Description

Turn the gears slowly and watch each interlocking segment move the next, or see how fast your child can make the caterpillar "crawl" on the wooden base. This rainbow-colored gear toy is hands-on fun at any speed With their bulky, notched shape, the colorful gears are easy for children to fit onto the color-coordinated pegs . . . then rotate, remove and rearrange. Toddlers will be fascinated by the colors and movement of this charming toy. Pediatricians recommend toys that encourage rich interactions between caregiver and child. Use this gear toy to engage in conversations with your child as they explore and make discoveries. Object play with manipulatives such as gears helps develop hand-eye coordination and an understanding of cause and effect. This developmental toy makes a great gift for 18-month-olds, toddlers, and preschoolers. Add Melissa & Doug First Bead Maze to round out the hands-on play experience and give kids another engaging option for screen- free fun.

  • Great for fine motor and colors.
Style: Toy
This is a great toy for 9m-2y. It helps with their fine motor skills, cause and effect, and learning their colors. My youngest loves the bright colors.

  • Quality toy
Style: Toy
This toy is super cute and colorful to look at! My daughter (9 months) loves turning the gears and disassembling it. Hopefully soon she can learn to assemble it herself because I feel like all I do is pick up these gear pieces all day long! I don’t know how I expected it to work but I figured it would be harder to get the gears off the caterpillar. As soon as you pick the caterpillar up the gears fall off and of course my 9 month old does not understand this hence the pieces everywhere all day long. I also do realize that she is technically a little young for this toy but I knew she would enjoy turning the gears so got it for her Easter basket a little before the recommended age. Love the quality and can’t wait to watch her learn how to put the pieces back on herself! ... show more

  • 4 Kids and all love it
Style: Toy
All of my kids love this toy! You can teach colors, count them, and they also learn cause/effect when the gears fall off and they can put them back on. I cannot make this up. My dog that passed used to chew up every wooden Melissa and Doug thing we had any chance he had. One time I got a wooden toy that was in a bargain bin(not Melissa and Doug). He wouldn't chew it. The bargain bin wooden toy was recalled. So, yeah, he knew the good stuff! Haha! But in all seriousness, it's an awesome toy! ... show more

  • Easy to lose pieces
Style: Toy
This looks super cute but the gears just slip on and off like a puzzle piece. I was hoping there would be some more resistance. My toddler gets frustrated when all the pieces fall off when he is trying to bring it anywhere. I get frustrated having to retrieve pieces from all over the house. Quality is great but design is poor. ... show more
