Mr. Potato Head

Those eyes! That nose! Those unforgettable ears! Who'd have thought Mr. Potato Head would enjoy such a long and distinguished career?Originally introduced in 1952, it was the first toy advertised on television, and its popularity sent children running into the kitchen to beg a potato from Mom.

Now the beloved spud gets the royal treatment in this special 50th anniversary kit, containing new and improved 50th anniversary facial parts, potato, and body, plus a wonderfully entertaining full-color book on the history of one of America's favorite playthings.

With enormous nostalgic appeal, this kit appeals to everyone from adults who owned a Mr. Potato Head kit in the 1950s to a new generation of youngsters drawn to a simple toy that encourages fun, imaginative play.

Art Of The Bonsai Potato

Our Bonsai Potato takes 4 to 6 weeks to grow, versus a lifetime for a traditional bonsai tree-and the potato does all the work, since it requires no sun, water, or fertilizer. This tongue-in-cheek kit is a humorous poke at Western culture's desire for inner peace and tranquility coupled with our hunger for instant gratification and chronic lack of time. Now, at least a semblance of inner harmony can be achieved in a fraction of the time it takes to nurture a real bonsai. Potato not included!
