ICENI REVIEW

The Hape Walk-A-Long Puppy

A Lovely wooden toy made from sustainable products for parents who are more conscious of the impact plastic is having on our environment and those who like to pass toys down through generations. The walk along puppy is eye catching with bold red wheels, ears and tail that are a lure to little explorative fingers.

The cute wobble of the dog when pulled by the bright red cord is comical and its hound like features made my little one giggle as I pulled the cord to move the head up and down. There is plenty of interest for younger less mobile children as the ears twist and the tail springs about providing giggles as it bobs around.  Promoting co-ordination, balance and active play the walk along puppy is perfect for on-the-go toddlers who like to mimic dog walking or just to run about with.

Just the right size for little hands the walk along puppy makes a fun addition to any toy box.

Little Iceni loved this happy little character, smiling at is cheery face and wobble as we pulled it around together. Knocking it down as we sat it up gained applause and she safely chewed on it without fear as its painted with non toxic paints. It is hard wearing even for the 2 rougher Iceni juniors. Whilst little Iceni isn’t quite walking unaided yet, she could still have fun with the walk along puppy sitting and pulling it around herself.

Great priced item and all round thumbs up from the Iceni family.
