I was lured into the gift shop at the natural history museum in Tring by my grandchildren. I did not want to spend much money so the children were directed to the cheap toys and my granddaughter aged 3 choose a jointed snake.
* cost. Availability. This jointed snake coast me 50p I think . It is available from other novelty shops and on line at http://www.tobar.co.uk Probably at Hawkins sport too.
*Well for 50p you don’t expect much do you and we didn’t get much either.
What we did get was an orange red jointed hard plastic snake. There were black eyes and on each of 6 of the body segments there is a black, yellow and white circles looks a bit like a target .As well as these 6 jointed segments there is the head and a tail segment too. These segments are all joined together by a couple of pegs this makes them jointed and the segments will move about if touched. These snakes can be bought in different colours green, white, yellow.
A *FUN * way to make these move is to hold them by the tail in a pincher grip and move your hand a little the snake will then sway about in a *realistic* fashion .
My 3 year old granddaughter fiddled with this snake after we bought it and made it wriggle around she was mildly interested. My 6 year old grandson got it held it up wriggled the body about and dangled it over me when I was sat in a chair * I think I was supposed to be frightened, so I gave a *scared* squeal or two you know the sort Nanas do. Grandson was a little amused then chased his little sister around the room with it . . This was then the demise of the jointed snake it got grabbed and a bit squashed the joints became unjointed. The snake not really played with since.
*So it was ok for a few moments a throw away toy, would I recommend well not really it might work as a party favour for that party bag after an Indiana Jones party
