Description
This sitting lion money box is a cheerful little saver for a child's room, cast in resin and finished in soft yellow. The lion sits upright on its haunches with a big cream mane framing a tan face, painted with round blush cheeks, small dark eyes, a smiling mouth and fine whiskers. Its tan legs end in neat black-tipped paws, and a slim tail curls up its back to a little heart at the tip. Coins drop in through a slot in the back of the mane, so the friendly face stays uncluttered from the front. It stands 11.8cm tall, 7.7cm wide and 8.7cm deep, a compact size for a shelf or bedside table.
We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a child aged between 3 and 12, and a gentle way to start the saving habit. It suits a bedroom shelf, a desk or a windowsill, anywhere pocket money and loose change can be dropped in a coin at a time. Having a special place for their pennies gives young savers a reason to keep going, and the lion's calm, happy expression makes it a piece they will want to keep in view. The soft yellow, cream and tan colouring sits happily in a pastel or animal-themed room.
Being resin, it holds its moulded detail well, from the textured stripe down the lion's nose to the cut points of its mane. It is a keepsake for a shelf rather than a toy, so it is happiest standing on a flat, steady surface. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a gift with a head start, pop a few coins inside before you wrap it, so the first savings are already waiting.
