Christmas decoration, great for just playing with and great as a gift for any snow lover!

Whoever you buy it for, the best bit is watching in amazement as it grows and grows and then just playing with it between your fingers! It really needs to be seen to be believed!

Dimensions:

Height - 12cm / 5′
Diameter - 2cm / 1′
It makes a whole bowl of snow from one little test tube!

Please note: Although it’s clean, safe and non-toxic, adult supervision is required. Vouchers cannot be used on this product.
