đą Hungry Cat: Spaghetti Motor Skills Game
Turn fine motor skills development into a fun mealtime! Hungry Cat is an engaging educational toy designed to help children practice coordination, patience, and dexterity in a playful, "non-violent" way.
The goal is simple but challenging: Thread the "spaghetti" (string) through the cat's mouth and wind it onto the roller to help the kitty finish its meal.

Requirements (Hardware):
