Wild Wonders Wooden Animal Yoyo - Assorted

This wooden yoyo is a small, cheerful toy in natural pale wood, its front face printed with one of our Wild Wonders animals in bright, flat colour. There is a lion in warm orange with a sunny yellow mane, a mustard-yellow leopard covered in deep green spots, a turquoise elephant wearing an orange saddle cloth, and a deep blue whale with a turquoise belly. The yoyo you receive is one of these designs, chosen at random, so we cannot promise a particular animal. It measures 5.5cm across and 3cm deep, a comfortable size to hold, with the wood grain left on view around the print and a white string ending in a finger loop.

It is a simple, old-fashioned pocket toy, the kind that slips into a bag or coat for a few minutes of play on a walk, at the kitchen table or on a long car journey. Spinning it down the string and drawing it back up again is a knack that grows with practice. Between turns it is just as happy sitting on a desk or shelf, where the animal print adds a bright spot of colour. With its bare wood around the design, it sits nicely alongside other wooden toys and natural-finish pieces in a playroom or bedroom.

The yoyo is made from wood in two rounded halves, joined at a narrow central groove where the string winds on, and the pale grain shows clearly around the printed face. It is light and compact, so it travels easily in a pocket or a pencil case. As with any wooden piece, wipe it with a soft dry or barely damp cloth, let it dry fully and keep it away from soaking, direct heat and damp corners. It wraps neatly into a small parcel and makes a cheerful little present for anyone who enjoys a bit of hands-on play away from a screen.
