A build-it-yourself volcano kit from Copernicus Toys that walks kids through constructing, painting, and erupting their own papier-mâché volcano. The kit includes pre-formed papier-mâché components, paint, and the chemical reagents (typically baking soda and citric acid or similar) needed to produce the eruption, along with step-by-step instructions. Materials are non-toxic throughout.
The design draws on a classic school-science-fair tradition — the baking-soda volcano — and packages it into a self-contained box project that combines craft assembly with a repeatable chemistry demonstration. The finished piece sits on any flat surface and reads as a miniature geological model as much as a toy. It fits naturally alongside other hands-on activity kits, nature sets, and tabletop science projects.
Suited to ages roughly 6 and up, either solo or with an adult present for the painting and eruption stages. It works as a weekend project, a rainy-day activity, or a low-key group activity for small gatherings. The assembled volcano can be kept and erupted multiple times, giving it a longer life than single-use experiment kits.

FAQ
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
The best novelty gifts are the ones that get a reaction. At High St., that means games, puzzles, playing cards, and small oddities you would not think to buy for yourself. Crowd favorites include our wooden Sudoku game, Dad Jokes Cards, and the wooden robotic arm kit, all chosen to start a conversation the moment they’re unwrapped.
For men, we lean toward gifts that are equal parts useful and playful. Dad Jokes Cards, Palm Reading Cards, the wooden Sudoku game, and the build-your-own robotic arm kit all land well, and each one works as a standalone present or paired with another small find.
Our range runs from quick card games to slower, hands-on puzzles. You’ll find wooden Sudoku, Lenticular Cats and other playing cards, and cross-stitch kits for people who like a longer project. The selection rotates as new pieces arrive, so it’s worth checking back before a birthday or game night. For one-of-a-kind oddities, our Curiosities collection is worth a look, too.
Yes. Most pieces here are small, affordable, and easy to wrap, which makes them ideal stocking stuffers and novelty Christmas gifts. Card decks, mini cross-stitch kits, and pocket-sized games are the ones that disappear fastest in December.
