DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS GADGET?

[cmuir]

Hi

 

I'm looking to get my son 'something'. Haven't a clue what you'd call it, but it was used in a Midge Ure/Ultravox video. It was a boxed type of thing where you could put your hand or face on it and it would leave an impression. Looked almost like needles (obviously not sharp). You could shake it and it would all fall back into place. It wasn't very big. My son saw one and was fascinated by it, but person couldn't recall where they got it. Does this ring any bells?

Caroline Hi

 

We've got one, but a smaller size. A friend gave it to us a few years back. I think he bought it from "Gadget Shop"one of those grown-up toy shops that most shopping centres have. Rehards KHK

Fantastic!

 

Thanks everyone. Because I don't even know what you'd call them I was having difficulty searching the web. Found lots now. Robert will be delighted when I get one! He was apparently fascinated with it during his ADOS assessment.

 

Thanks again.

Smiled when I read the post about ADOS -the specialists must have a private supply of gadgets and gizmos to atract our children.Our wonderful SLT found a spinning disc in a shop and posted it for Ben- he was so fascinated by her's and she was lucky to get it back when she finished the ADOS. Karen.

Robert's pinpressions gadget arrived yesterday morning and he loves it! Great to see him so happy after all the c**p that's happened over the past three days over him starting school.
