She loves to watch them scuttle around finding food and marching across the leaves and twigs.

She has blush cheeks, shiny glass-beaded eyes and a little cute button nose. Her long, multi-toned blonde and brunette hair is braided into two plaits which are secured by lime green ribbons. To keep cool whilst searching the garden for beetles, she has a lime green felt hat with a wooden button too.

Laura is wearing her favourite, colourful, insect-themed pinafore with a pretty poppy button and yellow ricrac edging. She loves the bright green leaves and insects, especially the dragonfly! Underneath, she has a beautiful black dress with multi-coloured spots, and yellow ricrac and red miniature pom-pom edging. She is also wearing a green cotton underskirt with lace edging.

Laura has a white camisole, red tulle underskirt and white pantaloons with lace edging too. She has striped tights and her shoes are a smart sunshine-yellow felt, with contrasting scarlet ribbon laces.

Laura comes with her fluffy pet duck who has a matching green felt hat and insect-print shawl. He is always by her side to gobble up any worms she finds.

Laura is approximately 45cm (17.5“) tall and her duck companion is 20cm (8“) tall.
