Melissa & Doug Happy Giddy Tunnel
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.

Response from company about toxic PVC I had purchased this for my daughter and was alarmed to read the review about the toxic PVC. So, I emailed Melissa & Doug and this was the response I received:
Contains toxic PVC – but easily remedied! Our children absolutely enjoy this toy, it is colorful and fun! HOWEVER, the eyes are made out of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PVC contains extremely toxic chemicals called phthalates that continue to offgas for years (the “new” smell) even past when your nose can detect it and are readily absorbed through skin contact directly into the bloodstream. New studies are showing very serious consequences to the hormonal systems of humans, especially children, when exposed to phthalates – the younger the…
A good purchase! I bought this for my youngest son’s 1st birthday. He loves it and so does his 4 year old brother! We have had it for almost a year now and they still pull it out at least once a week. My 4 year old will actually pull around the tunnel while my 1 (almost 2) year old is in the tube and they think it’s the greatest thing ever. I’m aware that is not its intended usage but it is a testament to its durability. No rips, holes or tears to date.
