This pull-along toy encourages children to crawl and later to walk. It helps develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, making it an ideal gift for a first birthday, Christmas present, or other special occasion. Made from 100% FSC® certified wood, all paints are water-based, safe for children, and non-toxic. This friend will accompany your little one on its very first steps! With the cotton string, children can pull their favorite animal along on a walk. The opening in the middle makes it easy for children to grasp the toy and push it around.
