Description
This box of plastic toy figures holds ten creepy crawlies, mixing a variety of insects with a spider and a scorpion. Each one is moulded with plenty of texture, from jointed legs and twitchy-looking antennae to ridged backs and the scorpion's curling tail, so they look convincingly real when one turns up somewhere unexpected. This is an assorted line: the figures in each box are picked at random, so we can't promise a particular creature or colour, only a lively mix of ten. Boxed, the set is 17.1cm long, 13.5cm wide and 3.3cm deep, and weighs just 104g.
They are made for play: lining them up for a bug parade, sorting them into insects and the rest, building a minibeast scene across the floor, or hiding the spider in a slipper for a well-timed fright. Counting, matching and naming games come naturally, and the spider and scorpion make a handy talking point about which creatures are insects and which are not. Because the box is slim and light, it slips easily into a bag for a rainy afternoon away from home or a long journey, and it suits a nature table or a shelf of curiosities just as well as the toy box.
Every figure is made of plastic, and a quick wipe with a damp cloth, followed by a moment to dry, keeps them clean between games. The box is decorated with bold drawings of beetles and has a window in the front, so the creepy crawlies peer out before it is even opened; that makes it an easy present to hand over with no wrapping needed and a fun surprise to unpack. Keep the box afterwards for tidying the figures away, so the whole crawling crew stays together and ready for the next outing.
