My son and I made some creepy crawly bugs the other night with the Creepy Crawlers Workshop. It was pretty fun coloring and creating the bugs. My son made one for each of his friends.
The Creepy Crawlers Workshop is a toy classic that’s been around since 1960. Back to Basics Toys features the workshop, plus tons of other classic toys and games.
The creepy crawlies are easy to make, just pour in the goop, stick them in the Creepy Crawly Workshop oven, and bake them for about 10 minutes, then let them cool. My son had fun making each one a unique color combination.
You just need a 60 watt light bulb to fire up the oven. It has several safety features including a lock on the oven so it can’t be opened until it’s completely cooled.
Here’s one of the bugs my son made.
The kit includes the oven, 2 molds to make 5 bugs, 4 bottles of goop, a cooling tray, and a mold handler.
