Description
This friendly snake is designed to engage little hands and minds.
With a moving head, body and tail, children can explore different motions while developing essential skills like hand-eye coordination and sound recognition. Twist, turn, and click the parts to uncover delightful sounds and interactive play. Encourage curiosity and fine motor development while making an earth-friendly choice!
Wheat fibre is used in the manufacture of this product. This creates a naturally speckled finish adding to its natural charm and eco-friendly appeal.
