This wooden toy is great for parents or grandparents to play with young children. Hold by the tail and move the alligator slowly along with the front wheel slightly off the ground and he walks without snapping. Then put the front wheels to the ground and rush forward and he snaps viciously sending young children shrieking with delight. Patterns plus 11 pages of illustrated instructions for this weekend project are available.
