Description
This squishy squid toy glows in the dark and has the long, tapering look of the real creature, from its pointed head to its trailing arms. The body is a pale, see-through sky blue that deepens to a rich ocean blue at the tips of the arms. Two longer tentacles reach out beyond the rest, each finishing in a deep blue paddle. Small dark eyes sit on either side, just where the arms begin. It measures 29cm long, 4cm wide and 4cm high, and at just 51 grams it is light enough to carry about all day.
As a kids' toy, it is made for hands-on play: squeeze it, squish it and let those long tentacles flop and dangle. Then comes the clever part. Leave the squid under a lamp or on a bright windowsill for a while, turn off the lights, and it glows in the dark. That makes it a cheerful bedtime companion and a fun way to end the day. Between games it sits happily on a bedroom shelf or a desk, and it suits any child who loves the sea, rock pools and the strange creatures of the deep.
The outer skin is thermoplastic rubber, known as TPR, and inside it is filled with tiny beads of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), which give the squid its squishy feel when you press it. To keep it looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry before it goes back on the shelf. Keep it away from sharp objects that could pierce the rubber. Small, light and full of character, it makes a lovely little present for a young ocean lover, and it pairs nicely with a picture book about the sea.
