Loved Creepy Crawlers, I wanted one soooo bad as a kid, but because I was a girl mom got me an Easy Bake Oven... Friend had one though! He made me gummies and I made him cakes! lol
You can be a little creep, without being bad!
I made so many scary critter with this.
Wow! I loved this toy! You could make all sorts of weird insects in different colors. The colors came in tubes. I remember wondering how a little bulb could actually harden the gummy stuff. There were even sets where you could attach a mechanism to make your creepy crawler grasshopper jump like the real thing
even tho i was a girl my mom still got me this. it was so so so awesome and i loved the freakin thing!!!
i used to put them between my sheets when company came over and slept in my bed muahahahaha
I still remember the smell of the rubber cement that was used to make these
The colors came in plastic squirt bottles for me, if memory serves well. But they did stink and took forever. I had like 3 of the metal plates, kept me amused for a very long time.
Screw Easy Bake Oven, this was AWESOME! I always ate the batter before it cooked anyway. Creepy Crawlers were awesome!!!
I only ever made one set of these. I still to this day find some Creepy Crawlers around the house. I wonder whatever happened to my Creepy Crawlers oven.
I remeber chasing my baby niece around the house with these. My baby niece is now 18 and married heh.
i used to make these with my babysitter. i loved her.
Great. Now the theme song is running through my head!
my brother and i had these, we just recently got rid of the set, i think it didn't work anymore, and we didn't have any of the goo left. my brother and i would always fight over who got to play with it. i burned the crap out of myself on the metal molds many many times
I always thought these were so cool. I didn't have one but my uncle had one. I still remember the smell!
Loved this! it was so neat but they should still make them!
my bro and I just found ours in the attic and actually made some about a month ago. I remember finding these things laying all over the house.
There's another version of this -- the "gross-eries" maker, or something. It made actual edible gummies, rather than the rubber ones.
THe edible ones tasted so good!! I could not wait to eat them after they cooled in the fridge.
yep, can't get the commercial song out of my head now. hilarious.
oh yeah..thought i was going to scare my older brother with all these creepy crawlers....didnt really work. but hey, it worked on alll the adults
They're squirmy, they're wormy...they're purple and green. They're the grossest little creeps that you've ever seen...Creeeeepy craaawlers!!
I couldn't get one because my kid sister would freak out just from the commercial!!
This toy came out in the 60's! I'm 54 and I had one when I was around 8. They were awesome!!! I'm a girl and had a great time with it. Still remember the smell and getting burned on the metal plates.
OMG! I haven't thought about this in 20 yrs. My brother and myself spent a million hours cooking up bugs and worms! It was a blast at that time.
Smelled sooooo bad! But and awesome toy!
I had the original that came out in 1964 or 65. I used to make stuff for kids at school, especially pins. I sold them for 10-50 cents, depending on size, and by how many colors were in the item. I had a good business going for quite a while.
