LLAMA TOY

The physical and auditory feedback that a toy can give has the ability to mesmerize those who interact with it, and the Llama Toy was an experimentation with melding those two sensory aspects. By cranking the handle, the two llama heads rise, turn away, rise again, and face each other, giving them the illusion of turning in for a kiss or a sweet message. This cranking gives it a small “click” sound as it goes, bringing the toy to life when interacted with.
