It’s back. Once upon a carnival, the bamboo back scratcher was the prize every kid came home with and there wasn’t an unscratched back in America--unless the kid came home with a goldfish, which are worthless for scratching backs. Now you can...

More fun than a canned ham, this flip-top storage tin has a train set inside, with a plastic steam engine, tender, boxcar and caboose, as well as a 12-piece track that forms a 10" x 22" oval. Tin and train car colors may vary. You add a "AA" battery and...

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...

Or the Swanee whistle. Whatever you call it, this little slide whistle (just consider it the smallest trombone in the universe) has an outsized musical history. No elevator has ever fallen in a cartoon without its accompaniment, and no jug band is...

We can never seem to find just the right communication aid when planning military campaigns, signaling for help or playing with kitties. This 3” laser pointer is perfect for all that and more, and since it’s also a keychain, it’s always...

From the harmonica kings themselves at the Hohner company, comes this 4" long, 3-octave plus, plastic harmonica, in C, the people's key. We'll pick one in an attractive shade of red, green, blue, yellow or whatever color shows up next, and send it in a...

is best done with the sacred mother of all novelty items, the original Whoopee Cushion. Marlon Brando owned one. Of course he did, they're both American classics, except the cushion was born in Toronto. Ours is the classic 8" version.

These monsters decided to try and improve themselves through genetic manipulation experimentation and mutated into strange new forms. These new, superior monsters have tails, scales, and nails to impale. Each monster is between 1-3/4" and 2-1/4"...

Us too, but then who doesn’t kazoo? These 5" long classic steel kazoos have 1-1/8” resonators, and come in (16) festive patterns. They come in sealed blind-box packaging so even our warehouse elves don't know which style you'll receive, and...

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement,...

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...

From France comes this fun mechanical plastic bird that really flies by flapping its wings. Officially known as an ornithopter, it's humbly called Tim by it's friends. It is about 8" long and has a wingspan of 16" tip to tip. Snap the wings in place,...

No mother will approve this item, so keep quiet until it arrives. Our 2-1/4" long inflatable tongue has a pacifier-type end that you hold between your teeth. Blow into it and the rather standard-size pink rubber tongue inflates to three times normal size...

THE American classic novelty item (even ahead of the whoopee cushion and rubber vomit, we think) is a set of chattering choppers. Auto-dentures. Invented by Eddy Goldfarb in 1949, a man who made the Toy Industry Hall of Fame ahead of Milton Bradley,...

Plunk your magic twanger and call yourself froggy. This 3-5/8" long steel jaw harp, or mouth harp, is technically a plucked idiophone, but don't say that in Nashville. Includes playing instructions. Pay no attention to that vibration in your head.

We had something really clever to say about this Memory Maze electronic brain teaser, but in all the commotion, we forgot. To keep our memory sharp, we should probably do more brain teaser exercises, like this 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” Memory Maze,...

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...

Technically, these balls aren’t Super Balls, just like all tissue isn’t Kleenex. But they’re super in our eyes. With cool, colorful marbleized designs, they measure approx 1-1/16” dia each, or 27mm for Canadian kids. We’ll...

No self-respecting number cruncher can afford to be seen without one of these fashion classics. We'll pick out (3) black or white vinyl pocket protectors in the traditional 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" size. Order quickly; It's only a question of time before these...

Our classic bike accessory is LED-free, battery-free, and happily wireless. The retro bike horn has two tones (one while squeezing, the other while the bulb inhales). The tone is much more a Clarabellian quack (search the Web...

This 22" long x 8" x 4" inflatable Ibero Cruceros cruise ship is white with blue and orange accents. There’s not much more to it than that, and you know why? Because there doesn’t need to be! Great for the pool or bathtub (it’s...

Forget that the 6-3/4" long body is festooned with Latin phrases and old maps. The stones/beads/glass inside the tube would make designing windows in cathedrals a snap. And hey, that's good work if you can get it. A nice gift for Rosetta window fans, and...

LEGO® is the premiere building toy, preferred by kids and adults (AFOLs) everywhere. We're no exception, we love them too. We happened across some brand new, sealed, retired, Master Builder Academy™ 20214 Adventure Designer sets and we couldn't...

The original Joy Buzzer was called the Joke Buzzer (1932 U.S. patent #1845735, Soren Adams) and it replaced the more dangerous Zapper, which is lost to time, more's the pity. Our standard wind-up model is a 1-3/8" dia circle of perennial vibrating fun,...
