Description
This squidgy animal toy takes the shape of a Highland cow, sitting back on its haunches with a shaggy fringe tumbling over its eyes. We love the detail in it: the long, tousled coat is worked in deep locks across the head, chest and legs, so it is as satisfying under the thumb as it is to look at. The coat is a warm sandy tan, the two small upturned horns are black, and a pale yellow nose sits beneath bright dark eyes. It stands 8cm tall, 5.8cm long and 5.7cm wide, a size that settles neatly into the palm of a hand.
Made from soft synthetic rubber, it is a toy for squeezing and squishing in the hand. It is just as content perched on a desk, a bookshelf or a bedside table between turns, where that earnest little face keeps watch over the room. It is a fond nod to the shaggy cattle of the Scottish Highlands, and its compact size means it slips easily into a bag or a coat pocket, ready for a moment of play whenever the mood takes. We think it brings a bit of countryside charm to the busiest of days.
The horns, eyes and nose are picked out in contrasting colours against the tan coat, and the figure sits steadily on its folded legs and rounded base without needing any support. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth now and then and let it dry naturally before it returns to its spot. As a small gift, it tucks happily into a parcel of little treats, and it looks equally at home lined up on a shelf alongside a few favourite trinkets.
