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.

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.

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!

Naked squirrels always trouble us. For your instagrammatic pleasure, this 7-3/4" tall laminated squirrel cut-out stands on a folding easel and comes with (39) assorted, reusable vinyl clothing stickers, including tighty whities, pearls, a propeller beanie, sneakers, an argyle sweater and a whole bunch of holiday costumes. Easter bunny with a chain saw, anyone?

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.

Our robotic kingii dragon (Chlamydosaurus kingii, or frilled-neck lizard) is better than a puppy because you don't have clean up after it and it won't chew the furniture. This STEM education kit has (2) motors and digital control via IR sensors to activate LED eyes, motorized mouth and pop-out neck frill, plus "Escape" and "Chase" modes, which make it retreat and follow you using IR sensors, respectively. You'll need (4) "AAA" batteries and some patience, as this kit is delightfully challenging. Finished dragon will be 13-1/2" long x 8-1/4" x 5". For ages 10+.

Ready to fulfill all of your unmet movable yeti needs, this 6-1/2" tall plastic bigfoot has articulated ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders and elbows, which makes him posable in more positions than Twyla Tharp.

From the world of Collect 'Em All, these uber-cute little foam animal figures are 1" to 1-1/2" across with a little 3" hook-n-loop band on the back so they can be attached to fingers, flip-flops, shoelaces, backpacks, wherever kiddies think they belong. You'll get (4) different ones from the selection of frogs, pandas, monkeys, elephants, kittens, bats, fishes, penguins and toucans.

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.

The mouse is back! After an extended absence (due more to supply problems than to any rodent-eradication program) the gray rubber mouse is once again available. A hair under 3" long with a 4" long tail, he's diminutive and detailed -- and ready to move into Sis's underwear drawer!

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.

Some folks would call these gnomes, and they have name tags that say “Gnomlins,” but don’t believe it. They’re actually stuffed and furry Tomte or Nisse, depending on whether they’re Swedish or Norwegian, and they’re not saying. Wherever they’re from, they’re “solitary, mischievous domestic sprites.” Ours are 6” tall, which makes them 1/6 life-size.

Get creative with a half-dozen soft, cuddly, 4" tall stuffed kitties, cute as the dickens and with heads held on with hook-and-loop patches. Devise your own creative game to play with them (Pin the head on the pussycat.) or just ingeniously stick them around to surprise your friends and family. The label calls them "Stress Kittens" because, of course, having the option of changing your mind is a relief, even for a cat. You get (6) in black with a white belly, purrfect for rubbing.

Why fork out thousands for what is, after all, just a battery-operated car, when you can own Nikola himself. Our plush Tesla doll is just over 13” tall and wears a little houndstooth jacket and matching vest. You’re going to love stroking his ultra-soft hair, and the BBs in his bottom assure that he’ll sit right up on your desk and keep you company.

Kreepie Krawlies® are smartphone pranks designed to make your phone just a tad more fun. You’ll get a 1-1/2” dia plastic disc with lenticulars that, when scanned with your phone, make distracting insect holograms appear on the back of someone’s hand, which distracts them while you surreptitiously stick a rubber insect on their hand. Comes with disc, critters, and sticky tape. App is available at the Apple Store and Google Play.

Depends on whether you stretch him or not. Same with spiders. To prove it, get this reptile set with a trio of 1-1/4” spiders that will stretch to 4” to 5” and a quartet of quite tensile 8-1/2” snakes that will stretch to darn near a yard long. All in mostly non-reptilian but pretty colors. Bonus: includes a little lenticular (that means stuff appears in 3-D or moving) card, included for no reason that we can think of.

These 3” tall plastic robots aren’t actually robotic. They just stand there looking like robots, but pull off their feet and there’s a surprise ball-point pen sticking out of their little robot bottoms. We’ll send you one in robot-appropriate silver or gold.

Paris Hilton showed us that little dogs could be fashion accessories, but the drawback of having a real dog on a red carpet is the clean-up. Here, we offer plush Pound Puppies™, which are stuffed toys about 5" long that nestle in 4" x 2-3/4" dia carriers with handles. We have cockapoodles and shiba inus. Ages 3+.
