A bunch of seagulls is a flock, but a bunch of crows is a murder. Hey, we don’t come up with this stuff—blame the ornithologists. If you’re into black crows, and want a murder of them, these rubbery plastic figurines are nicely detailed, and approx 2” x 1” each, in different poses. You’ll get (4) in a handsome 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 1-1/2” box with a nest in it. Black crows only—no flocks of seagulls, eagles or yardbirds.

This hard-plastic ducky is like a rubber ducky, but with a pull-back mechanism that makes it roll on its own. Who doesn’t love a pull-back duck? In authentic rubber-ducky yellow with (2) rubber wheels on the bottom, independent suspension and no fuel required. No batteries, either. This thing basically drives itself. Let’s see a rubber ducky do that.

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!

These, squishy dinosaur eggs are egg-shaped and XL egg-size, but the thing that makes it so cool is when you squeeze them, a baby dino appears in the bubble that pops out of the “X” in the end. Our resident paleontologist and Amazing Critters Department Head, Grace, has personally identified grey, green and yellow eggs, all about 2-3/4” x 2”, containing baby triceratops, pteranodons and t-rexs. How fun are they to squeeze? We started writing this description 47 minutes ago. Just a few more squeezes and we’ll be done. There.

These gray plastic gargoyles, in creepily authentic detail, are great for cathedral models and graveyard dioramas as long as they’re miniature. Figurines measure about 1” tall. You’ll get (4) of them in an attractive 4” x 3” x 1-1/4” box with a flip-open top and a display window. Great for anyone who wants to add a little goth to a home or office. 

You know how every once a while you just need a standard grab bag of a dozen roaches? This is for those times. Our critters are rubber, each approx 2” long, and (9) of them are neon/glow in the dark. The other (3) are good ol’ classic roaches. Super gross and fun. Don’t act like you don’t want a bag.

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.

At least that’s what someone told us in junior high. And now we can do it again with this giant rubber earthworm that’s 1" wide at its plumpest x 15" long. Unlike our worm in junior high, this one stretches to more than 7 feet! Don’t stretch it too long or you might rip it. And keep it off painted walls, fabric and wood, because like real worms, it might stain. Also comes with educational facts on the package so you can learn while you pull. Ages 3+. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Much as you’d like to keep Junior occupied with real snakes at this point, preferably rattlers, “society” has a real problem with that. Instead, keep the kid occupied with this plastic multi-colored snake-like fidget toy. It’s 3/8" wide x 20” long fully extended, with green, blue and orange links that make satisfying clicking sounds and allow Junior to make various shapes. Hours of fun! Ages 5+.
