Thames & Kosmos 2024 Product Catalog

Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 with the goal of improving informal science education outside of the classroom by publishing high-quality science kits for children of all ages. T&K’s mission has since expanded from its S.T.E.M. roots to encompass other educational branches as well, including 3D light-up puzzles, as well as the panoply of thinking and social skills that can be taught through games. For two centuries, Kosmos has published science books, field guides, star maps, and other educational publications. In the 1920s, the company published its first science experiments kits, initiating a century of hands-on STEM education. We are thrilled to share our 2024 product line with you and look forward to inspiring generations of young minds for yet another century!

innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases — virtually any smooth surface — become part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces.

Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano-adhesive pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. Because the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without any damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep your pads ready for action!

The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps, and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks are ever the same!

Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity for kids and their grownups!

Which paintings are real and which are fake? In this cooperative art-themed card game for three to seven players, there are two teams: painters and museum directors. At the start of the game, the museum directors present two picture cards that describe the visual theme that they have chosen for an upcoming museum exhibition. The painters then choose picture cards from their decks that best align with the theme and place them face down. Four additional cards are secretly added to the deck – these represent fraudulent pieces from the infamous art forger, Belratti! The museum directors must guess which picture cards the painters have submitted for the exhibition and which are forgeries. Will Belratti fool them all? 192 picture cards with many possible visual associations make it a fun challenge to catch the art forger in this family game.

Ingenious has captured the hearts and minds of families and gamers around the world. This international bestseller is one of those rare games that appeals to serious gamers and casual “non-gamers” alike.

In Ingenious, one to four players take turns placing tiles with colored symbols on the gameboard, earning points for the number of matching colored symbols that extend outward in straight lines from the placed tile.

Each tile is shaped like two hexagons stuck together along one edge, each hexagon with a colored symbol on it. Thus, it’s possible to earn points by extending lines of matching symbols in five directions per hexagon, and ten per tile.

The trick is that the winner is not necessarily the player who has the highest scores in a few colors. Rather, the player with the highest score in their lowest-scoring color wins!

It’s Ingenious ... and it’s hugely entertaining, time and time again. The fun simply radiates in all directions!

High Score is a competitive dice game that marries the luck of the dice with strategic gameplay and everchanging rules. Each round players are presented with a new challenge card that dictates different dice-rolling rules for that round. Players take turns rolling dice, deciding if they want to re-roll dice, and trying to get the most points possible as determined by the current challenge card: Do only the odd dice count? What value is the vortex die in this round? Which dice count towards your final score? The player with the most points by the end of seven rounds wins!

High Score takes the basic concepts of Yahtzee or Farkle and adds a layer of strategy that makes the game way more replayable. It’s great for game nights or to teach kids basic math concepts like quadratic equations in a simple and fun way.

RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS

While all Thames & Kosmos products are educational, many of the products are "informal educational products," meaning they are designed and intended for use outside of a formal classroom setting. Our aim is to provide educators with resources that help them relate and adapt our informal education products to their classes and programs, and also to provide products that are aligned to more formal educational needs from the start.
