Advantages: cute

Disadvantages: Limited interest really

This clockwork lady bird is cute it's only small about 5 cm's. I bought mine in a novelty toy gift shop for a friend. This ladybird is a Tobar toy RRP £1.75.

This ladybird is available in red, pink, blue, or green. I prefer the red colour. Although there is markings that make it look like 2 wings the wings do not actually flap .There are has 6 large black spots on the wings .This toy has a cute black face cheery features in white . It has 2 antennae too.
The ladybird is made of plastic.
The picture on this page is not the ladybird but the clockworl snail the ladybird is similar.

The ladybird has a small wind up key in its side. When wound the ladybird will dash forwards then do a back flip, landing on its base it will then spin round in circlers. After a few rotations the ladybird will repeat these movements.
It is quite fun to watch this toy do its "dance"

This ladybird is suitable for children aged over 3 years old it has small parts easily swallowed.
This toy would be good to encourage fine motor skills as you have to twist the key to make it work. Good for someone with limited movement as it will encourage them to watch and move their eyes to watch.

Altogether this is just a cheapish fun toy that will be fun. I deal as a party bag or stocking filler. Children's party just come into my head. An ugly bug ball. Guests dressed as bugs these as prizes or in party bags.

If you want to look or buy this on line go to http://www.tobar.co.uk/rkmain .asp?PAGEID=20670&STK_PROD_CODE=08689&CTL_ CAT_CODE=2194 It is available in a display box of 24 mixed colour ladybirds. You can buy it singularly from http://www.hawkin.com.

Would I recommend ? yes Its fun .
