I adore little wind ups, they are very addictive! I had a HUGE box of them once. Noggin Bops makes a lot of these windups, here is a great shop which sells them:

This website also has some great retro tin windups too!

When I was teaching, the students loved to come in during office hours and take them out to play with in the hallway while they were waiting to get their questions answered. It was a tripping hazard :)
