カタツムリの渦

My daughter keeps coming back to these — the removable flower gears are just the right size for her little hands, and I've noticed her figuring out which cog fits where without any help. It's genuinely teaching her problem-solving while she thinks she's just playing.

My two-year-old spends ages pulling the flower cogs off and pressing them back on, and I love that each one is a different color so we can name them together. The snail base is sturdy enough that it doesn't tip when she gets impatient with it.

The six flower cogs come off and snap back on easily, which keeps my son busy for way longer than I expected. He's only two so he mostly just pulls them off, but he's already figuring out how to line the colors up again.
