Glo Worms

Glo Worm was a stuffed toy for young children, designed by Hasbro’s Playskool division, and made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Introduced in 1982, the plush body contained a battery-powered device that, when squeezed, would light up the toy’s vinyl bottom from within, creating a soft glow.

Since the original toy was such a success, Hasbro released a series of story books, night lights, videos and other merchandise that continued until the early 1990s.

   My sister carried that worm around for years. I just got our lil’ son the new seahorse that glows. It’s 100x’s better than the worm!

   I had the musical glow worm, I remember that very well. I also remember having to squeeze the thing so hard I about had a hernia trying to get it to light up. Wasn’t so easy to do while I was trying to drift off to sleep.

   I’m 35 & still have my original Glo-Worm.

   It doesn’t have the battery case though; left the batteries in so the acid ate the thing. I’m just glad I found it in time to save the toy!
