Buzzy Bee

The Buzzy Bee™ is New Zealand’s most famous children’s toy. This brightly coloured, wooden pull-along toy has been handed down from generation to generation and is now regarded as a major New Zealand icon. There would be few New Zealanders that don’t remember playing with this charming little toy in their youth.

Such is New Zealand’s love affair with Buzzy Bee™ that it has appeared as the subject of paintings, sculptures, television advertisements, postal stamps (twice), magazine covers, school murals and parades. Buzzy Bee™ is now often presented by New Zealand dignitaries to VIP’s with children who are visiting New Zealand. Notable recipients include the future King of England, Prince William, Princess Aiko from Japan and the Spanish Royal family.

Without question the original toy has a wonderful mix of colour, sound and movement.
The combination of its vibrant colours and striking visual appearance make for a strong and unique looking toy.

The presence of the clicking sound when pulled and whirring sound as the wings spin is a source of great curiosity and enjoyment for children. And lastly the movement of the wings spinning, antennae quivering and wheels rotating makes this iconic toy irresistible to children.
