A young mother-of-two has issued a warning about a toy all parents should avoid buying before Christmas if they want a clean home.
Emily SkyeGold Coast fitness trainer and model, revealed that she “instantly regretted” buying the sticky, stretchy rubber animal toys after they ended up on her roof.
“I made a big mistake,” he said in a video.
‘I bought the kids these sticky dinosaurs that you put on your finger and move through the air, and they’re like jelly.
‘Now they are stuck on my roof and I can’t, for the life of me, get them down.
‘I don’t have a ladder high enough… What a nightmare.’
The video shows several animal figures attached to Emily’s ceiling inside her family’s home.
While some of them fell, the mother said they left a stain of color and grease on her ceiling.

Several animal figures are attached to Emily’s ceiling and although some fell, the mother said they left a stain of color and grease on the ceiling.
Emily Skye is a fitness trainer and model from the Gold Coast.
Emily’s husband had to create a long pole to try to remove the toys from the ceiling.
Some moms shared Emily’s pain.
“My kids put lizard ones in a party bag and the color transferred, so we ended up with colorful lizard shapes on our ceiling,” said one.
“I have these on my roof too,” one mother added. “They leave sticky marks.”
“They also took the paint off our ceiling,” wrote another. “What a nightmare.”
One of them offered some comfort: “Eventually they will fall.” Maybe in a few years. I had a rat like them, which took about three years to fall off.
But children are not the only ones to blame for toys.
‘One year we had them in Christmas crackers and, as a family, we threw them on the roof on top of our lunch.
“A month later, my stepdad repainted the ceiling because of the stains.”
“90 percent of the sticky toys on the roof of Kmart are thrown by adults,” observed another.

Emily revealed she “regrets” buying animal toys that stick to surfaces, like the ceiling.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened: Shoppers previously discovered a “strange” phenomenon at Kmart stores across the country.
Hundreds of mini sticky toys were pinned to the ceiling above the children’s section of a Kmart store in Penrith.
“This is the ceiling over the toy section of my Kmart,” said one woman, sharing a photo of the crime scene.
“Obviously the kids have a game of trying to throw sticky toys at the ceiling.”
Dozens of people across the country reported a similar occurrence at their local stores.
