Description
This magnetic mermaid dress-up set comes in its own slim metal tin, with 30 pieces ready to press out and play with. The pale mint lid carries a smiling mermaid with long dark hair, an orange bow and a scaled teal and blue tail, surrounded by little fish, shells and a starfish. The pieces arrive on four punch-out sheets in various shapes and sizes: swishing tails in pink, purple, teal and blue, tops and headbands to swap, and a shoal of sea creatures and ocean treasures, from dolphins and fish to shells, flowers and a pink gem. The tin is 20.3cm long, 8.9cm wide and 3.2cm deep, small enough to slip into a bag.
Open the tin and it becomes the play surface. One side holds a mermaid waiting to be dressed in a choice of tails and outfits, and the other an underwater scene of rolling waves where dolphins, fish and shells can be added to build a story. Because the pieces are magnetic, they cling to the inside of the tin, then lift away to be moved and rearranged as often as the game demands, so no two scenes need be the same. It suits a playroom shelf or a bedroom, and the compact tin makes it a handy pick for car journeys, cafés and visits to relatives, wherever a calm, tidy activity is welcome.
The tin itself is metal, and the playset pieces are made from cardboard and plastic. When play is over, every piece tucks back inside the tin, so the whole set stays together and nothing goes astray at the bottom of a bag. Wipe the tin with a soft, damp cloth as needed and keep the pieces dry, since cardboard does not take kindly to water. As a present it needs little more than a ribbon: the illustrated lid does the work, and the slim shape sits neatly alongside a card.
