Description
This set of three nesting storage cases carries the Prehistoric Land design: a grid of squares in blue, green, yellow and lilac, each holding an illustrated dinosaur or other prehistoric creature with its name printed alongside. Among them you will find a Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Corythosaurus and Ornithomimus, joined by a Pterodactylus and a Dimetrodon. The print covers both broad faces of every case, while the band around the edge comes in a plain colour: light blue on the large case, green on the medium and yellow on the small. The large case is 25cm long, 18cm wide and 8cm high, the medium 20cm long, 14.5cm wide and 7.5cm high, and the small 16cm long, 12.5cm wide and 6.5cm high, all measured without the handles.
The medium case slips inside the large one and the small case inside the medium, so the set packs down to the size of the largest when you need the space, then spreads out along a shelf when you want all three on show. Each case closes with a clasp at the front and has a carry handle, so it lifts down from a shelf and travels from room to room. They make a cheerful home for the odds and ends that gather on a desk, a bedroom shelf or a dresser, and they look as good stacked in a corner as lined up side by side.
The cases are made of card with a plastic coating, stitched around the edges with white cotton thread and fitted with tin handles. Inside, the card carries a pale print of fossil bones on cream. The set weighs 0.46KG, light enough to move about. Card is best kept dry, so wipe the coated surface with a soft, barely damp cloth, dry it at once and keep the cases clear of spills. For a gift, nest the three together so each clasp opens on another case.

Frequently Asked
What size is each of the three cases?
The large case is 25cm long, 18cm wide and 8cm high, the medium is 20cm long, 14.5cm wide and 7.5cm high, and the small is 16cm long, 12.5cm wide and 6.5cm high, measured without the handles.
Do the storage cases fit inside one another?
Yes, they nest: the small case sits inside the medium and the medium inside the large, so the whole set takes up only the space of the largest case.
What are the cases made of?
Each case is made of card with a plastic coating, stitched around the edges with cotton thread, and the carry handles are made of tin.
Which creatures appear on the Prehistoric Land design?
The grid shows a Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Corythosaurus, Ornithomimus, Pterodactylus and Dimetrodon, each illustrated in its own coloured square with its name printed beside it.
What colours are the cases?
The printed faces mix blue, green, yellow and lilac squares, and the band around the edge is light blue on the large case, green on the medium and yellow on the small.
How should I keep the cases clean?
As with any coated card, wipe the surface gently with a soft, barely damp cloth, dry it straight away and keep the cases away from water and spills.
