Kid-powered ideas • Family-built inventions

Small Beginnings. Big ideas. Occasional slime.

Oscar Frank Astronaut Invention Co. is the official home of our family invention lab — where science-night prototypes, board games, cat toys, squishies, slime, and wonderfully weird ideas all get a chance to launch.

Featured launches

Some projects are practical. Some are playful. The best ones are both. Here are a few inventions from the Oscar Frank universe.

🌡️

Nano-Therm

A science-night iphone-based forehead temperature scanning project built around sensors, code and curiosity

🎲

Carpool Board Game

A real family game concept about the chaos, strategy, and comedy of getting everyone where they need to go.

🐈

Cat Toy Lab

Inventing for cats is serious business. The customer may ignore the prototype, sit in the box, and still be completely correct.

🧸

Squishies & Soft Stuff

Experiments in textures, collectibles, tiny characters, stress-squish engineering, and cute things that need names.

🧪

Slime Works

Color, stretch, sparkle, bubbles, and the occasional kitchen-table cleanup event. Science you can poke.

The rule is simple: try it.

The company began as a dad-and-daughter invention game, then became something bigger: a place to take kid ideas seriously. Draw the mascot. Build the prototype. See what happens next.

Got a strange idea?

Strange ideas are welcome here. Especially if they involve cats, cardboard, sensors, glitter, snacks, or something that might just work.
