Cat Popper
The Cat Popper is a playful learning toy where children snap buttons into place, wind them up, and watch them pop and fly into the air. After winding, the cat sits adorably on top—making the experience both engaging and fun.
The plastic hook uses the same type of safe buttons commonly found on baby clothing. Natural variations in the wood are intentionally preserved, allowing children to enjoy differences in color and texture.
How to Play (Step by Step)
The drawer contains a variety of different button shapes.
Pull the cat to reveal a cord about 160 cm long.
Snap the buttons onto the belt.
Turn the handle to wind the belt.
The buttons release and fly into the air—an action children love to repeat again and again.

After winding, the cat sits adorably on top, ready for the next round of play.
