What *are* those things called?


You know, the wee wooden toys, usually of a four-legged animal, that are strung together, and temporarily collapse when you press in the wooden base?
Anyhoo, I saw this advert from a design agency, apparently it’s for easy to assemble furniture, but I wish it was real: I’d definitely need one of them!

  1. You may need to sit down before I reveal the answer to you.

    My extensive searches of toy stores across the UK and the US have revealed that they're called press toys or push-up toys.

    I hope that wasn't too much of a shock to the system.
