Thank the gods that I'm entering my dotage. I can enjoy all these new toys without feeling guilty.

it looks safer that the creepy crawler oven thing my son had. like kdp said the thing heated up way too hot for kids to play with. thankfully he got bored with it rather quickly.

Scout, I had that Creepy Crawler set, too, and I loved it. I must've gone through 12 big bottles of Goop over about 3 years. It was damned dangerous at first, but once kids got used to doing it right, there was no problem. I would've loved this Strange-Change machine, just never saw it as a kid in New Jersey.

Two of them available on ebay right now along with a host of extra little creepy crawly creatures! Bid early and bid often - owe, that's voting - sorry. Got carried away!

df, did you see the story about liqud, or gel like kevlar that hardens if it receives an impact?
