Wow! This fun Caterpillar is loaded with tactile toddler play that will keep young children engaged for long playtimes, enhancing their overall development as they play. There are surprises and delights on all sides of the thrilling Caterpillar. Children are fascinated to notice how the shapes and spheres move along the lines. Moving the pieces with their hands will help encourage motor coordination and fine motor skills. The rattle sound of the yellow spheres running in their groove is a sensory dimension that young children experiment with again and again. This cause-and-effect action stimulates the toddlers' logical thinking skills and cognition. There is a "two of each"-approach to activities, across the Caterpillar. This 360 design supports peer interactions, adding social-emotional development to the play benefits.
