Subject: Do you guys remember the commercials for skip it and creepy crawlers?

Written By: erick on 09/22/05 at 1:47 pm

I remember the toy skip it. You would attach the toy to your ankle and swing it around and skip. The commercial song was like this "skip it, skip it" I remember the creepy crawlers commercials. There would be a kid freaking out his parents or grandma with bugs and stuff. It had an oven where you made the bugs. CREEEEEEPY CRAWLERS

I also remember the crocodile mile. I had one of these and we use to slide across it. They also had commercial for this. It would be cool for someone to tell me where i can find these commercials.

I remember all those commercials, having watched a lot of kid-oriented programs in the late 80's and early 90's. I never went out and actually got the toys, though.

I remember the commercials for both of those.  I got a skip-it in '97 I think (never had the creepy crawler machine though).  I remember like a year later they came out with a skip-it that would make bubbles when it was turned, that was a little high-tech for me though, lol.

I think I recall another CREEPY toy/critter maker called 'FEELY MEALIES' which were like edible creepy crawlers made with a 'THING MASTER'..

Ah those were the days, letting kids play with make and bake ovens(with a lightbulb as the heater) and a plug in 'Thing maker machine' your basic hot plate.

My older cousin had a creepy crawlers machine and I thought it was badass. I personally went for the Dr. Dreadful food and drink labs, they were awesome.
