Bambi Thumper Rabbit Money Box with Rear Coin Slot - Grey

This Thumper money box brings the much-loved rabbit from Bambi to a child's shelf. He sits up with his front paws folded neatly over his chest and his head tipped a little to one side with a shy, cheeky smile. He is soft grey all over, with white cheeks, a tufted white chest and a paler tummy, a small pink nose, pink inside his ears and big brown eyes, plus a round, tufted tail at the back. The whole piece has a matt finish, so the colours look gentle and calm rather than glossy. He stands 15.5cm tall, 10cm wide and 9.2cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a shelf or bedside table without crowding it.

We think he suits a nursery or a child's bedroom best, perched on a shelf, a chest of drawers or a windowsill where he can keep a friendly eye on the room. He makes a thoughtful gift for a baby or toddler up to three years old. He is an equally welcome one for children aged three to twelve who are starting to save their pocket money. For the very youngest he is a keepsake that a grown-up fills on their behalf, a sweet way to begin putting coins aside from the start, while older children can add to their own savings, coin by coin.

The coin slot sits at the back of Thumper's head, so his face stays neat and uncluttered from the front. He sits upright on his own feet, so there is nothing to hang or fix. To keep the matt finish looking its best, dust him with a soft dry cloth. If needed, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth, then dry; we would avoid polishes and harsh cleaners. As a gift, drop a few coins in through the slot before wrapping, so the saving has already begun when the paper comes off.

No, he sits upright on his own feet on any flat shelf or surface, so there is nothing to hang on a wall or fix in place.

Dust him with a soft dry cloth and, if needed, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry; we would avoid harsh cleaners and polishes on the matt finish.
