Springie Thingie

If you grew up with a classic coil spring toy and spent a genuinely unreasonable amount of time sending it down the stairs, congratulations, you now have a completely legitimate reason to buy another one. These ones have faces, which somehow makes the whole thing even better.

We love it because:

• The classic stair-walking trick is as mesmerising as ever, and children figure it out with a lovely sense of achievement when it finally works
• Great for practising coordination and dexterity, the kind of focused, satisfying play that keeps busy hands genuinely occupied
• Three brilliantly cheerful designs to collect: a loaded pizza, a very pink sprinkle donut and a smiley kiwi, each with a double-colour spring and capped ends
• Compact enough to pop in a bag, take on a trip, or use as a brilliant last-minute gift that punches well above its weight

What's in the box:

• One Kidoki Springie Thingie (sold individually, three designs available: pizza, donut or kiwi, assorted)

Great for:

• Suitable for ages 3 and up
• Keeping hands busy on long car journeys, rainy afternoons and the particular kind of school holiday boredom that arrives around day three
• Dexterity and hand-eye coordination play
• Party bags, stocking fillers and small gifts that children actually get excited about

Important to know:

• Materials: ABS and PVC
• Packaged in an FSC certified colour box
• Sold individually, three designs available (assorted)
