Hape x The Met Walk with William Pull-Along Toy
$189.00
Hape x The Met Walk with William Pull-Along Toy is designed for toddlers ages 1–3 years, transforming an iconic work of art into an engaging toy that supports early walking and exploration. As children pull, observe, and interact with William, they naturally develop balance, coordination, and motor control through active play. Inspired by William®, the famous blue hippo from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian art collection, this toy features a vivid blue body and lotus-inspired details that reflect the original figure’s distinctive look and cultural significance.
As little ones pull William along, the hippo’s belly spins while in motion, adding visual movement and sensory interest with every step. This playful cause-and-effect feature encourages toddlers to keep moving, stay curious, and enjoy independent discovery. Designed with sturdy wheels, a soft pull cord, and smooth rounded edges, it is easy for small hands to handle and ideal for repeated everyday play. Pulling and following the toy helps strengthen gross motor skills, balance, hand-eye coordination, and early sensory integration.
Developed in collaboration with Hape and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with guidance from early childhood experts, this toy is both an active learning companion and an art-inspired introduction to culture in everyday play. Whether chosen as a toddler’s first pull-along toy, a screen-free play essential, or a thoughtful gift, William the Hippo offers a playful, educational, and beautifully designed experience.
