Description

This little grey shark is a grow-your-own water toy: a small plastic shark that gets bigger when it sits in water. Fresh from the card it measures about 6cm long, 2cm wide and 1.5cm high, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. Drop it into water, leave it for 72 hours or more, and it grows to about 12cm long, 4cm wide and 3cm high. It is a mid grey all over, with a pointed snout, a tall fin along its back, two side fins and a forked tail, and a small black eye gives it a proper shark's face. It arrives on a blue backing card printed with a bold illustration of a shark's wide open jaws, the little shark held in a clear plastic window right in the middle of them.

Most of the fun is in the waiting. Stand it in a clear glass, jar or bowl of water on a windowsill, a desk or the kitchen table, somewhere it is easy to check on every morning and see how far it has come. Because it takes a few days rather than a few minutes, it suits anyone who enjoys a small project with a payoff at the end, and it makes a lively bit of play for a rainy week at home.

The shark is plastic and comes on a card backing, so keep it dry until you are ready to begin. Choose a container with plenty of room, as the shark reaches about 12cm from snout to tail and needs space to stretch out as it grows. Clear sides let you follow its progress from every angle, and a quick check of the water level each day keeps it fully covered. Small, light and ready to go on its card, it makes an easy little gift to tuck alongside a bigger present.
