It's a mug's game, but this package of (4) giant scratch-and-reveal Magic Unicorn and Magic Bird cards are all winners.

The Bird kit comes with (4) striped pipe-cleaner chenille stems (for making their legs, of course), and both kits come with a scratch stick and an illustration sheet to show you how to scratch lines and designs to reveal the hidden colors.

Heat-sensitive duct tape changes color and gets lighter the more heat is applied, as from sunlight or your paws. Why, you ask? Billy, our social media guru, says if you ask why, you don't deserve it. Just accept that it's cooler than all of the other duct tape, especially if you make a prom dress or tux out of it. And yes, if you had a broken chameleon you could try fixing it with this, but don't tell anyone we said so. The orange-to-yellow tape is 1-7/8" wide and 30 feet long.
