Just Add Water and Kooky Christmas Decorations Rise Up

magictree_front.jpgPlace some bare framwork festooned with folded paper into the included petri dish, add water, and a few hours later you have these elaborate Christmas decorations bursting forth as if by magic. It reminds us of compressing a straw wrapper, then adding a few drops of water—and voila! It turns into a squirming worm. Looks like a Japan-only decora-toy, but fun enough to make it to these shores eventually. There’s one for Valentine’s Day, too. See the gallery below for before and after pics. [Tokyo Mango]

    They sell something very similar, and by similar I mean exactly the same, at the store called Socrates. I assume most other “mind enhancing” stores, like the Discovery store and others would sell the same things. We grabbed an Xmas tree for my niece. Not too bad for $10.

    They did not seem to have the snowman though.
