Curling brushes may have fabric, hog hair, or horsehair heads. Modern curling brush handles are usually hollow tubes made of fibreglass or carbon fibre instead of a solid length of wooden dowel. These hollow tube handles are lighter and stronger than wooden handles, allowing faster sweeping and also enabling more downward force to be applied to the broom head with reduced shaft flex. Perfectly suits little ones who dream of owning a funny animal playmate. Curlimals also help your child learn and grow; developing intelligence through pattern recognition and imagination play. Curlimals are great quality, safe and reliable. There are five to choose from: Higgle Hedgehog, Blue Badger , Popsy Mouse, Bo Bunny & Bibi Bunny; each sold separately.
