NDR- Swan push toy

[Dave Diefenderfer]

Some may recall the rocking geese that I made in 2022 for both grandsons born in 2021. We were again double blessed in 2023 with 2 granddaughters. Not wanting to burden their parents with yet another large item just yet (baby cradles, doll houses will eventually come). I decided to make them a push toy. A waddling Swan. So now the final question....leave it bright white, or rub it with a wash? Hurry and answer as one gets delivered tomorrow!!!

Very cool Dave, somebody gave me a little mallard flapper years ago when my boy was little and he loved running around the garage with it. I gave it my neighbor and his kids ran all around with it too. It's a great little toy for the kids!

I can hear the squeals of excitement when they first lay eyes on them. Those are fantastic. Great job pops!
