Subject: HELP: Name That Toy!

Written By: Mike Krechmer on 05/26/04 at 3:09 pm

Anyone remember these toy plush worms that came with an attached string, and as you pulled the string the worm (caterpillar?) wound itself around things? they were like 6" long and came in several colors.

I vaguely remember something of that ilk from the 70's called 'Squirbles' (sp?)...attached to a bit of cotton thread, it gave the illusion that this 'thing' was slithering all over you...

Amazing what kept our minds occupied years ago...!

I was thinking the same thing as Paul. Actually, recently at the Royal agricultural winter fair I saw a booth that was selling them. So they are still around.
