Description
This crocodile model brick kit lets you build a little green crocodile brick by brick, jaws wide open and a neat row of white teeth on show. The bricks are plastic ABS in a bright grass green for the back, head, tail and feet, with a cream belly and lower jaw, a red tongue and a small black eye. Four stubby feet stand out to the sides, and raised rows of studs run along the back like a crocodile's scales. It measures 16.3cm long, 5.5cm wide and 2.8cm high and weighs just 22g, so it suits the smallest shelf or desk corner.
Building it is half the fun. The bricks press together stud by stud, and watching the long snout, chunky body and tapering tail take shape is a satisfying way to spend a quiet afternoon. It is a toy to put together and play with, and a model worth keeping once the last brick is in place. Stand it on a desk at home or at work, line it up along a bookshelf, or set it on a windowsill where it can grin at the room. It makes a thoughtful little gift for anyone who loves wild animals, reptiles or simply a good build, and its box is easy to wrap.
ABS is a hard, smooth plastic, which gives the finished model its crisp, clean look. Once your crocodile is built, keep it out of strong direct sunlight and away from radiators, and a soft dry brush or cloth will lift any dust from between the studs. If you fancy building it again, ease the bricks apart gently and start afresh. We like it best on a desk beside a pot of pens, its open jaws pointing at whoever sits down, or tucked into gift wrap with a green ribbon as a cheerful surprise.
