30 yr. old 'squeaky' thing-a-ma-bob
 

I have been asked to replicate an inter-active applique I made almost 30 yrs. ago. Problem is, it had one of those 'squeaky' things in it - when you squeeze it, it makes a sound something like the noise maker in today's dog toys.

Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase the 'squeaky' thing-a-ma-bob? :)

Purchase an inexpensive dog toy that has one in it and take it out to use. Sometimes the dollar tree has them.

I was thinking of doing that but as I recall the ones I used were listed as 'washable' - I don't think the dog toy ones would be rated that way.

BTW The 30 yr. item still 'sqeaks' - after countless washings - and is currently being used by the 2nd generation. :)

The ones in dog toys are a rubber type that should be machine washable

you might check Hobby Lobby or google it

i have washed my dogs toys and yes they are washable and still work
i do not put in dryer. but they with stand washing.

Michaels had them at christmas.

Yes the dog toy ones are washable. I wash my dog's toys all the time. It's a plastic bubble thing.

lynnie,

Do you recall a name for this thing-a-ma-bob? :)

I googled 'sqeeky toy insert' and got lots of hits. Here's just one
