Description
Made just for tiny hands, our adorable builders let children match up animal patterns to create 4 cute critters—or mix up the pieces for super-silly fun! However they put the animals together, tots develop fine motor skills and eye/hand coordination as they twist, turn and build! Set features a total of 16 pieces, including 4 animal rods and 12 animal body pieces. Rods measure 6 3/4" tall.

Good heft and smooth twisting

These toys feel good and twist smoothly. They don’t spin quickly so it takes some dedicated and intentional twisting to move the pieces (hard for a 1 year old, easy for a 4 year old). I like that it requires some effort. These are a good diaper bag toy too.
