Children will love crawling through the caterpillar design of the Melissa & Doug Happy Giddy Tunnel. The material is water-repellant, so it can be used both inside and outdoors, and spills and messes can be conveniently wiped off. The tunnel is designed for kids ages three and up. With a durable, padded steel-frame and almost 5 feet of space, this tunnel offers plenty of play space. Each end is covered with a flexible flip-up door, and the lengthy tunnel easily packs into a small circle for storage.

Water-Repellant, Easy-to-Clean Material
With its water-repellant design, the Happy Giddy tunnel can be used inside and outside. This also means it can be easily wiped clean, so you won't have to worry about spills and messes. The tunnel should not be exposed to sunlight or moisture for long periods of time, as this can result in color fade or mildew.
Colorful 5-Foot Tunnel
The Happy Giddy tunnel is nearly 5 feet long, providing plenty of space for small people to play and explore. Kids can enjoy hide-and-seek games with flip-up doors on each end. Each door features a large clear plastic caterpillar eye that lets children peek out at the world or peer inside the tunnel. A rainbow of stripes gives the tunnel an exciting, colorful appearance.
Durable Steel-Frame Design
The sturdy frame of the tunnel is made from flexible steel to withstand the bumps and bends that naturally come with play. The frame is padded to be comfortable on small knees. Secure stitching on the doors and along all parts of the tunnel will keep the tube in shape for years of use.
Engaging Caterpillar Design
Caterpillar details add to the fun of the tunnel. Each end features a flip-up caterpillar face, complete with brilliant orange antennae. Sixteen blue feet line the bottom sides of the tunnel, and they are loose enough to flop around as the tunnel moves.
Convenient Storage and Setup
Even though the Happy Giddy tunnel offers a large space for children to play, it packs into a small, flat circle that can be conveniently stored. With three simple Velcro straps, the tunnel snaps open easily when it's playtime.
Setting up the tunnel doors is simple, too: two Velcro straps on the top of the tunnel ends clasp around the top of the caterpillar's head, creating the flip-up style door on both ends. Since the Velcro clasps are flexible, the doors will not break if twisted sideways.

Product Description
Customer Reviews
"To answer your question yes, the eyes are made with PVC. We have a very stringent testing program at Melissa & Doug, and we take the safety and quality of our products very seriously. We test all of our products to the standards required by the US Government. Generally the concern with PVC is that there are phthalates. We have tested the tunnel many times and we have test reports that show non-detectable levels for phthalates."
Just thought others would be interested.
Good news? There is a very simple solution to quickly get rid of the toxic PVC on this product & instantly remove the "new" smell it causes. Puncture the plastic eye hole with scissors and then cut with the scissors open (they will glide while cutting like good wrapping paper), go around the entire outer circle until the pvc is removed. There are no sharp edges since the pvc is softened with phthalates, and although this technique will not remove all of the toxins, it will significantly reduce your child's exposure since the remaining PVC is sewn into the eye seam of the caterpillar.
Even better news? By removing the toxic PVC eyes, your child can now play hide n seek through a "window" - it looks exceptionally cute with their little head poking out! They can also learn to throw bean bags through the opening, practicing coordination and aim. By removing the bad stuff from this product, it actually makes it more fun alongside being healthier too! Enjoy! I rate this item 4 stars post-pvc removal, 2 stars before since it contains known toxins banned in many countries.
It's very lightweight, easy to collapse and store and is very durable. The flaps are a nice touch too. I highly recommend it.
