5 Little Ducks Wooden Mantel Photo Frame with Stand - Blue

This wooden photo frame welcomes a new baby with a gentle nursery rhyme scene: a mother duck leads her five little ducklings along a pale blue border shaped like rippling water. The words 'Hello Little One' run across the top of the white surround in soft, multicoloured letters, and the line 'Five little ducks went swimming one day, over the hills and far away' is printed along the border. Small details fill the scene, from a sun peeping over green hills to a butterfly, a bee and a frog on a lily pad. The ducks are cut-out shapes that rise just above the border, giving the picture a touch of depth. The frame is 21.3cm across and holds a landscape photograph at its centre.

It makes a thoughtful new baby gift, ready to hold a first photograph from those early days, and it suits a little one from birth to three years as a keepsake for their room. We like it on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a mantelpiece, where the soft pastel blues, yellows and browns sit happily alongside calm, gentle colours. As a keepsake rather than a toy, it is best placed on a shelf or surface out of small hands' reach, where the whole family can enjoy it.

The frame is made of wood, finished in white with the pale blue border and printed details, and it is only 2cm deep, so it takes up little room. At the back, an easel stand lets it stand on its own with no need for a nail in the wall, and four swivel clips hold the backing board, so changing the photograph takes moments. Dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from damp to look after the wood. Slip a favourite newborn photograph inside before you wrap it, and it is ready to give.
