The green Woopie octopus is a 2-in-1 toy: a whack-a-mole game for little fingers and a pull-along toy for first walks.

This whack-a-mole toy for toddlers teaches quick reactions. Moles pop up in the middle of the octopus, and your little one presses them back down to “save the carrot crop”. The three buttons are pleasantly soft, so pressing them is easy for small hands. When pressing gets boring, attach the string and the octopus becomes a friend to pull around the room or garden. The toy is compact, light and made of durable plastic.

What your child develops

• Hand-eye coordination. Your toddler follows the mole and hits it.
• Fine motor skills. Pressing the buttons strengthens fingers.
• Reaction speed. The mole has to be caught while it is up.
• Movement. Pulling the octopus gets toddlers walking.

How to play

Show how to press one mole and give it a name. Then let your toddler try and cheer every hit.

For a walk, attach the string and invite your little one to take the octopus “visiting” another room.

A great gift

The octopus is a fun gift for toddlers from 18 months – for a birthday or as a small surprise.
