Summary
A baby's 'Peek-a-Boo' toy made by Fischerform, (circa 1982) in a transparent plastic package. Comprising of a green plastic box which may be attached to a red plastic rod, with a clamp at each end, enabling the rod to fit onto the sides of a baby's cot. Two lengths of cord, each with a red plastic ring at the end, hang down from the green box. When the baby pulls the rings one or two funny red and yellow faces pop up out of the box. They disappear when the baby lets go. According to the leaflet 'This teaches the baby that things can exist even though it can't see them'. The toy is suitable for children aged from 6 months. The toy is exactly as described above, although possibly part of a red clamp is missing. The toy comes in a transparent plastic suitcase-shaped piece of packaging. Inside the packaging is a colour printed leaflet illustrated with a colour photograph of the toy. Printed on the front cover of the leaflet is '8891-GB Peek-a-Boo From 6 months. Mount on the red Toy Rod. Baby Toys Fischerform Art.No.30941 Made in Sweden.' Total number of items is 2.
