Barney Bear

Original miniature push toy by Helen Dickins

When you make his back wheels turn, Barney, the little bear, bumps about through the fields, chasing butterflies, always trying but always failing to net one of the colourful, fluttering creatures.

A carefully designed network of wires causes the butterflies to dive and weave in front of the little bear, as his catching arm moves the net up and down. All original design and creation, from the sculpting of the bear parts to the turned metal wheels and the intricate mechanics.
