Melissa & Doug Counting Caterpillar - Classic Wooden Toy With 10 Colorful Numbered Segments

Such a great counting toy! The quality is excellent and made of thick wood with smooth rounded edges that feel safe for little hands. At the price it was very affordable for the quality. It’s bright and colorful which makes it visually engaging. Each of the 10 pieces has dots to help with counting, which adds a fun way to learn. There’s also great versatility. It supports not only learning numbers but colors and early math skills all in one toy. A fantastic educational tool for young toddlers and preschoolers!

My son, who is on the spectrum, loves this toy. He loves to sort numbers so we put it out of order for him and it’s easy for him to remove the pieces to put back into order. I highly recommend this toy for any kiddo who loves to organize numbers.

What can be said enough in praise of this deceptively simple toy. My 26 month old plays with it pretty much every day. He's had it forever it seems.There's the expected way to play with it of course. That's good for a while.Then he decided to started to experiment with it.StackingLining them upCounting themYelling out what number they have is still good but nostalgic fun for him now. He knows all his letters and can count up to 100.The same with what color they are.He loves to place them over there right number on our playmat also! WeE have a huge painters canvas over our half a room size wonder mat. We use washable markers and crayons on it and change his space about once a month. We just toss it in the wash. Then put a spare canvas on.They are incredibly fun to toss!Apparently they are nifty to kick.Recently he had pulled a space odessey on me and started using the green caterpillar base like a club. That's great to smack into the horse shoe pieces.This morning he had fun setting the shapes up right off their base and using the base to nudge them over.I'm positive he'll devise more games in the future.If you're looking for a toy that lasts and is fun and provides a great tool you can use to help educate your little one, this is a fantastic choice.A few of the shapes are getting a bit chipped on the edges but I can't complain since they are put through so much on a daily basis. They are generally played with on a play mat.

Got this for our 2 year old granddaughter. Fun and very cute. Well made. 2-4 years I’d say.

My toddler is in love with toy. This is a go to toy for us now. Lots of educational fun, colors, numbers, hand eye dexterity, etc. I like that it’s made of wood, so it’s a good quality and not another cheap plastic toy.
