Toys TOYS

Thingmaker

The Thingmaker was a toy made by Mattel which comprised a hot plate on to which you poured a kind of rubbery goop inside metal molds. The goop would set in the heat and you would end up with rubbery toys that you had made yourself. A whole range of different molds were available including creepy crawlies, spiders, soldiers, flowers and weird looking people. The Thingmaker was a dangerous toy but back then we didn't even think about that - it was just cool to make your own stuff!
