Grow-a-sloth toy that expands up to 6 times its size in water

About this product

Drop this miniature sloth into water and it grows to as much as six times its original size. The listing says it can then be shrunk back to its starting size, so the growing can be repeated.

The toy is plastic on the outside with an acrylic inner. The listed size is 11 x 5 x 5 cm and the weight is 20 g. No batteries or assembly are needed, and the manufacturer recommends it for ages 5 to 8. It is a tabletop toy for one player, and the seller suggests it as a stocking filler, a birthday gift or a pass-the-parcel prize.

What to use it for

Drop it into some water on a tabletop and wait for it to swell. It is small enough to go into a stocking.

Care and safety

Keep the sloth dry until you want it to grow, and store it dry after it has been shrunk back.
