A young mother-of-two has issued a warning about a toy every parent should avoid buying before Christmas if they want a clean house.

Emily Skyea fitness trainer and model from the Gold Coast, revealed that she “instantly regretted” buying sticky, bouncy animal toys after they ended up on her ceiling.

“I made a big mistake,” she said in a video.

“I bought the kids these gooey dinosaur things that you put on your finger and throw in the air and they’re like jelly.

“Now they’re stuck on my ceiling and I can’t – for the life of me – get them off.

“I don’t have a tall enough ladder… What a nightmare.”

The video shows several animal figurines taped to Emily’s ceiling in her family home.

As some of them fell, the mother said they left a greasy, colored stain on her roof.

Emily’s husband had to create a long stick to try to get the toys off the ceiling.

Several mothers shared Emily’s grief.

“My kids took it in a party bag and the color transferred – so we ended up with colorful lizard shapes on the ceiling,” said one.

“I have them on the roof too,” added one mother. – Leaves sticky marks.

“They also took the paint off our ceiling,” wrote another. – What a nightmare.

One offered some comfort: “They will fall eventually. Maybe in a few years. I had a rat like them, it took me about three years to fall off.

But kids aren’t the only ones to blame for toys.

“We got them in Christmas crackers one year and as a family threw them on the roof over our lunch.

“The stepfather repainted the roof a month later because of the stains.”

“90% of the sticky toys on the Kmart ceiling are thrown away by adults,” observed another.

It’s not the first time something like this has happened – shoppers have previously discovered a “strange” phenomenon at Kmart stores across the country.

Hundreds of sticky mini toys have been stuck to the ceiling above the children’s section at a Kmart store in Penrith.

“This is the roof over the toy section of my Kmart,” one woman said, sharing a photo of the crime scene.

“Obviously the kids have a game of trying to throw sticky toys on the roof.”

Dozens of people across the country have reported a similar occurrence at their local stores.
