I loved Heath-Kits. They always cost almost as much as the finished product, but taught so much from hands-on building.

I feel like the village noddy because I had to look it up.
Again, the spell checked didn’t like it. But Webster's 1828 dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary had no problem with it. Can hardly wait for Monday morning, to dazzle my coworkers. The family members are already unimpressed.

Bbarney looks like you are right about Mickey Mouse, translation.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Noddy is sometimes used as an adjective to describe something as small or childish, for example a "Noddy guide to electronics" being a simplified primer. (Compare with "Mickey Mouse".)
