Description
This wooden push along elephant toy is a cheerful little companion for early play, cut from natural wood in the shape of a friendly elephant with a curled trunk. A bright white eye with a deep brown centre and a white tusk give it plenty of character, while the pale grain of the wood is left on show across the body. It rolls on four wooden wheels, orange at the back and teal at the front, and through a cut-out in the middle of the body a slim wooden rod carries two movable beads, one yellow and one coral. It measures 12cm long, 11.5cm tall and 5.2cm wide, a size that sits neatly in small hands and on a shelf.
Our Wild Wonders elephant is made for pushing along the floor, a rug or a low table, and the cut-out in the middle doubles as a handhold, giving little fingers something easy to grip as they steer it along. Sliding the two beads up and down the rod adds a second thing to do, and together the rolling and the fiddling are designed to help develop motor skills. It sits happily in a nursery or playroom, and when play is over it makes a sweet decoration on a bookcase or windowsill, its soft natural tones and pops of colour suiting most schemes.
The body, wheels and beads are all wood, with metal axles holding the wheels so it rolls smoothly. The wood has a natural finish that lets its grain show, with colour kept to the wheels, beads, eye and tusk. For care, we suggest the usual good practice for wood: wipe it over with a damp cloth, dry it straight away and never soak it in water. It is an easy toy to wrap and give, and its cheerful face and bright wheels mean it looks lovely on a shelf long after the first push.
