Summary
A plastic teething ring (filled with water to enable it to be chilled) with a fabric butterfly toy attached by Velcro (2007). The ring is made from translucent turquoise plastic moulded with a bobbly pattern of circles and stars (or snowflakes). The butterfly (Bethany Butterfly) is made from brightly-coloured plush polyester fabric - a red and yellow striped body, turquoise and yellow legs, a yellow head with blue and orange antennae. Her features are embroidered in blue, with an orange star on one cheek. One set of wings is green and the other set has orange and red stripes - these all have plastic inside to give a 'crackly' sound when handled. A blue and white spotted fabric circle is sewn on each of the green wings and one has a ribbon label embroidered on which reads 'babyplayTM'.
