Description

This wooden balloon-powered boat toy comes with its own little sailor, a peg-style wooden figure in a white cap topped with red, a white tunic and a green neckerchief. The hull is natural wood with a teal green stripe running along its side and a red and white lifebuoy painted near the stern. A round well in the deck holds the sailor upright, a turned wooden chimney stands behind him, and a short spout points out from the back. It measures 14.5cm long, 6.4cm wide and 4.5cm high, and at just 78g it is light enough to carry anywhere.

The fun starts with the balloon. Blow it up, fit its neck over the chimney and let go, and the air rushing out pushes the boat forward, ready to send the sailor off on nautical adventures. If you would rather keep things simple, the balloon can be left off and the boat pushed along by hand instead, so it works just as well for quieter play on a rug or a table as it does for a balloon-powered dash. We think it suits anyone who loves a classic wooden toy with a clever twist, and the cheerful sailor is made for making up stories.

The boat is made from wood with plastic parts, the sailor figure is wooden, and the balloon is natural rubber latex. The sailor lifts out of the deck, so he can ride in his well or stand beside the boat between voyages. To keep the wood looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and let it dry fully in the air before putting it away, and store the balloon somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Small, light and full of character, it makes a charming little present that wraps neatly and is sure to raise a smile.
