What’s Available in This Listing:
1. Magnetic Wall Caterpillar (NEW & Innovative!)
Our newest favorite—and a one-of-a-kind concept in the sensory play market!
Includes:
-
1 Caterpillar Head with a recessed spot to insert a number (1–10)
-
10 individual circular magnetic trays (each 2.75" in diameter)
-
Hidden magnets (securely embedded—not accessible by children) allow easy wall mounting
-
The 10th piece is the tail, with one magnet to close the loop
Use it to build counting chains on the wall—simply add a number in the head and let your little one build the matching number of body parts and fill them with nature treasures, felt balls, pom-poms, pasta, rice, beads, or any sensory filler!
🧠 Inspired by a request from a classroom teacher looking for a playful way to teach 1:1 correspondence with felt balls.
