Two-sided design and learning cues

The two-sided construction supports varied sensory input: one side showcases a colorful Count With Me motif inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar, with an embroidered 1-2-3 count patch that nods to early numeracy. The opposite side presents a solid ribbed fabric for a different tactile feel and added interest during snuggle time.
