Classic Toys

Here’s a fidget toy you can fidget with while you’re fidgeting! This bright, multi-colored ring expands and retracts, from 5" dia to just under 10”, and works well as a flying disc or halo-like headpiece. Its shapes, colors and...

This fidget toy doesn’t spin, and that’s the appeal. It’s a Magnetic Magic Cube that measures 2-1/2” on all sides, it being a cube and all. But it’s changeable since it’s made up of lots of angled pieces, and can be...

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...

Does anyone really need to be told what a Slinky® is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it...

And we say that with a history of silly that’s virtually unmatched. You slip on this pair of lens-less glasses with the tiny bucket and ball on a string attached, and try, while looking like a demented chipmunk, to swing the little ball on its cord...

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...

Back in the days when technology was a good guy, and cereal boxes came with real toys, kids got diving submarines that they charged with baking powder and played with in the bath tub. Now kids can have the same fun again. We have found a (gray!)...

He was born Marion Walter Jacobs, and in his sweet home Chicago he changed the way the harmonica was played. They called him Little Walter, and his blues harps were standard size, but oh, how he would have loved this Little Harmonica from the folks at...

You're buying the drinks and this wacky, yet debonair, bird with a top hat and plastic base (7" tall OA) can't get his fill of water. Get him started, and he dips his beak into your glass repeatedly. How? Fluid inside his glass body condenses from the...

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...

Ten furlongs are condensed to (7) inches, with very small horses, in the Desktop Derby, a 6-horse straight track that lets you win money while you teach the children the evils of pari-mutuel betting. The electric track pulsates and moves the nags along...

We’re making them right at you—so you can make something googly and goofy with them. Bags come in assorted sizes, and colors of pupil and is just as jiggly as a good googly eye should be. You already know what to do with them.

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"...

You can’t cut your hair, or anything, with this switchblade-like device because when the “blade” flips out, West Side Story-like, it’s actually a comb. Measures 9” overall when the comb is out, 4-1/2” when folded...

When someone asks you to bring out the big guns, leave these in the drawer. Called the World’s Smallest Laser Guns, these (2) space blaster-looking guns have white bodies and either blue or red highlights. They’re not actual laser guns, and...

Oh, it’s Bozo! Then again, who else would be on a Bozo the Clown Pen? Features a (4)- blade windmill with Bozo himself on each of the blades. Wind up the propeller and it spins so fast and efficiently it actually throws a little breeze. You can...

Coolest science exercise toy ever! A (blue) ball is mounted on an axle inside of a (2-3/4") transparent sphere. Start the inner ball whirling with the included string (getting a great laugh out of the poorly translated instructions along the way). You...

Replace your capotain (aka “pilgrim hat”) this year with the actual star of the show, Tom Turkey himself. He’s fuzzy and soft—and cute, not creepy—in turkey tan with big white and black eyes, a red caruncle and wattle, a...

It's a magical 2-1/2" dia, radial, spiral-ish, plastic, rainbow-design, stair-walking toy that most definitely does not make the classic, zippy, jangly, metal slinkish sounds you may or may not have experienced in another toy. But this one is definitely...

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.

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...

Say hello to some of the coolest toys we’ve seen in a while. These lacquered wooden beauties are multi-segmented, flexible and wiggleable, and just as beautiful as they are fun to play with. You pick: the 6" tall squirrel with the (7) hinged body...

Almost everyone—OK, a good portion of the population—knows that sharks don’t have fingers. This bite-sized, very flexible and expressive shark finger puppet is big enough to fit over your (2) fingers but small enough to pose no threat...

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,...

There's optical science and high school physics, and then there's making pretty colors with this little 4-1/2" x about 1" equilateral acrylic prism. It makes the same rainbows that the beveled edges on the glass in the French doors to your grandmother's...

We’re talking to you, rubber ducky, and all your friends, too. These assorted rubber duckies measure 2-1/4" dia x 1-3/4" tall, and come in a variety of themes, including sports (basketball, baseball, soccer and football), medical (nurse in blue...

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...

2" flywheel in a well-made metal frame. The trick is the same as it has been for 100 years. Wind the string through the spindle, pull it firmly to set the flywheel spinning, and perform effortless balancing magic on pencil tips, string tightropes, and...

Compress your own air, then let this emergency air horn rip. Why pay for cans of compressed (it’s air, for Pete’s sake) that will probably be empty when you need them anyway. This 5-1/4” tall x 2-3/16” dia pump mates with a red...

Yo, you might look at this classic yo-yo, which measures a little over 2" dia and think, yeah, it’s a classic yo-yo—nothing special. But then you might look further and notice that it lights up! Move over, kid—let an old pro show you...

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...

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,...

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...
