Description
This fluffy wind-up toy is a little pitaya, or dragon fruit, with a round, friendly face and a crown of leaves on top. Its body is covered in bright pink fluffy fur, with a soft cream front, two stubby cream arms, small black eyes and a tiny stitched smile. A tuft of green leaves sits on its head around a bright green loop, and a short silver-coloured bead chain with a clasp hangs from there. Two glossy pink feet keep it standing upright, and a pink wind-up key sits at one side. It is 9.5cm tall, 7.3cm wide and 6.5cm long, so it sits neatly in the palm of a hand.
It brings a burst of colour to a desk, a bookshelf or a windowsill, where that hot pink fur lifts a plain corner straight away. Between turns of the key it simply stands on its own two feet, so it doubles as a cheerful little ornament when it is not at play. The bead chain gives it a loop to hang by as well, so it can sit on a hook or a peg as easily as on a shelf. Its fruity character and soft face make it the kind of small treat that raises a smile, whether you keep it for yourself or wrap it up as a little gift.
It is made from polyester, plastic and metal, and it is light and easy to carry about. To keep it looking its best, smooth the fur gently with your fingers and wipe the feet and key with a slightly damp cloth, keeping the wind-up workings dry rather than washing it. For gifting, it tucks easily into a small gift bag or a pocket, and it looks happiest set on a sunny windowsill or a tidy desk, ready for its next wind.
