Tips for a Cycling Monkey
Motion makes this design special: pose the monkey leaning forward with its paws on tiny handlebars made from a bent strand of yarn-wrapped wire. Button wheels on both sides of the frame let the bicycle actually roll. Keep the monkey’s tail curled playfully behind, and embroider a joyful open-mouth smile for a look of pure cycling delight.

Care Instructions
Spot clean your monkey with a damp cloth and mild soap, being gentle around the button wheels and handlebars. Hand wash in cold water when needed, press softly in a towel, and air dry flat. A quick stitch check on the wheels keeps this cyclist rolling happily.
