 Great companion December 4, 2007

Our son walked a little on the late side at 17 months, and this little alligator has become a great companion for him since. With a dog, we must go for walks daily, and he walks the alligator while I tend to his younger brother and walk the dog. That alligator has put some MILES on it. We got it as a gift from my aunt who is an avid Salvation Army shopper and were devastated when a wheel fell off (this is probably after at least 50 miles on the thing, not including its milage from previous owners), but we found a label on its clackity body and were ecstatic to have located a new one. The best part ... no batteries! Just a well-made and inexpensive toy that is, quite literally, willing to go the distance with your little one.
So Stinkin' Cute! December 30, 2007

I bought this cute little fellow for my nephew. When it came, I just HAD to get it out and play with it myself! The clapping (not overly annoying) intrigued and scared my cat, but I sure thought it was fun. The wheel axels are off-center, forcing the "worm"-like motion (like the 80s dance, which forces the plates to clap as it strolls along. It is smaller than I expected -- box is only about 4"x4"x12", but I guess that makes it a little less intimidating for small children. Haven't given this to my nephew yet, but I sure think it's a great, timeless toy that can entertain for many years. For those who are interested, the paint is soy-based; the manufacturer really seemed to be dedcated to a natural, quality product.

This is a great walking toy for toddlers. the alligator's wooden body moves as it walks, so it makes the kids giggle and interested in walking with it. My son loves to dance with it!

Our son got this from his aunt for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! We are always on the lookout for old-fashioned quality toys - made of wood and without the loud bells and whistles that are ridiculously prevalent in this day and age - and this toy completely fits that description while providing great fun. Our son loves the clacking sound it makes and he loves to walk backwards while pulling it through the house so he can watch it move. We love the ecological and safe way it was made, and are now big fans of Plan Toys.
The best toy I have purchased! January 31, 2009

This is the best toy I have purchased for my son so far. I bought this for him when he had just started walking, and he loved it from the start. Everyday my 15-month-old takes the alligator for walks (runs, to be more accurate) around the house, yelling with delight as the alligator clickety-clacks behind him. The movement of the toy is fascinating, the quality is outstanding, and there is simply something very appealing about the alligator's expression and his bright green-and-yellow color scheme.
My son has four toys from Plan Toys, and every one of them is a beautiful, educational, durable, and updated classic.
