From the era of Michael Jackson, parachute pants and unbelievable permed hair came some wonderfully fun childrens’ gloves — Freezy Freakies.
These inexpensive gloves had one feature that every kid could love — they changed color to reveal hidden designs when they got cold. The Freezy Freakies disappeared around the time I got my first email address and have been unseen since. Until now.
Freezy Freakies are now fund raising on Kickstarter with what we’re guessing will be an easy goal of $10,000. Just a couple days into the campaign, they’ve already raised $3,500.

The new version of the gloves has some modern touches: a soft microfleece lining and a warm Thinsulate mid-layer. Of course, they change color like the gloves of old using a fairly simple ink technology: “Thermochromic Ink.” The ink is transparent at room temperature, but turns colorful at cold temperatures.
