The worm is really nice. As eye-catcher in the nursery, it is really great. The build quality is also fine. The fabric is very soft and cuddly. The shell can be removed and used as a beanbag are (sweet idea). However, the swinging fun on the screw is zero! The focus is too far back so the children must rather try to shift the weight forward a little forward to teeter. On the whole, rather a nice decoration for the nursery as a meaningful toy. The good old rocking horses are I think a lot better.
