Description
This wooden push along toy is a cheerful duck shaped from beech, with a bright yellow beak, a small dark red eye and four chunky wheels. The body is left in the natural pale wood, so the grain shows through in soft flecks, while the wheels are painted teal, coral, orange and yellow for a happy splash of colour. It stands 9.5cm tall and 9cm long, and it is 4.3cm wide. Everything is beech: the body, the wheels and the axles that join them.
It is a simple, traditional toy made for play on the floor or the table, and a lovely piece for a playroom shelf or a nursery when it is not on the move. A gentle push sends the duck rolling along on its wheels, and the open centre of the body gives a natural place to hold it. We like it as a wooden alternative to plastic toys, and its classic shape and cheerful colours sit well in a calm, natural room as much as in a busy one.
The duck is cut from one flat piece of beech with smooth, rounded edges, and the wheels turn on wooden axles. The paint is kept to the beak, the eye and the wheels, so most of the toy shows the wood as it is. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry naturally, and never soak it in water, as with any wooden toy. Wrap it in tissue with a ribbon for a sweet present, or set it on a shelf beside books and soft toys so it is always within reach for the next game.
