Areaware Palimals Monkey

The wood has a smooth, almost warm finish that makes it feel more like a little sculpture than a toy, and the cotton ropes are a nice touch. My toddler loves carrying it around by the tail, and it’s held up to a few drops already.

The magnets on the paws are surprisingly strong, so it hangs right on my fridge without sliding. The non-toxic paint finish is smooth and even, which makes me feel fine having it near the kids.

I’ve had this little guy on my desk for a week and the cotton-rope limbs let him wrap around my monitor edge perfectly, which is way more fun than I expected. The non-toxic paint finish is smooth and solid, no chips after some light handling. It’s a tiny 2-inch monkey but it’s got real personality.
