Pulled this Magic Tree package out of hall closet at Mom's -- package dated 1981, $1.50 price sticker. Figured it would be worth a try for "Auntie Camp" with my nieces. I think I am more impressed, but it did garner some smiles....there was some electronic competition (Leapster), but wonder did occur to some degree. Packet contained less than a teaspoon of salt-like grains and this tree shape in paper to slot together. Put salt type stuff in glass, 1 teaspoon of water, then the tree on top....in less than two hours we had this.
The Pushmi-Pullyu ("push-me - pull-you) (Dr Dolittle) stuffed animal I showed her earlier perhaps was my most thought provoking element of "Auntie Camp" -- went to find a video of "Push-Me-Pull-Me" on YouTube, and the creature does look quite real. I remember receiving Pushmi-Pullyu quite some time ago...I think he came in a yellow box, clear on top. Nice that Mom hangs onto some things....especially at her house!
