A strong leader and a faithful friend – Hattie the Elephant is an amazingly realistic and long-lasting wooden model of the American manufacturer areaware. As a faithful gregarious animal, Hattie accompanies small and grown-up children from 12 years up along the years without leaving their sides.

The flexible and robust hard-wood model from Hattie the Elephant can adopt many different poses. The joints and muscles are kept together by flexible rubber bands. With a proper care and handling, Hattie is a long lasting company: the wooden model is hard and robust and therefore resistant to nearby every shock.

Designed by David Weeks, Hattie the Elephant is manufactured by the American manufacturer areaware out of sustainable obtained beech wood. Regarding the appearance and quality of the material, Hattie is timeless. The wooden toy from areaware is made to survive generations of playful hands. However, this charming elephant is not only a toy, Hattie also feels comfortable on the desk or shelf.
