I got an Easy Bake Oven from Santa instead. This was during the 60s and 70s, years later when one of my daughter's really wanted a 'boy' type toy, as long as I could afford it, I bought them the darn toy.

The local zoo had them all over the place so you could get multiple critters made right before your eyes.

I had several of them. I remember them well.
