Squeeze this squishy version of the eight-legged tardigrade, aks moss piglet, aka water bear, and it takes up to (9) seconds to slowly morph back into shape while you feel your stress disappear like the cashews in a bowl of mixed nuts. Measures 4-1/2” long in green with the squeezability of a marshmallow. You probably don’t even know you need it, but you’ll know you needed it once you start squeezing it.

This goldenesque rubber chicken can talk! Actually, squawk. Known as the Shrilling Chicken, it’s 11” long, in chicken-skin goldish color, complete with goose bumps, a squish me tag and don't forget the gaping mouth. Squeeze it for hours of humorous, attention-grabbing squawks. Work it into your stand-up routine or sneak it into parties. You’re hilarious!

Maybe. Could also be a stegosaurus, triceratops or something else--that’s part of the fun of paleontological parenthood. Just submerge the 4-1/2” tall ersatz dinosaur egg into cool water and wait 48-72 hours while it cracks like a real egg and the baby dino grows to a be a foot long. If your mother won’t let you skip your bath for a few days (they’re like that, mothers, no scientific discipline), just use any container bigger than a 12” dinosaur.

Penguins on parade. Our each is a set of (6) nesting penguin dolls, matryoshka style, that, when lined up on your mantel, desk or fridge, say Antarctic whimsy lives here. Nest them back together when you're over-whimsied. Daddy penguin is 4-1/2” tall and the baby is 1-3/8” and yes, it's a family—you can tell by their eyebrows. All are wearing the traditional tuxedos with the equally traditional orange beaks and feet. Ages 4+.

Plastic insects, lizards and arachnids might not scare you, but they have the potential to scare the bejeebers out of your mother if you put a couple in the sugar jar. You pick: the Creepy Crawleys Collection with (15) 1-1/2” long creepies, including a centipede, scorpion, beetles, roach, ant, grasshopper caterpillar and giant fly, along with tiny palm trees we don't understand; the Insect Collection with a dozen 1” to 2” critters including a dragonfly, grasshopper, fly, beetles, mantis, scorpion, ant, cockroach and a lizard, which isn't an insect but go tell it to the manufacturer; or the Spider Collection with a dozen very colorful arachnids, any of which will stand out nicely in a sugar canister.

You may well have wondered where the boneless chicken breasts in your local supermarket come from. The answer is from boneless chickens. And we have some life sized rubber models of the birds to prove it. Modeled from life, they are shown plucked and as they might appear hanging in the poultry store window. Seeing is believing, at least in Missouri, so get one and look.

Behold our version of the gravity-fed sliding woodpecker. Ours is a 1-3/4" standard black woodpecker, not counting his cute red plume, slowly pecking his way down a 16-1/2" tall metal rod. His super-rapid, lifelike pecking action is strangely compelling to adults, and draws belly laughs from toddlers!

That's what our uncle Ned called his, so don't write in about contradictory terms. This is a particularly nicely detailed domesticated male pig, in pink polyresin with embossed hair and a pleasant, if non-committal, look on his face. Also, anatomically correct. Measures approx 3-1/2” snout to curly tail x 2” tall at the pig withers. What will you do with it? Hey, that’s not for us to say. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Old MacDonald had a very odd farm. And you can too, with this farmload of (10) baby animals, including a calf, rabbit, piglet, baby chick, duckling, lamb, kid (that's a baby goat, kids), kitten and beagle puppy. All are plastic and approx 1-1/2” long x 1” to 1-1/2” tall, which makes for a scale that's a tad whimsical, with the little chick standing taller than the piglet and the rabbit appearing to outweigh the lamb by a factor of five or six. They're all as cute as the dickens, though.

What has stripes, big floppy ears and antennae? A beagle in pajamas with a transistor radio? Yes, but also this lovable fuzzy beastie that's a cross between an elephant, zebra and ladybug, with the best parts of each. Toddler focus groups spit up on their teddy bears after they met her. Stands (OK, slumps) 14” tall x approx 20” long, although she's a good 36” from extended tail to tip of trunk. From Genetipetz, gene-splicing toy folks who brought us the Mooraffe a few years back. The Zebugraphant sells for up to $59.95 if you go to a licensed breeder.

Drop some coins into this dog's dish and watch him get all wiggly wacky with barely controlled excitement while he gobbles your change and stores it in the base of the bank. You add a pair of "AA" batteries because animatronic dogs don't eat Alpo®. Pup is 3-1/2" tall on a 5-7/8" x 3-1/8" x 2-1/2" base. We'll pick a pup from our litter of assorted mongrels.

Impressive, this 3-foot Lizard King. The 1:14 scale plastic model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton has 51 bones that snap together, then snap apart easily for later use, which is more than you can say about the original. Measures 36" long, and comes with a display stand. Bones are nicely aged for paleontological verisimilitude. Very nice kit, with legs, as they say! For ages 8 and up.
