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.

*It may have been a "Thingmaker" version.
When I was a little girl I had a child size iron. Yes....an iron for ironing clothes.
I guess the toy makers thought that by making it small for small hands....it was a toy. LOL!
That sucker got hot. I mean HOT!
My parents, not being total idiots, told me not to mess with it when I was alone. That, of course, was an open invitation for a kid.
I plugged it in and proceeded to “iron” the carpet. Got bored and left it on said carpet.
Almost burned the house down.
The iron burn imprint was there for many years. A reminder for my parents that I was not to be trusted.
Good times.
