Wind Up Critters

$15 ~~$30~~ In stock

These playful mechanical objects are both humorous and unpredictable in behavior. Watch as they jump, dance, and walk, moving their exposed exoskeletons.

Mirrored in each one is a particular passion that the designer has for creatures not looked at with "respect" by humans, such as insects with no particular aesthetic appeal.

Wind Up Creatures combine form, function, and fun all in one mechanism. A perfect gift for those who have everything.

The exposed little gears and springs on this thing are oddly mesmerizing, and it walks in this jerky sideways shuffle that made my whole desk laugh. Wound it up maybe twenty times the first day just to watch it dance. Simple, weird, and exactly the kind of gift that gets passed around the office.

I got this for my nephew's birthday and ended up playing with it on the kitchen table for way longer than he did. The way the exposed little skeleton jumps and dances around is genuinely funny to watch. It's a quirky gift that doesn't feel cheap.
