Description
This farmyard magic slate frames a grey drawing window with a bright border of farm animals, ready for doodles whenever the mood strikes. Around the edge, on a soft mint background, you will find a cow, horses, pigs, sheep, geese, cockerels and chicks, with little ducks, red barns, sunflowers and carrots tucked in between, and a red tractor rolling along one corner. The drawing window measures 15cm long and 9.3cm wide, a generous space for sketching a barn, a hen or a whole field of friends. A green tab sits at one side, and the red plastic stylus comes with it so the fun can start straight away.
It is the sort of toy that earns its place in a bag. At just 24 grams it weighs next to nothing, so it slips into a backpack, a handbag or the car door pocket for long journeys, cafe waits and rainy afternoons. Write, draw or doodle with the stylus, then pull the side tab to erase the window and start again, as often as you like. It is just as good for practising letters and numbers or a game of noughts and crosses as for drawing whatever goes by on the journey, and it brings a touch of the countryside to a playroom shelf or a desk drawer.
This is a simple, classic toy: the stylus does the drawing and the tab does the clearing. Keep the stylus with the slate after play so it is ready next time, and wipe the printed border with a soft dry cloth to keep the colours bright. The back carries more of the farm, with a cockerel, a pig and the red tractor. For a small gift, we like to pair it with a farmyard storybook for a cheerful bundle, and it makes a handy treat to keep in the glovebox for the next long drive.
