ring in the stick or stick in the ring ?

Mama:
My sis got this "I'm Toy" for Cayden's birthday. He finally get to open it yesterday. (We are rationing his birthday presents so that his interests can last).



Children will love this colourful caterpillar. Your child will learn to count either by colours or by stacking the rings up. Each ring, likewise the caterpillar head, becomes a bead if diverts a play to lacing activities. The caterpillar wooden nose or tail can function as a lacing stick.

Cayden did neither the counting nor the stacking.......He pulled out every ring and stick and swept the rings across the room.....and then laughed at his own actions. The closest thing he did (as opposed to the intended purpose of the toy) was to pull out the stick and put it through the ring and start shaking hard with it.

so for the time being now, it is stick in the ring and not ring in the stick.
