DD is 4. And all she wants for christmas (and last xmas and her birthday but we thought she would forget) is - a hobby cow. Yes, a hobby cow. Not a hobby horse. After she asked for it again this year we thought we would try to seek one out - and eventually thought we had found one. A company in China but they do ship to UK. Hurrah (we thought).

Turns out they do ship to UK but the minimum order is 150. Now I do love DD very much but 150 hobby cows is a lot of hobby cows (unless anyone here wants 149 of them?). So we are running out of time and out of ideas - so I turn to mumsnet. ANyone know where I could get (or even how to make) a hobby cow? Just one will do.

Who knew you could get hobby unicorns? How keen is she on cows? Seen one close up? The one on play.com looks a bit like a cow to me.I'll keep looking!

How about this?

What about a rocking cow instead? Lots of choices if you google. Failing that, I'd buy a hobby horse a stitch a cow's head (maybe from fancy dress costume) over the horse's head.

Hi, it definitely has to be a cow (sorry, not a unicorn) but Pascha - that looks pretty good! Am going to email them and see if will deliver to UK.

Horse play crafty parties
White rabbit parties
Both do DIY kits. Could you customise one?
Sorry tech ability zilch. How do you do a linky thing?!

This company will ship to the UK (I think) - here.

They do them in The Works for a fiver - all different animals. I'm sure there was a cow.
