For an upcoming 5th grade school/museum collaboration:

I'm looking for a good source of inexpensive kits which can be used to make sextants or octants or similar instruments.

I have a book, Latitude Hooks and Azimuth Rings, which has instructions on making simple navigational instruments, but I was hoping to get a ready-made, kid-tested "bag o'sextants" kit. Creating my own might take until next Talk Like a Pirate Day. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?
