Winsome little wind-up walkers resembling squeezy rubber balls with little black feet, toddle across the tabletop for your amusement. You pick a nice blue and green, 2-1/2” dia globe; a roughly lightbulb-sized yellow lightbulb; or a 2-3/4” tall red apple that will walk up to the teacher’s desk all by itself.

It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

You just hate out-of-control balloons flying helter skelter all over the place, going braaaaaaaap and scaring your grandmother? But you still want to launch balloons, indoors and outdoors? You need The Mighty Balloon Rocket. You'll get a pair 3-1/8" long foam rockets on 5" straws with rubber washers for balance, plus (3) starter balloons. Includes useful folksy instructions from someone who's clearly spent many hours perfecting unmanned balloon rocket flight. Lots of little parts, so best keep it away from the munchkins.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in superhero togs (a cape, and maybe a mask or hood, depending on his sartorial whim). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

Even as you read this, our office refrigerator is playing all by itself. Yours could, too, if you had this extremely cool set of automatic working-gear fridge magnets. Very instructive for budding engineers, just plain fun to watch, and, we assume, amusing for the ice box itself. You'll get (20) 3/8" thick plastic gears in assorted neon colors, all of which interlock in various patterns and turn all by themselves, driven by the 5" dia x 2" thick motorized gear/picture frame that runs on a couple of "AA"s that you provide. Gears include (7) at 4-5/8" dia and 3-1/2" dia and (6) at 2-1/2" dia. Buncha bright stickers included at no extra cost.

Our absolute, all-time favorite commencement-special whacko dancing musical chicken. He (or she-it's sort of gender-free) is ultra-goofy, animatronic, and 7" tall with googly eyes and yellow plush feathers. Squeeze his arm and he marches to Pomp and Circumstance for a few feet, then switches to the madly increasing tempo of the (quite loud) Chicken Dance music for a total of 30 interminable seconds. (Luckily, the switch on his hand lets you turn him off at any time.) Comes complete with a mortarboard and tassel. Whyfor surplus? The little diploma rolled up in his hand says "2006." Snip it off and and replace it with one of your own, or just tape a new digit over the six, and he's anno-appropriate. You add (3) "AA" batteries and a graduation party.

37535 CHICKEN GRADUATE |
A rather dumb looking 6" bird with a felt covered head and has plastic feet. Worse, he cannot get his fill of water. You buy the drinks. Fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken. Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!

and call us in the morning. Better yet, take (4) of these white-plastic aspirin-shaped yo-yos and call us whenever you like. Our oversized reciprocating analgesic tablet toys are 2-1/4" dia x 1-1/4" thick with 3-1/2-foot strings.

Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance; to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Better than rubber vomit. More fun than a whoppee cushion. This radio-controlled rat moves forward, turns left, spins around, stares at you with red, glowing eyes. Dark-gray plastic, he's about 13" from his pointed little nose to the point of his tail. Works up to 50 feet from the wireless hand-held controller. Requires (3) "AA" batteries, (1) 9 volt battery and a kid 8 years or older, none of which are included.

You know the one-big stupid grin, chatters, jumps up and down, pounds really annoying cymbals together and won't stop…an American classic. The originals from the '50s bring $75 or so on Ebay, but you can get your own brand-new, latter-day cymbal-clanging primate in a little red hat for a fraction of that. Approx 7-1/2" tall, runs on (2) "AA" batteries (not included) with a power switch under his monkey bottom.
