Description
This coral reef water game puts a whole underwater world in the palm of the hand, with sharks, a manta ray and shoals of bright tropical fish swimming over coral, anemones and shells behind a clear window. Inside, coloured rings in red, yellow, green and blue drift through the water around two red pegs, and the game is to land as many as you can on them. The dark blue case is styled like a handheld games console, with a direction pad, star buttons, two round thumb pads, little speaker dots and buttons marked reset and start. It is 17cm long, 7.7cm wide and 2.2cm deep, a comfortable size for small hands.
We like it as a simple kids' toy that asks for nothing more than a little patience. At 17cm long it slips easily into a backpack, a car door pocket or a bag for days out, ready for a quiet moment wherever you are. At home it suits a bedroom shelf or the kitchen table after school, and it makes a nice change from a screen. The reef scene gives plenty to look at between goes, from the stripy and yellow fish to the shark gliding along the top, so there is always something to spot while the rings settle.
The case is plastic, with the water held inside behind the clear window and the reef picture set at the back of the play area. To keep it looking its best, wipe the outside with a damp cloth, dry it with a soft one and keep it away from hot sunny windowsills. It makes a cheerful small gift wrapped on its own, and we think it is a lovely little extra to tuck into a bag before a long afternoon out, ready to be found when boredom strikes.
