Description
This wooden slide whistle is a small, cheerful toy in natural pale wood, printed all the way round with the Wild Wonders design of friendly wild animals. A bright orange lion curls up beside a spotted yellow leopard and a teal elephant with an orange ear. A pink and yellow butterfly and scattered leaves and dots in blue, teal, coral and pink fill the spaces between. The whistle is 14cm long and 2.8cm across, a slim, rounded shape that sits comfortably in the hand, and at 0.044KG it weighs next to nothing.
Blow into the mouthpiece and slide the wooden plunger in and out, and the note swoops up and down. That makes it a lovely toy for silly sound effects, sing-alongs and a bit of musical play. It is small enough to tuck into a pocket, a bag or a toy box, so it can come along on days out and back again without fuss. We think it suits anyone who loves animals and bright, happy colour, and it sits well alongside other wooden toys on a playroom shelf.
The whistle is made from wood, with a shaped mouthpiece at one end and a sliding rod finished with a round knob at the other. The wood is left in its natural tone wherever it is not printed. As general good practice for wood, wipe it with a dry or barely damp cloth and let it dry fully, and never soak it or leave it in water. It makes a cheerful little present on its own, or a fun extra tucked into a gift alongside a book about animals or a set of crayons.
