Nutty Squirrel rolls along pushing an acorn that turns as Squirrel's bushy tail goes back and forth. This is one pull toy that is not only cute, it was designed with all the right safety features! Unlike so many pull toys with long strings that can be dangerous, this one has a breakaway feature to prevent any accidental choking should the toy be put around a toddler's neck. Unlike some the bead handle at the end is too large to fit into a choke tube or child's mouth. In fact it is easier for a toddler to grasp and pull. This is marked for 18 months and up. Like all pull toys, it is best for tots who are steady on their feet and able to look over their shoulder without tripping. For new walkers start with push toys they can see as they walk forward and then move on to the fun of pull toys like this Nutty  Squirrel.
