We had all the fun toys in the 70’s. Remember the Shaker Maker craft kits from Ideal Toy Co.? “It’s fun… It’s silly… It’s fantastic… Collect ’em… Trade ’em, they’re wild.”

The Shaker Maker kits came with plastic molds for animals and characters that you would pour in the “Magic Mix.” After a few minutes, you could remove the creation from the mold, but it would take days for it to dry completely, and shrink to its final size. Then you would have a whole new toy to paint and play with–the fun just never stopped!
