The window-cling craft "stuff" was a HUGE hit with DD11.5 last year. I still have one in my kitchen window!

There is also a pretty cool "Kitchen chemistry" set out there...I got ours at Zany Brainy...both of my DDs had those at about age 8-10 and it's neat stuff.

We've also thoroughly used the microscope too. DD11 looked at anything and everything that would fit under the lens!

For general "pop" music there are CD's titled "NOW" and a number....I think the newest one is NOW23. They're a pretty decent compilation of top hits and artists from the pop scene. We've had many over the years starting with NOW6, I think! We have also loved "Kidz Bop" which is kids singing pop hits. DD11.5 still enjoys those.
