Description
This tiger wooden ruler turns an everyday desk tool into a striding striped cat, cut from plywood. The tiger walks the full length of the ruler, with its head at one end, its tail curling up at the other and four sturdy legs beneath. Along its back runs a printed scale marked from 0 to 15 centimetres, with millimetre lines in between, so it measures and rules lines just as a plain ruler does. It is printed in bright orange with bold black stripes, a white muzzle, a smiling face and blue ears and nose. The whole tiger is 21.5cm long and 9cm at its widest, from paws to tail tip, and just 0.3cm thick.
It is a cheerful ruler for a pencil case, a desk drawer or a school bag, flat enough to slip between the pages of a notebook and light enough to carry anywhere. We like it for homework, drawing straight lines in a sketchbook, underlining notes or measuring small things around the house. The tiger brightens a study desk or a craft table, and the straight edge along its back suits most jottings in an exercise book. Because the scale begins at 0 just behind the tiger's head, it is easy to line up and read.
Plywood gives the ruler its strength: thin layers of wood bonded together keep it flat and firm, and the edges are cut cleanly around the tiger's outline. The design is printed across the front. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water and store it flat so the tail and legs are not knocked or bent. It is small and easy to wrap, so it makes a cheerful little gift tucked in with a notebook and a few coloured pencils.
