Description
This cheerful wind-up monkey is a pocket-sized jumping toy with plenty of character. Give the white key in its side a few turns, set it down on a flat surface and it springs into life with a hop. It is modelled as a seated monkey with a glossy brown body, a rounded pale tan face and muzzle, small cupped ears, round eyes and front paws held up as if ready to leap. A curled tail loops up behind, and the folded back legs rest on long flat feet. It measures 5.4cm long and 4cm wide, and stands 5cm tall, so it sits easily in the palm of a hand.
Its small size makes it a fun little distraction for a desk, a bookshelf or the kitchen table, ready to be wound up whenever someone needs a smile. This is a toy made for play, and the fun is all in the winding, letting go and watching the monkey jump. Between turns it sits happily as a tiny ornament, adding a warm touch of brown and pale tan to a shelf or a windowsill. We like it for the way such a simple, old-fashioned wind-up idea still raises a grin.
The toy is made from plastic and metal, and the moulded body has a smooth, glossy finish with the white winding key standing out against the brown. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, which is good practice for any wind-up toy. It is a cheerful little extra to slip in alongside a bigger present, or a small treat to wrap on its own, and it is sure to be wound up again and again once it is out of the paper.
