Review: A good quality, attractive and fun toy - 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.
Review: Colourful, Educational and Excellent Quality - Highly Recommend - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great product by Melissa & Doug
*by G***Y on 21 June 2023*

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.
