NO! Don't Squish Them! It's your favorite Toy Store People! Not creepy costumed cockroaches!
Ok. So they *are* costumed cockroaches. But they aren't creepy, they're creative! While Once Upon a Toy may be the home of the $.35 Cockroach, these folks are worth Wayyy more than that! In fact, when they help you find that perfect gift, they're priceless!
Once Upon a Toy celebrated Halloween by scurrying through downtown Edwardsville as part of the 2009 Halloween parade. This year, there were over 100 entries that included floats, marching bands, and local civic groups. While other floats pelted the crowd with candy, our band of bugs flung bouncy balls and teensy insects. We hear the cockroaches were in high demand. And are now being used to freak out unsuspecting family members. Like your mom. Who tends to shriek if she sees it on the counter.
Candy is gone in a flash. Practical Jokes last forever! Next time you're in one of our stores, remember to ask to see the critters that can cause a loved one to freak!
