Galimoto

$10.00

Galimoto! A fun word to say, a fun toy to play with. In Africa, homemade galimotos are fashioned by children out of anything from sticks to cornstalks, and can be vehicles of any sort. This one is made from wire, as galimotos often are. Watch the rider's legs "pedal" as the wheels move.

· Wire and cloth
· 24H inches (including handle)

Made in Kenya
