Rainbow Spectra-Arc

Click for details
Eat your heart out, Isaac Newton. Although it is only a simple mobile--in fact, a single piece of plastic attached to an (included) nylon filament string--the Spectra-Arc is such an elegant and enchanting toy that even an adult (even your favorite executive) might enjoy receiving one. A banana-shaped arc of translucent acrylic, with a triangular cross-section, it whirls on its string and casts rainbows around the room like confetti. For added fun at nighttime, you can shine a flashlight through it. Potentially educational, but mainly just pretty. (Ages 3 and older)
