Pretend poo

My five year nephew (H.) got lots of nice (and some expensive) presents for Christmas.  These included a train set, various games and activities involving dinosaurs, and several cuddly toys.  However, his favourite present was the cheapest of the lot: a “pretend poo” (his words) in his stocking from Santa.
