Infant (0-2 years) Preschool (3-4 years)
Are your little ones feeling squirrely? This charming squirrel pull toy twitches his tail side to side as he chases after a rolling acorn. The long pull string has a safety breakaway feature and the easy-to-grasp bead handle is too large to be a choking hazard, making this colorful Nutty Squirrel ideal for beginning crawlers to chase, wobbly walkers to pull, and confident runners to have bouncing along behind.
