Description

This slide whistle is a classic wooden toy with a cheerful, old-fashioned look and a sound that never fails to raise a smile. Its body is a smooth cylinder of pale natural wood, banded near each end with a pair of bright red stripes. A slim wooden plunger slides in and out of one end, finished with a chunky red knob that is easy to grip. At the other end sits the angled mouthpiece with its open sound window, just as a whistle should be. It measures 14cm long and 2.8cm across, so it sits comfortably in the hand and slips easily into a coat pocket.

Blow into the mouthpiece and draw the plunger back and forth, and the note swoops up and down with it, from a low hoot to a high whistle: exactly the fun and silly sounds a slide whistle is loved for. It is a toy for playing rather than a precision instrument, and that is the joy of it. We think it earns its place in a music basket, in a box of traditional wooden toys, or in a games cupboard ready for an afternoon of making noise together. For anyone who enjoys a simple, screen-free plaything with a bit of retro charm, it is an easy choice.

The whistle is made from wood, with a rounded body and clean edges, and the red stripes and knob give it a crisp two-tone finish. It needs no batteries and has no buttons. It works simply by breath and a slide. It comes in a cream printed box picturing the whistle, which makes it tidy to wrap. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of water, as you would any wooden toy. Tuck it into a gift bag with a card and it makes a small, cheerful present that gets played with straight away.
