My maternal grandma had this little tube in her basement. I remember crawling through it with my siblings when we were little. That tunnel and this weird little green oven are the only toys I remember ever playing with at her house when we would visit. When I saw a Princess tunnel at Target years ago, I had to have it. It is a very nostalgic toy for me. Luckily all of my children have enjoyed it as well. All except for Peter. He is terrified of the thing. It started out well... he smiled at me through the long tunnel...
Then he tried to stand up and see if he could magically get me to appear right in front of him.
After sitting there for several minutes he just started to cry and cry. I kept coaxing him to crawl through. I even sat him inside of it so that he'd have to crawl through. (I'm a horrible mother, I know... Lincoln kept saying, "Why are you torturing your baby?!" Charming.)
After awhile he gave up and decided that crawling around it would be much easier...
We'll try again soon and see if he decides that it's way more fun than scary.
