Toys: What are those little ball things with mini toys in it called?

[LexyLou]

I'm searching amazon for hanukkah/christmas gifts and I can't remember what those little tiny ball things with the little figurines inside are called. I saw them at costco, I believe there was hello kitty, cars, and princesses. My kids saw them on TV too.

Any idea?

Squinkies?

i dont know, i just googled this but are you looking for squinkies?

[LexyLou]

Yes!!! I tried googling and I couldn't get it to come up! These things look so stupid and something that will just get lost in the playroom but eh, they want them!

Thank you!!!

I thought the same thing, but MAN does my 4 year old LOVE them... she keeps them in a basket in her room, and rarely, if ever do they get lost!!!

Just saw on SD, 50 of these for $19.98 and FS at TRU: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10816463&prodFindSrc=search
Not that you necessarily want 50, LOL!

I call them a choking hazard within a choking hazard. Lula LOVES them. I suppose Dolly does too, but in a chewy sort of way. ;) Eeeeeeeeeew.
