Default slowing down a DC motor?

I've got a kids kit of a walking giraffe than I have salvaged the motor and
gearbox from.
It runs on a single AAA battery.
but even with the gearbox, the end spindle is turning way too fast for the
job I have for the unit.
Is there a resistor or some other thingymebob that I can put in line from
the battery to the motor
that will half (approx) its speed?
sorry, I have no info on the motor speed, rating, type etc etc. but its this
one
