I hope it isn't against the rules to shill a little, but if any of you out there have kids, you might want to take a look at my sister's new company, Charlie's Playhouse (http://www.charliesplayhouse.com/).  She makes toys and games for kids who are interested in evolution (or who have parents who'd like them to be interested in evolution).

The flagship product is a giant timeline that folds out to 18 feet long and shows the story of life on Earth using a linear time-scale (not the logarithmic scale used for adults, which makes our part of the story seem longer than it really is).  Man are some of the pre-dinosaur creatures weird!  There's a video on her site of kids playing with the thing.

Hope you like it.

(((((( Matt! ))))) welcome back, haven't seen you in too long! I better go check the Hard times thread, I haven't been on this board since the change to a new platform.

cool store, I've added this to my favorites. Have a few nephews that could have a lot of fun with this....

P.S. Educators and retailers who cater to educators should really look into this as well.
