I have been so impressed by the Growing Alligator experiment by the Boy Family Rules that I felt the need to conduct my own growing experiment. There's one place in Chicago where I was confident they would have Chinese made toxic sponge rubber products that would grow 600% when left in water. I was not disappointed. Uncle Fun had a whole rack of such items. Among the growing items I had to choose from were; growing hands, brains, therapists, men, women, pinatas, lizards, geeks, flamingos, and voodoo dolls (complete with pins).I had to go with the voodoo doll.
This experiment with "Mr. Market" is now under way.
I felt compelled to name him before fully grown to get the maximum hex effect.
Check back on Mr. Market's progress.

They say that copying is the highest form of flattery - or something like that...I am thrilled that Michael's toy has brought so much enjoyment to everyone and we look forward to watching Mr. Market grow. He is very cool! Be ready to feel like a kid again.
And just a thought -- you need to start looking for a bigger home for him if he is going to grow 600X bigger!
BTW, I just noticed that the label notes that it is the 47th in the series??!!! There has to be a whole underground movement out there that we are embarking upon.
They had at least 20 of the series of somewhere over 100. They were lacking in many body parts, but I'm sure a little web research would uncover many of them.
I will certainly heed the advice on the growing vessel. The wine glass was nice to start because of the aquarium effect.
