Rainbow Caterpillar Gear Toy – Colorful Wooden Activity Set with 6 Interchangeable Gears – Developmental Toy for Toddlers Age 18 Months Plus

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.

Bought for my 1.5 year old son as a Christmas gift. I initially bought it as he loves anything mechanical and things that turn and spin. I found out that it also became really useful as a teaching aid for learning colours. Under each cog is a peg that is colour coded so you can match them up. The toy is mostly made from wood, well made and feels durable.

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.

Was looking for a solid and colorful numbers toy for my 2 and a half year old who is starting to speak and count. The minute she saw this she wouldn't let go of it. As well as trying to stack the blocks in number order back onto the caterpillar she likes to stack them into a tower. It's really colourful so should be a good tool for learning colours too. Very reasonably priced and I expect it to last a long time.

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.

Looks better than it is entertaining. Left out after a couple of days and hardly touched again.

Die Bunte Raupe ist wirklich schön bunt und robust. Durch die abnehmbaren Zahnräder kann schon früh mit dem Farben sortieren gestartet werden und der Mechanismus der Ineinandergreifenden Zahn-Rädchen fasziniert nicht nur unseren kleinen Mann sondern auch der 4 Jährige dreht gerne Mal daran. Sollte erst für ein Busy Board sein, jedoch ist es besser im liegen zu verwenden, da die einzelnen Rädchen ansonsten unter Umständen öfter durch die Gegend fliegen könnten. Wir können dieses Spielzeug empfehlen

Es un juguete muy bonito, con colores vivos y un diseño que a mí personalmente me encantó. Lo compré como regalo para un bebé de 2 años, y aunque hasta donde sé le gustó, no tengo claro cuánto uso le ha dado realmente. La mecánica del juego es simple: colocar los engranajes, hacerlos girar y luego reorganizarlos. Es ideal para desarrollar la coordinación y la lógica, pero sí creo que depende mucho del interés del niño. Algunos se enganchan y lo exploran por largo rato; otros quizá se aburren pronto. Personalmente, lo volvería a comprar, pero sobre todo para niños un poco más pequeños (entre 1 y 2 años), porque creo que a esa edad despierta más curiosidad y puede mantener su atención por más tiempo.

Offert pour Noel à notre fille alors âgée de 17 mois. Elle a rapidement appris et aimé mettre les roues et les faire tourner. J'ai tâché plusieurs fois de lui montrer que les couleurs correspondaient ( sous les roues de couleur il y a un gros ergot de la même couleur ) elle ne semblait pas y prêter attention donc j'ai pas insisté et elle a continué à beaucoup y jouer. Un de ses jeux préféré était d'enlever les roues et nous les mettre sur les doigts. Puis entre 18 et 19 mois elle a commencé à mettre les roues au bon endroit ou bien à mettre les roues au mauvais endroit en me regardant du coin de l'oeil en disant " non pas là, ici " Ce jeu l'a aidé à reconnaitre les couleurs et est très adapté pour la motricité des enfants de cette tranche d'âge. Entre 20 et 21 mois elle sait et nomme 4 des couleurs: Vert, Jaune, Vioyet et Beu " et le rouge et le orange elle les nomme " l'autre " lol! POur moi maman c'est un gros coup de coeur, c'est vraiment beau et bien fini, facile à attraper pour les petites mains et les pièces ne ségarent pas si facilement car elles sont bien grosses.

Carino e fatto bene
