Description
These fake cockroaches come ten to a box, each one made from reddish brown TPU plastic with long, fine antennae, spindly legs and a dark body that fades to a translucent amber at the edges. They are lifelike enough to make anyone look twice. Each cockroach is about 7cm long and 2.5cm wide, though sizes may vary a little from one to the next. All ten live in a slide-out box in the style of an old matchbox, 11cm long, 8.1cm wide and 2cm deep, with a turquoise top covered in illustrated cockroaches above a red band and a yellow ribbon reading Box of 10 Cockroaches.
This is a toy made for mischief, and we think the fun is all in the hiding. Tuck one under a pillow, leave one by the kettle, slip another into a slipper or a kitchen drawer, then wait for someone to find it. With ten in the box, the joke can carry on around the house for days. They are just as good for pretend play or a creepy-crawly corner on a bookshelf. Because the box shouts about what is inside, it makes an easy little gift that raises a laugh before it is even opened, and it fits neatly into a gift bag.
Every cockroach is made from TPU plastic, and the box has a sliding inner tray that keeps all ten together between pranks. At just 2cm deep, it slips easily into a coat pocket, a bag or a desk drawer, so the next surprise is never far away. To keep them looking their best, wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry before they go back in the box. For the biggest reaction, we suggest placing just one where it will be spotted first, then letting the rest turn up one at a time over the following days.
