DJECO VIS N' ROLL ANIMALS

My three-year-old loves twisting the lion’s legs on and off, and the fact that all 15 pieces fit together into a rolling toy means it’s both a puzzle and a pull-along in one. Screwing the parts on takes a bit of focus, but that’s exactly what we wanted for fine motor practice.

The wooden pieces are just the right size for little hands, and my daughter spends ages trying to match the screw tops to the right animal bodies. It keeps her quietly focused longer than most of her other toys.

My 2-year-old absolutely loves twisting the wooden pieces together to build the animals—it's such a clever way to practice those fine motor skills. The fact that it all rolls like a little car keeps her engaged for way longer than I expected.
