Toddlers will be fascinated by the colors and movement of this charming toy. From the Manufacturer Whether you turn it quickly or turn it slowly, this caterpillar is hands-on fun at every speed. Remove the gears, rearrange the colors, rotate and repeat. Toddlers will be fascinated by the colors and movement.

Review: Wonderful toy - Well-made, durable, colorful, fun, easy for little ones to turn the gears. The 15 month old I gave it to love objects that spin so this was an obvious choice. Melissa & Doug toys are a trusted, favorite go-to brand for me.
Review: Great educational toy for toddlers - I love wooden toys and this one is nice. The plastic gears are a good size for little hands and colors are bright. They turn easily and smoothly. It’s good for color identification and hand-eye coordination. It is made well and will last for many more children. My 14 month old grand-daughter loves to watch the gears turn (she is still learning to do it herself)and then to pull them off. It is a good value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the gears come off easily?  Doesn't that make operating them difficult for little ones?**
A: Yes, they come off easily, and no does not make it difficult.  It is really cute, and they can spin all the gears around.  Not a toy you can carry around, cause gears will fall off, but it is great fun.  My grandaugher loves it.  Great for learning colors too.

**Q: What age is it for?**
A: It says 18 months but I think 12 months. I got it for my granddaughter at a younger age, she likes to see it turn but is most interested in taking the gears off and then chewing on them.

**Q: Does this contain formaldehyde?**
A: It certainly does not. Melissa and Doug toys are safe and very high quality.

**Q: what are measurements?**
A: The gears have a 2.5” diameter, the board is about 3.25” across. It’s a nice size, but not too big for little kids to handle.
