Better than a bobblehead, this Beethoven doll stands 6-1/2” tall on a square base with a solar panel. When light hits the panel, Ludwig waves the baton in his hand as if he’s conducting. He’s got that classic Beethoven look: thick wavy mane, high collar, bunched up scarf in front and dark morning coat. From Kikkerland®, this solar doll commemorates Beethoven’s 250th birthday in 2020. That’s why we call ourselves Surplus!

Toysmith®, purveyors of everything squishy, named this 4" long stretchable pig “Pulled Pork” and we have to tip our hats to them. We’d have been proud to come up with that name ourselves. This pink little piggy with cute eyes and perky ears is both stretchy and squeezable, a pliable porcine if we ever saw one. It’ll likely calm and amuse you at the same time.

Hey, that’s like a frog that swallowed a flashlight. But also this kneadable and stretchy lab putty, which is puttier than slime and glows really brightly. Did we mention it’s bouncy? It comes in a tin, approx 3” dia x 1” deep, like shoe polish, except it’s more fun than shoe polish. Might even be more fun than a barrel of monkeys, but it depends on the monkeys.

This 5” tall x 3-1/8” dia white plastic Jumbo Surprise Egg has a bag of lovely blue slime inside plus a small, squishy animal. We've found a dopey dinosaur and other critters, but it's a surprise, remember? Has a little plastic hook on top in case you want to hang your slime somewhere.

Not every kid lives near the beach, or by a putty factory, and even if they did, they wouldn’t find stuff like this, which is why we’re so proud to offer it. You pick: the Magic Floppy Sand in yellow, green or blue, which is light and puffy, sort of sticks together and flops over when you try to hold up a big piece of it; or the Bouncy Putty in red, green, blue or yellow, which bounces when you squeeze it into a ball. Just make sure to mix it well first. Both come in a little plastic jar that’s 3” dia x 1-1/2” high. We’ll pick a nice color for you. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

It’s called Thinking Putty® because while you do whatever you want with it, your brain relaxes and opens up to all kinds of creative thinking. Need it? Yes. And you can also knead it. Or bounce it, bend it, tear it, stretch it, snap it, pop it. Pick from the dark green magnetic Strange Attractor putty with iron filings infused in it, plus a 1/2” cubed rare earth magnet; Honey Hive filled with amber/golden hex confetti and cute little flat plastic bees; the aqua colored Infinite Nebula that's filled with sparkling glitter, glow in the dark and includes a Glow Charger light; Magic Dragon, a giant lizardly green that changes to yellow with heat and filled with gold glitter; or Jarvis' favorite Falling Water, a cool blue totally transparent Liquid Glass putty. All come in a 4” dia x 1-3/8” tin and are made in the USA with the help of exceptional individuals challenged with disabilities.

Nickelodeon, the TV folks, know a thing or two about what kids like, which is why they came up with this Slime Super Pack. It lets kids mix up their own slime with water. Comes with (2) clear slime mixes, (1) glittery blue mix, (1) "slime activator", and (1) little tub of blue dye. Instructions are simple, and written on the box. Basically, kids just mix everything together in a bowl and let the sliming begin. Ages 6+.

Bigfoot fans will be beside themselves with this triple Yeti collection of big hairy fun. You pick: the 5-1/4” tall big fella himself in authentic chocolate brown flexible rubber with, yes, big feet (approx 1-1/2” x 1”) and an equally big, embarrassed-looking grin (for ages 3+); or the Grow-Your-Own Bigfoot that sprouts from a tree stump when submerged in a container of water, and keeps growing as you increase the container size (for ages 5+).

Natural Impressions™ are (30)-gram tins—a tad over (1) oz—of sculpting putty made specially to create terrain for your diorama, model train layout, or little universe all your own. Each tin includes a roller for texture with a small, appropriate stamp on the end. You pick:the Desert Dune putty is tan with a roller that creates 3D sand dunes, and a stamp for camels or the Rainforest putty is a shimmering green with a roller that creates, well, a rainforest, and has a stamp to make monkeys, because what's a rainforest without monkeys?

Still looking for glow-in-the-dark slime in a container a little bigger than a classic plastic film canister? Well, you just found it! This stuff is green, more thin and liquidy than firm and pliable, and the container measures approx 2” x 1-1/2”. That means it’ll fit nicely in your pocket. Or your kid’s pocket. Hey, it’s your slime—you do what you want with it. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
