Description
This cheerful wooden ruler is cut in the shape of a yellow giraffe, with bold black spots across its body and neck, a round white eye and little horns on top of its head. The scale runs up the giraffe's long neck, marked in centimetres from 0 to 15 with millimetre lines along the edge, so it does a proper job as well as looking the part. Made from plywood, it is 21cm long from head to hooves, 7cm across at its widest point, and just 0.3cm thick. It weighs next to nothing, so it slips into a pencil case or notebook without adding bulk.
We like it on a desk, in a pencil case or tucked into a sketchbook, where a straight edge and a short scale come in handy for underlining headings, ruling margins and measuring small drawings. Fifteen centimetres is a useful working length for exercise books, notebooks and journals, and the sunny yellow and black spots bring a bit of fun to crafting, note taking and everyday desk jobs. It sits nicely alongside coloured pencils on a study table or in a home office. As a small present, it is practical as well as cheerful, the kind of thing that gets picked up and used every day.
The plywood is cut to the giraffe's outline and printed with its spots, eye and scale, giving a flat, smooth face with neat edges. As with any wooden piece, keep it dry and wipe it with a soft dry cloth when it needs a clean, rather than soaking it or leaving it in water. Pair it with a set of coloured pencils and a plain notebook for a cheerful desk gift, or keep it handy beside the pencil pot so a straight edge is always within reach.
