Review on Versatile and Colorful Melissa Doug Rainbow Caterpillar Building Set for Endless Creativity by Jim Velasco

Wanted something for my 14 month messy baby to focus her fine motor skills on, besides tilting, tearing, smashing etc. I liked the size of the gears and thought me They were perfect for accidentally teaching her how to pick the lock on the front door and lock us out of the house. But alas - the gears are removable! This whole "off and on" thing is definitely none of her business and never will be her business. However, she LOVES to take them off and hide them deep in the dark corners of the house never to find them. So we have a wavy wooden board with empty pins where the gears used to be, and sometimes one of those gears shows up in a shoe, a toilet, my coffee mug, etc., but never ON A REAL CATERPILLAR BOARD. But at $7, the price is great for another medium projectile to throw at me. While it might work great for any other kid, it definitely won't work for me.
