The Caterpillar is simply delightful; the wiggly motion of the body driven by the series of offset cams will fascinate young and old alike. It wiggles along, all the while watching the pretty butterfly overhead and dreaming of its’ own metamorphosis. The wooden mechanical Caterpillar is a very good teaching aid as it shows some basic principles of both physics and engineering. This mechanical working model wooden toy automata kit by Timberkits is fun to assemble and adds animation.
