Preview of House-martin nest cup
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Give house martins a mud-textured nest cup under the eaves
House martins build cup-shaped nests from hundreds of beakfuls of mud under the eaves, and in dry springs there is not enough mud. This cup gives them a head start: its flat back screws to the wall right under the soffit board, which becomes the roof, and the entrance slot at the top of the rounded front is the size martins like. The outside is covered in round bumps like mud pellets, so the birds read it as one of their own. Fix two or three side by side, since martins nest in colonies.

Preview of Mirror-therapy box
By Krypto

Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Trick the brain with a mirror for phantom-limb pain and stroke recovery
Mirror therapy was invented by the neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran. Both hands go in through the front holes, with a mirror standing in the slot between them, facing the good hand. Looking at the mirror, the patient sees the good hand moving where the hidden hand should be, and the brain is fooled into feeling the hidden limb move freely. It is used for phantom-limb pain, stroke rehabilitation and complex regional pain syndrome.

Preview of Spin-dial dog treat puzzle
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Hide treats in eight bays under a dial the dog noses round to find them
A brain game for dogs. Drop a treat into each of the eight bays and put the dial on top: it has a single window, so only one bay is open at a time. The dog has to work out that nudging the dial round with nose or paw reveals the next treat. Ten minutes of sniffing and thinking tires a dog out more than a long walk. Leave some bays empty to make it harder.

Preview of Gummy-bear osmosis lab
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Watch gummy bears grow, shrink or dissolve in four liquids overnight
Put one gummy bear on the millimetre grid in each bay and measure it, then cover them with plain water, salty water, sugary water and vinegar. By morning the water bear has swollen to twice its size as water rushes in through its skin by osmosis, the salty and sugary ones barely change, and the vinegar bear has started to dissolve. Measure them on the grid again and record the results. A classic science experiment in a neat tray.

Preview of Stereoscope card viewer
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: See stereo photo cards in 3D through two lens ports
A modern take on the Victorian stereoscope. You look through two lens ports set the width of your eyes apart, a centre septum stops each eye seeing the other picture, and a stereo card slides into the slot at the back. Two flat photos taken a step apart pop into 3D. Make your own cards with any phone by shooting, stepping sideways and shooting again.

Preview of Feelings check-in board
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Let children post a token in the bay that matches how they feel
A feelings check-in for classrooms and family kitchens. Children drop their named token into HAPPY, CALM, WORRIED or ANGRY when they arrive, each word in its own colour. Adults can see at a glance who might need a quiet word, and children practise naming their feelings without having to say them out loud.

Preview of Vinyl single wash station
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Wash and rinse 7-inch singles on edge in two baths
A two-bath wash station for 7-inch singles. The record stands on edge in the wash bath and is turned by hand through the cleaning fluid, then moved to the rinse bath beside it. The label stays above the liquid, and decades of crackle wash away. WASH and RINSE are raised on the front.

Preview of Auricula plant theatre
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Stage small potted plants on two tiers like a Victorian auricula theatre
Victorian gardeners showed off prize auriculas on a tiered stage called an auricula theatre. This one stages a row of small pots in front and a raised row behind, so succulents, violas or herbs on a windowsill each get their own spot in the light.

Preview of Stitch-marker dispenser
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Tip out knitting stitch markers one at a time
A pocket dispenser for knitters' stitch markers. They live in the round body, and a tilt brings one out through the hole in the top, so the whole bag doesn't spill onto the sofa. It is small enough to live in a project bag.

Preview of Colour-coded cleaning cloth station
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Keep microfibre cloths separated by room so they never cross-contaminate
Professional cleaners colour-code their cloths so the toilet cloth never touches the kitchen worktop. This station brings that rule home: four bays, each labelled in its own colour (KITCHEN, BATH, GLASS, DUST), so the right cloth comes out every time.
