Description
This wind-up stegosaurus is a pocket-sized dinosaur toy with plenty of character, from the row of tall plates along its back to the spikes on the tip of its tail. Its body is a bright, leafy green banded with dark green stripes, the plates are a deep chocolate brown, and its sturdy legs fade to pale cream at the feet, with a small red mouth and a beady dark eye finishing the face. It measures 13.5cm long, stands 6cm high and is 5.2cm wide, so it sits comfortably in one hand and takes up very little room on a shelf.
Wind it up by the small key on its side, set it down and let it go: that simple, hands-on play is the whole charm of a wind-up toy, and it never needs a screen. It makes a cheerful companion for playtime on the floor or at the kitchen table, and between turns it looks just as good standing on a bookshelf, a windowsill or a desk, where its bold colours bring a little prehistoric fun to the room. We like it as a small, easy gift in its own right, simple to wrap and sure to raise a smile.
The stegosaurus is made from plastic and metal and weighs just 0.031KG, so it is light to carry and easy to tuck into a bag or a toy box. Its legs join the body at rounded hips, and the textured, painted finish picks out every stripe along its body. To keep it looking bright, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and let it dry, keeping water well away from the winding key. Tie a ribbon round its middle for a cheerful present, or stand it on a shelf where its green and brown colouring catches the eye.
