Best Toys

Since 1946, Uncle Milton toys has been creating innovative toys which have not only play value, but which also help to introduce children to the fun world of science. They have many different science toys which are ideal for helping children to enjoy and understand the discipline better.

Moon In My Room

The moon is an amazing thing, and has captivated the attention of people for thousands of years. With Moon In My Room, children can learn all about the moon and the different phases if it, right in their own room in a fun and engaging way. This toy mounts on the wall in their room and they can change the phases using the included remote. A CD that comes with it helps children to understand the cycles of the moon better, making this toy not only fun and a great decoration in the room, but also something that really helps children understand the cycles of the moon.

Giant Ant Farm

One of the most classic types of science toys is the ant farm, and with the Giant Ant Farm, children get to see ants up close and personal, without having to infest their parents’ homes. We love the fact that this toy makes it very easy to see ants and how they colonize and work together. This toy comes with a coupon that you mail in to get the harvester ants, so if you’re purchasing as a gift you may want to send in the coupon before you gift it, as it can be a bit boring having an empty ant home.

Star Theater Pro

A trip to the planetarium is a must for every student, but the Star Theater Pro takes the idea of a planetarium and puts it right in your child’s bedroom. This is not so much a toy as it is an amazing way to see the stars right in your home. It may seem a bit expensive at first, but we found that it was worth every penny, making it easy to see the stars and actually to even fall asleep to it, thanks to the planetarium soundtrack that is included. Like most Uncle Milton toys, this one is a great way to introduce children to the discipline as a whole.

Rainbow In My Room

The beauty of a rainbow is something that nature has always provided and that could not be harnessed – until now. The Rainbow In My Room is unique among play things in this category because it brings a rainbow into your very home – no rain necessary! Using five small light bulbs, this toy brings a rainbow into your home, on your walls and on your ceiling. We also found that if you cup your fingers under the toy you can have a rainbow in your very hand. We found this to be a great toy for children’s bedrooms, especially for those who enjoy visual stimuli.

Star Wars Force Trainer

Who would ever think that you could find great science toys from the classic fantasy story of Star Wars? Uncle Milton’s, of course. The Star Wars Force Trainer is a very unique toy (and we use that term loosely) that allows children to control a ball that goes up and down a tube with their mind. The toy uses EEG sensor technology to interpret the child’s brainwaves, making the ball move up and down the tube on three different levels. We found this to be a truly unique choice that will not only help children with their concentration, but is just plain cool.

Darth Vader Robotic Arm

Another selection that comes from the world of Star Wars is the Darth Vader Robotic Arm. This robotic arm is controlled on the base of the arm where children can use it to move, turn, extend, and even grip objects. It’s a very fun gadget to have in a home and can definitely spook out your children’s friends, but it’s not a toy for children who are under the age of 8, as it can be a bit difficult to control well. Adults who enjoy the franchise, however, will really enjoy this one in their collection as well.

Shadow Magic

Children love playing with their shadows, especially when they’re young, but who knew that there were toys that let you play with your shadow? The Shadow Magic is a unique way to enjoy your shadow: a child simply stands in front of a light reactive vinyl screen and a strobe light freezes their shadow. They can then use the included light pen to get creative or can start over again! We don’t find this so much of a science gadget as it is something that’s really fun to play with, for both children as well as their parents!

Solar System In My Room

Understanding how the solar system looks, in 3D, anyway, can be difficult, but there are a few unique science toys that are designed to help children to see what the solar system really looks like. The Solar System In My Room is a great option. This one actually gets attached to the child’s ceiling where it lights up and actually moves like the solar system does! Children can even use a light pointer to point out the planets or to make comets or meteors travel in the solar system. We find this choice perfect for any child who is interested in outer space.
