A vibrant, multicolored caterpillar with tiny red antennae, this educational plush pal’s rainbow-hued segments are accented with embroidered numbers and letters. Two of the numbers flip up to reveal mirror accents, while two of the letters double as pockets; one pocket holds a friendly, rattling bee and the other, a crinkly purple flower. The Activity Toy’s green tail tinkles and the head rattles. It is suitable for ages 6 months and up. Launch date: January 2007.
— Gund products were listed as best sellers by Joe Berardoni, Sr., at Pun’s Toy Store in Bryn Mawr, Pa., in October 2008. “It’s the name that everyone knows and trusts when it comes to plush products,” he said. “They have everything from new baby through childhood (and beyond).”
