PlanToys Montessori-Inspired Pull-Along Duck

PlanToys Montessori-Inspired Pull-Along Duck promotes walking, balance, and coordination, strengthening gross motor skills with its irresistible floppy webbed feet. As children pull the string and watch the duck waddle along, they experience cause and effect in a fun, memorable way. The playful design encourages exploration and experimentation, building confidence in movement and sparking imaginative play as the duck joins them on journeys around the room. Encouraging purposeful movement through walking, pulling, and guiding, this charming companion builds coordination, strength, and rhythm through hands-on learning and nurtures everyday skills like controlled walking and intentional movement. Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, organic pigments, and water-based dyes, it is a thoughtful choice for environmentally conscious early learning settings.

Educational benefits

• Encourages purposeful movement through walking, pulling, and guiding, developing coordination and balance.
• Builds gross motor strength and rhythm as children practise repeated movement across different surfaces.
• Teaches cause and effect as pulling the string makes the duck move, wobble and flap its webbed feet.
• Supports language and social development as children talk about where the duck is going and include it in imaginative stories.

Classroom & play activity ideas

• Create a simple obstacle path using soft blocks or floor markers and invite children to guide the duck carefully around it.
• Use the duck during music and movement sessions, changing the tempo so children move it slowly, quickly, and stop on cue.
• Incorporate the duck into small-world or storytelling experiences about ponds, farms or parks, moving it as the story unfolds.
• Encourage turn taking by setting up a "duck walk"  track where children take turns leading the duck from one end of the room to the other.
