Description
This wind-up dinosaur toy is a long-necked brontosaurus in sandy tan plastic, with rich chestnut brown shading that runs along its back, down its neck and over its head, and darker patches on its legs and flanks. The skin is textured all over with fine scaled ridges, the tail tapers to a slender point and the head carries small dark eyes. It stands squarely on four sturdy legs, with a little winding key on its side. It measures 18.7cm long, 5cm wide and 5.7cm tall, so it sits easily in the palm of a hand.
Wind the key, set it down and watch it go: that simple bit of fun is the whole appeal. It is a toy made for play on a kitchen table, a desk or the playroom floor, and between games it makes a cheerful little figure for a bedroom shelf or a windowsill. The detailed sculpting means it looks good standing still as well, so it earns a place among books and keepsakes long after the winding stops. Weighing about 33 grams, it is light enough to tuck into a bag for a car journey or a rainy afternoon away from home.
It is made from plastic and metal, and the moulded body keeps its textured detail and warm brown tones from nose to tail. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth, let it dry and store it on a shelf or in a toy box when play is over. As a small gift it is easy to wrap and fun to unwrap, whether on its own or tucked in beside a favourite picture book about the age of the dinosaurs.
