Les Minouchkas - Rita the Duck

Rita loves apple pie and humming, which tells you most of what you need to know about her: she is warm, a little bit silly and entirely loveable, exactly the sort of character illustrator Lucille Michieli does so well. Her articulated body means she can sit, stand and pose in whatever scene a child is building, so she becomes a proper participant in the Minouchkas world rather than just a passenger carried along for the ride.

We love it because:

• Articulated body lets her sit, stand and join in properly with whatever imaginative scene is unfolding.
• Designed by Lucille Michieli, with all the warmth and charm her illustration style brings to the Minouchkas collection.
• Rita's specific, lovely character (apple pie, humming, general cheerfulness) gives children plenty to build stories around.
• Washable at 30 degrees, practical for a toy that is going to be loved thoroughly.
• Fits beautifully alongside the Minouchkas accessories: the Caravan, the Bed, the Cradle, and more.
• A lovely standalone gift or the start of a much bigger imaginative world.
