CREEPY CRAWLERS!!!!
I loved that toy. I asked for one for my birthday. My dad kept telling me it wasn’t for girls. But of course he bought me one anyway.
I grew up in the seventies. Great time for toys. My dad always bought me great stuff. Kites, bikes, etc. Made me the best forts. I sure do miss that old man.
My sister wanted - and got - Creepy Crawlers* too! I had gotten a Mattel Vac-u-form a couple years earlier, but she had no interest in that.
The most lasting legacy of that toy of hers was the spot on her carpet made by some spilled Plastigoop. That stain was still in there when mom & dad moved.
