Woodpecker Toy - Retro Sliding Gadget for Kids and Adults - Mesmerizing and Calming Desk Accessory - Ages 5 and Up - One Piece

This is probably the best thing I’ve ordered off Amazon! This was a birthday gift for my father... there use to be a woodpecker toy in an old store my father and I use to go to when I was a kid.. thing was older than me the store closed down and my father and I talked about it all the time! I’ve looked for one for years with no luck. Then to find this on here I struck gold! It’s so cute and fun to play with and brought so much joy to my father when he opened it!

So adorable! Slide the funny little woodpecker to the top of the pole then wait for it. Try to be patient and resist the urge to encourage the little fella with a gentle nudge, though in the end it might be necessary, But try to give him the chance to prove himself, lol. So much fun to watch him jiggle his way down the pole, pecking away as he goes. Ingenious and simple.....a simple lesson in basic physics! Every physics teacher should have one of these little guys on his desk at school.....along with the "Balancing Eagle" on a little plastic display stand, and also one of those metal balancing images of his favorite sport or activity, and one of those woodpeckers with the fuzzy beaks that are drawn to dipping their beaks continually down to a cup of water, Great little items, all.

My son’s doctor has this little bird toy in her office, and he is absolutely obsessed with it! Every time we go, it’s the first thing he grabs, and it always gets a laugh out of him. I decided to get one for our house because it’s small, silly, and so cute—just the kind of lighthearted toy that brings joy without taking up a ton of space. That said, I’ve noticed a couple of things about it that could be improved. The bird doesn’t slide down the pole as easily as I expected, and I’ve had to help it along a bit. It’s possible I’m not using it correctly, but I feel like it should work a little more smoothly. Also, the base isn’t connected to the pole, so when my son gets a bit rough with it (as toddlers do), it has fallen apart a couple of times. It’s nothing major and easy to put back together, but something to keep in mind if your little one is on the energetic side like mine. Overall, this is a cute toy that provides a lot of laughs for such a simple design. For the price, it’s definitely worth it, and it’s become a fun little distraction that both of my kids enjoy. I love finding toys like this that entertain without all the bells and whistles—just good, clean fun!

This little one will be your best friend at your work desk! Get one for a friend too! So cute! Works great! LOVE the fuzzy hair!

I think these wooden bird toys are classic (German?) handicrafts. I remember seeing them as a child. Got one for a young boy with disabilities and he was able to simply tap the bird to make it move down the pole. (You need to brace the stand while pulling the bird back to the top, though.) This woodpecker makes me laugh every time his crazy feather head bobs around. Reminds me of a Muppet! Worth buying as a gift or a simple desk toy for an office colleague. Fun to do.

My bird does not down correctly, starts and stops. I bought as a gift and it was past return window when they opened it and I realized the malfunction. Disappointed

I’m in the middle on this one. The toy is fun. First time I ordered it, it arrived in good condition and the kids really enjoy it. Second one that I ordered as a gift arrived bent due to Amazon cramming it into too small of a box. The pole bent and the pecker don’t peck

This little woodpecker is so well made. I initially bought it for my cats.. but they would destroy it. I show it to them, but I keep it at my work area. Great price, and great quality. So cute! Kids love it.. not just cats! Ha!

Der Specht ist sehr schön, leider ist die Stange etwas gebogen, so dass der Vogel teilweise herunterhüpft und sich nicht gelichmässig von oben nach unten bewegt. Für den Preis hätte ich mir ein wirklich besser verarbeitetes Spielzeug erwartet. Die Ware ist in China hergestellt. Werde ihn nicht umtauschen, ich erwarte nicht, dass ein anderer keine Mängel hätte. Irgendwie schade.

Simple and fun! You need to pull the head backwards in a spring-like motion at the top of the pole and the woodpecker will peck its way down the pole. Otherwise, the woodpecker will simply slide down the pole without pecking. Its really not rocket science. Its a simple fun toy. My cat loves it too.

Muy simpático y colorido.

Little smaller than I thought but cute

Un jeu de très courte durée (la descente du pic bois dure moins de 5 secondes). Beau petit cadeau de bas de Noël.
