Melissa & Doug Counting Caterpillar, Classic Wooden Developmental Toy for Motor Skills and Problem Solving, 10 Brightly Coloured Numbered Segments for Kids Age 2+

I bought this as a present for my (then) 15 month old daughter. It has been a hit, and is still played with at the 20 month mark. The quality of the toy is excellent, it’s sturdy and also looks lovely on our toy shelf. The rainbow colours are bold but not garish. We have been able to play additional games identifying different colours, so useful for some learning as well. The product is very durable - almost 6 months down the line and following multiple drops, chews and knocks by my toddler, it looks as good as the day it was purchased. The interlocking cog mechanism is smooth and easy for young hands to learn to manoeuvre - it’s great for teaching twisting motions. Each of the cogs are removable (nice and easily for little ones, but not too easily) and the pegs underneath correspond with the cog colours - this allows for a nice matching game. The overall design of a wiggly caterpillar is cute and was enjoyed by my little one.

I'm really impressed with the quality of this toy, it's really well made, safe and extremely sturdy, it can certainly survive a knock or two and not show any real damage. The finish is top notch! and safe for little hands! Our 20 month old absolutely loves playing with this, it has really helped him learn hand-eye coordination to put the pieces of the caterpillar together and he calls out the colours as he picks up each piece. It's currently one of his favourite toys, he is now practicing the putting the numbers in correct order. Definitely recommend Melissa & Doug wooden toys. Excellent value for money!

This is a lovely toy. Brightly coloured and very much stimulating for a toddler. I purchased this for my niece who loves it. The cogs can be interchanged so that they don't have to sit in the same position shown on the photo. Each cog has a colour coded peg underneath, so that it can help a child to learn colours and also where the cogs fit. Certainly another great thought out product by Melissa and Doug.

My 13 month old loves this, bright, well made and robust. He enjoys spinning the cogs around and they are chunky enough that he can pick them up without any real trouble. This was excellent value for money and will last for a long time to come.

My 1 year old was instantly interested in this toy and spent several minutes twirling the cogs. It looks nice, is colourful and durable. The cogs match the coloured pegs they sit on which will be useful for colour matching later on. Although my 1 year old can't manage to place the cogs on the pegs at the moment, learning to do this will help develop her fine motor control. This is a really nice toy and I will probably buy it again as a gift for a 1 year old.

Packaged in a nice Melissa and Doug cardboard box and bigger than I had thought, but that means that it's sturdier in a toddlers hands! I hadn't realised that the cogs are plastic, it does say 28% plastic in the product specifications at the bottom of the page so that's my fault, but it's a shame as initially I thought it was all wood and that was one of the reasons for buying. Toddler loves removing and putting back the cogs as well as turning them. Good for colour recognition as well as fine motor skills. Very good value for money.

Bought this for my 18 month old daughter and she loves it. It's a fantastic educational toy that can be used in many ways. We use it for - matching colours, she was unable to do this to start with but quickly learned - improving fine motor skills by fitting the cogs in - counting, she counts as she puts them on It is also very good quality. A wooden board with plastic cogs which is all aesthetically pleasing too. My little one has thrown it about everywhere but it is still in perfect condition.

Brilliant hand eye coordination toy Colourful

Mon fils de 3 ans et demi adore ce jouet. Il peut à la fois compter et nommer les couleurs. Les couleurs sont vives et le jouet solide.

Producto de muy buena calidad, colorido y atractivo para manos intrépidas. La base de madera tiene un peso que aporta durabilidad a este juguete para que puedan disfrutarlo durante mucho tiempo. Los engranajes son de plástico pero se ven resistentes también. Lo volvería a comprar, con esta marca siempre aciertas tanto para tus niños como para regalar.

Lo compré en oferta a 170 pesos, le encantó a mi bebita de año y medio, se entretiene bastante y es un juego que impulsa a los bebés a relacionar los colores y tmb de actividad motriz.

J’ai acheté cet article pour mon fils qui avait à l’epoque 1 an et pour les autres enfants que je garde puisque je suis assistante maternelle. C’est un jouet ludique, rigolo et robuste! La chenille est assez grande, les pièces sont grosses donc pas de risque d’etouffement Surtout quand vos enfants veulent faire leurs dents dessus... Différents moyens de l’utiliser: -simplement enlever les pièces des socles et les remettre si l’enfant en est capable (pas facile au début de bien viser le trou). -citer les couleurs et les mettre au bon endroit. -travailler en motricité fine, la réflexion et la concentration de l’enfant qui va analyser le lien de cause à effets! L’article est conforme à la description et m’a été livré dans les temps! Faites malgré tout attention au prix... j’ai acheté l’article à 17,99€ et une fois commandé il est passé immédiatement à 11,99€.... bonne déception étant donner que la commande ne pouvait déjà plus être annulée! Je recommande malgré tout le vendeur. Si vous avez trouvé ce commentaire utile n’hesitez pas à cliquer! Merci à vous!
