SPY SCHOOL: SNEAKY SURVEILLANCE

Ages: 8 years and up • 11-piece kit • 8 1/2 x 11 x 1 3/4 inches • $24.99

Get sneaky with this immersive intro to spycraft!

This science kit gives kids the tools and tips they need to learn how to be a master spy — but it doesn’t take itself too seriously. The cleverly disguised decoy box contains cool spy tools, including a spy-decoder periscope (disguised as a pencil box), a microphone (disguised as a yo-yo), rear-view spy glasses, collapsible spy binoculars, a magnifying loupe, signal mirrors, a masked viewing prop (holes in the back of the book to spy through), and a hilarious in-world book with spy missions and challenges to test your skills.

Young sleuths will have a blast using the periscope to stake out and covertly observe the happenings in their home, using their magni-scope to read microprinting on money, tailing a friend from the front with their rearview glasses, writing secret code messages to their spy partner with the Caesar Cipher built into the periscope, and more. Kids can learn about optics, the science of light, and the science of sound. They'll also discover how to use codes and ciphers and read profiles of famous spies from history.

The Spy School: Sneaky Surveillance Includes:

Decoy spy storage case with hidden compartment, decoy pencil box periscope, two-in-one spy scope, decoy yo-yo microphone with earbud (with 1 x 1.5V LR44 [AG13] battery included), rearview sunglasses, 2 mirrors, 2 magnifier lenses, and 24-page illustrated activity book with masked viewing prop.

Each case contains everything two kids need to keep their secret messages top secret, including UV ink pens, UV lights, red filters, code wheels, and more. From secret codes to secret folds, this kit has more than 30 undercover ways to write and send messages — even when people are watching!

Budding cryptographers can learn and practice real-world codes such as Caesar’s Cipher, the Dancing Man, Pigpen Code, Moon Code, and Zig Zag. They can also practice hand signals and use message masks to thwart “enemy” agents. The Spy School: Secret Ciphers kit explores the science behind invisible inks, light waves, acids and bases, and fluorescence. There’s so much to cover, kids need a clandestine meeting to test their skills!

Seattle, WA

Since 2004, SmartLab has been a leading designer of educational toys for children ages six through fourteen. Our brain-building content inspires the imagination through exhilarating experiments and creative learning. At SmartLab, we believe children learn best through hands-on exploration and discovery. We deliver those experiences by creating inventive toys packaged with engaging editorial content, interactive activities, and solid science. We know the best toys allow children to add their individual insights, problem-solving skills, divergent thinking, and perseverance to their play. That’s why our toys allow for open-ended experimentation and repeat play. From chemistry to electronics to human anatomy to architecture, our full range of STEAM toys offers playful learning experiences to delight and amaze any child. Each of our STEAM toys stands out in the industry by including a kid-friendly illustrated book or booklet that provides a wealth of information on the given topic. We’re committed to helping young minds experience wonder, test the unknown, and increase their understanding of the world through hands-on exploration and informative editorial content.

At SmartLab Toys, we make science fun!

Since 1984, Kane Miller Books has specialized in award-winning children's books from around the world. Our books bring the children of the world closer to each other, sharing stories and ideas, while exploring cultural differences and similarities.

We respect our readers. We believe they deserve the best art, the best writing, the best science available. We believe they deserve to have their questions answered, their feelings validated, and their agency nurtured. We also respect the idea, or the concept, of childhood: that it is a time for absorbing and learning, for figuring out the world, and one’s place in it. We believe the imagination, humor, sense of adventure, and joyousness of childhood is valuable and worth protecting and enriching.

We publish what’s important to children. That means what’s important to them inside and out, near and far, real and imagined. That means fiction and fantasy, imagination and creativity, science and tools for learning. We believe that books are a way to travel the world, and the best way to experiment - with ideas, with thoughts, with feelings, and with belonging (or not belonging). We believe in creating spaces and communities around books and literacy and children that are sustainable and healthy and necessary and meaningful.

Since 1983, Learning Wrap-ups products have provided hands-on learning to assist with the mastery of critical math and reading skills. With their patented self-correcting features, our unique games make learning fun through the utilization of all learning senses, and by providing measurable progress.

Learning Wrap-ups have become a staple for helping children learn basic math and other critical educational skills and can be found in schools all over the world. Especially popular with homeschooling families, our products can be used with any curriculum and allow students to learn individually with minimal supervision.

EDC Publishing: Our Story

Once upon a time, Educational Development Corporation (EDC) began with a focus on educational material. However, it didn’t take us long to discover our true passion: books that children actually like to read! The vision became apparent, and we realized that together we could change the world one book at a time.

EDC was founded in 1965 to develop supplemental curriculum material for schools, and in 1978 we began publishing books. In 2008, EDC acquired Kane Miller Books, award-winning publishers of children’s books from around the world. Kane Miller’s list includes the hugely popular Everyone Poops and Mem Fox’s Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge, along with the successful and innovative Shine-a-Light series, and the bestselling All Better!, with its reusable bandage stickers.

In 2012, then President & CEO Randall White made the highly publicized decision to stop selling EDC products to Amazon. Today, EDC continues to maintain our philosophy of supporting independent bookstores and specialty stores by not making EDC products available to Amazon.

In 2021, EDC acquired Learning Wrap-ups, a unique line of children’s educational manipulatives. Learning Wrap-ups were created 40 years ago by Marion Stuart, a 4th grade school teacher in northern Utah, to help her students gain automatic recall of basic math facts. The initial line up has grown to include other subjects, and Learning Wrap-ups continue to be used today in classrooms and homes worldwide.

In 2022, EDC acquired SmartLab Toys. Since 2004, SmartLab Toys’ STEAM products have earned more than 50 of the toy industry’s most prestigious awards, including multiple Oppenheim Platinum awards and the Good Housekeeping Best Toy awards. SmartLab Toys is known for creating top-quality educational products that inspire young minds.

Together, these three product lines are well-aligned with EDC’s mission of expanding children’s literacy. EDC has become internationally recognized as a force to be reckoned with in children’s publishing, and the continued growth of our offerings underscores our commitment to deliver educational excellence. Our books and educational materials positively impact the way children and families read, learn, and grow.
