Little Monkey has the Melissa & Doug Caterpillar Gear Toy
. It looks like this: 
She was 19 months old the first time she played with it. I believe in letting a child explore a new toy on their own first to encourage their own thinking. She took all the gears off and put them back on. It was so cute to watch her take one finger and turn the gears individually. Then she noticed that turning one made the rest turn. Then she took one out of the middle and saw that turning the end one only moved the ones closest to it. So, she took one from the other end and put it in the middle. The joy of her own accomplishment when she made her line move again! She clapped her hands and said "Mama!"

The Melissa & Doug Caterpillar Gear Toy
