Description
This squidgy animal toy takes the form of a plump little capybara, made from soft synthetic rubber and sized to sit snugly in your palm. Its body is a warm caramel brown, with a darker chocolate brown on the round nose, the tips of the ears, two small eye spots, the little arms and the feet. A tiny pressed Y shape marks the nose, and the whole figure sits upright on its own two feet with a pleasingly chubby, pear-shaped body. It stands 8cm tall, 5cm wide and 5.3cm from front to back, and weighs just 0.06KG, so it is light enough to carry in a pocket or bag without a second thought.
We think it earns its place anywhere a hand wants something to hold: on a desk at work, beside the computer at home, on a bedside table or tucked into a coat pocket for the commute. The squidgy synthetic rubber gives under a squeeze, which makes it a satisfying thing to turn over and press while you think, read or wait for the kettle. It is a toy first and foremost, and a cheerful one, so it is just as happy at playtime as it is keeping you company through a long afternoon. That round, friendly face tends to raise a smile wherever it sits.
It is made from synthetic rubber, with its darker brown markings set in neat, soft-edged patches against a smooth matt surface. To keep it looking fresh, wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally; as with most rubber pieces, it is best kept away from direct heat and sharp objects. Small, light and full of character, it makes a lovely little gift on its own, and we like it tucked into a gift bag or alongside a card as a cheerful surprise for someone who could do with a smile.
