Description
This wind-up dinosaur toy takes the shape of a pterodactyl, its long beak open wide and its wings held out to either side. We love the detail packed into something so small: a warm brown body with a pale cream belly, a dark grey-blue crest sweeping back from the head, a bright yellow eye and a red mouth. The wings are grey, flecked with pink and edged in brown, and each foot ends in neat black claws. It measures 11cm long, 8.5cm wide and 7.7cm tall, small enough to sit in the palm of a hand, and it stands up on its own feet.
Wind it up, let it go and watch it set off. Between runs, its wings can be moved by hand, so you can set them at different angles and pose it mid-glide or ready for take-off. It is a cheerful little toy for a playroom or the toy box, and it is just as at home on a desk at work, where a quick wind makes for a welcome break. When play is over, it makes a charming small figure for a bookshelf or a windowsill, adding a touch of the prehistoric to the room.
It is made of plastic and metal, with a short winding stem at one side. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and give it a dust with a soft dry cloth when it sits on a shelf. As a gift it is small, light and easy to wrap, and its open beak and patterned wings make it a fun one to unwrap. Tuck it alongside a book about prehistoric creatures for a present with a real sense of adventure.
