Description
This box holds two plastic shark finger catapults, one in a bright blue and one in a soft grey, each shaped as a toothy shark with a dorsal fin, side fins and a forked tail. The mouths are open in a wide grin lined with small white teeth, and a little eye sits on each side of the head, so they look the part even resting on a desk. The underside is hollow, which is where your finger goes. They measure 10.6cm long, 4cm wide and 3.6cm high and weigh next to nothing, so the pair slips easily into a pocket, a pencil case or a desk drawer.
Using one takes a moment to learn: hook the hollow head over a fingertip, draw the tail back with your other hand, then let go and the shark launches off your finger. That makes them a cheerful bit of play for the office, the study or the kitchen table, a quick break between tasks or a friendly contest over whose shark goes further. With a blue and a grey in the box there is one each, so nobody waits their turn, and the two colours make it easy to tell whose is whose when they land. Between rounds they sit happily on a shelf as a pair of grinning desk companions.
Each shark is moulded in plastic with a smooth matt finish, the gill lines and fins shaped into the body and the teeth picked out in white. They come in a small illustrated box that keeps the pair together when they are not in use. To keep them clean, wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry before boxing them again. As a small gift, the box is ready to wrap as it is, and it makes a fun extra to tuck in beside a bigger present.
