The 3^rd boxed variety of Creepy Crawlers, I call the "Play Maker Pak". Dated 1968. I compare it to a Play Pak, if one existed for Creepy Crawlers, the only difference is that this variety also includes an oven. The box is smaller & flatter then the regular Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker, and there are fewer bugs pictured on the box top. The inside is also plastic, as opposed to Styrofoam. There are only 5 molds in this set. The bugs that you can make with the included molds, are pictured on the box top. The other bugs were actually removed off the box top, and duplicates of the bugs that were included were painted on. Why did they do that?

The 2 boxes side by side comparison. The original 1964 set is on the left. Click for a close-up.

Notice the insects with wings were taken off the cover art, but the mold was included. I think that might be the only "partial" mistake. I say partially, because the other bugs are accurate, and notice the dragonfly without wings is still on the table next to the oven. They even took the butterfly away from the girl, and made her holding a horned toad or lizard instead. Another weird thing, they included 3 small bottles of goop, and one larger one. Although, with my set, I got a bug bottle of green, instead of the pictured black "teardrop" bottle.

Another interesting note: The stock number is also different from the regular Creepy Crawlers set. It became stock # 4578

The five molds that were included. Notice they are the Variety 2 molds.

Numbers: 4477-052, 053, 055, 058 & 059

Here's a picture of the two together for comparison.
