Use them to decorate a child's room, nursery, home, or office space. One customer used a toy car for a shower cake topper. I make every effort to make sure my toys perform well. I carefully test each toy before it is put up for sale. My toys are made for play. Approximate Size: Length: 6 inches Height: 3 inches Width: 2.5 Inches Other sizes and colo
