Description
This little steel coil spring toy packs a whole lot of springy play into something small enough to close your hand around. It is made from silver steel wire wound into tight, even coils, so it sits as a neat little stack one moment and arches over into a rainbow shape the next. Gathered up, it measures 3.5cm across and 3.5cm high, which makes it easy to slip into a pocket, a pencil case or a desk drawer. It comes in its own printed card box, with the Wild Bear badge on the front in bright blue, red and white and a cut-out window showing the coils inside.
On a desk it quickly becomes the thing you reach for during a long phone call or while thinking through a tricky email, and on a shelf it is a cheerful little object in its own right, catching the light along its silver coils. Pass it from one hand to the other and the coils ripple across in a soft, satisfying wave before settling back into a stack. It is simple, quiet play with nothing to switch on, and it suits a home office, a study or a bedside table equally well.
The spring is steel throughout, with a smooth metallic finish and a small tab closing off each end of the coil. Like any coil spring, it keeps its shape best when it is stretched gently rather than pulled hard, as over-stretched coils can bend or tangle; if a few do catch, ease them apart slowly. Keep it dry and give it a wipe with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep the steel bright, and pop it back in its box between turns so it stays tidy. As a small gift, it comes ready boxed and makes a cheerful little extra for anyone who likes something to fiddle with.
