Description
This crocodile squishy toy is a soft, weighty reptile with a sand filling inside a thermoplastic rubber outer, made for squeezing. It is moulded in rich green, a shade darker along the ridged back, with bright yellow eyes and an open mouth lined with little white teeth. Raised scales run across the back and the long tail is ridged along its length, so there is plenty of texture under the fingers. It measures 21cm long, 10.8cm wide and 4cm high, and at 0.249KG it has a satisfying heft in the hand.
It is a toy, and play is the whole point: squeeze it, press it and pass it from hand to hand, and the sand inside shifts and settles with every grip. At 21cm long it fills a palm or two without being unwieldy, so it sits as happily on a desk or a bedside table as it does in a toy box or on a playroom shelf. Anyone with a soft spot for crocodiles and other swampy creatures will enjoy the detail in the face, from the nostrils at the tip of the snout to the neat rows of teeth along both jaws. We like it as a little companion for idle hands during a phone call or a quiet moment of reading.
The outer is thermoplastic rubber, a soft and flexible material, and the filling is sand, which is what gives the toy its weight and its gentle squash. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally, as is good practice for any rubber toy. It arrives on a printed card with a lily pond scene, so it is ready to wrap as it is, and it makes a cheerful little gift for anyone who loves reptiles.
