Description
This fluffy wind-up toy rat is a little bundle of mischief, with a soft grey coat, rounded grey ears, a tiny pink nose, beady black eyes and a long black tail curling up behind. A white key sits at its side: give it a few turns, set it down and let it go. It measures 17cm long, 6.5cm wide and 8.3cm tall, and weighs a mere 0.036KG, so it sits easily in a palm or a pocket. Its coat is properly fluffy, the kind you want to stroke, and its face has just enough character to make you look twice.
It is the sort of toy that earns a laugh wherever it turns up. Wind it up on the kitchen table after supper, send it across the floor of the sitting room, or leave it parked on a bookshelf as a cheeky little lodger for visitors to spot. It makes a fun small gift for anyone with a soft spot for rodents or a fondness for a harmless prank, and it works just as well as a quirky desk companion. One thing to know: it is a toy for people, not pets, as it is not suitable for use as a pet toy.
It is made from fabric, metal and plastic, with a fluffy coat over the body, a black tail and a white winding key. To keep the coat looking its best, brush away dust gently and wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth, keeping the workings dry. Tuck it into a gift bag beside a wedge of cheese for a joke that lands, or keep it in a drawer for the moment a room needs cheering up.
