Summary
A 'fisherform' 'Crawly Mirror' and its original box (circa 1982). The mirror comprises two yellow wheels each pierced with five teardrop shapes. A square, red plastic-framed mirror is threaded onto the axle between the two wheels. It hangs at an angle. The red cardboard box has a handle on the top. There is a colour photograph of a young child using the crawly mirror. The following is printed on the box '...the Crawly Mirror is not just an ordinary mirror. When the child pushes it, it rolls away a bit. The moving picture in the mirror stimulates the child to crawl after and give it another push. The whole time, the mirror hangs at the right angle for crawling infants, inviting them to play...'
