    Great for my 13 month old
    Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog has been a delightful addition to our home, providing not only fun but also educational value for my little one. This toy is brilliantly designed to foster fine motor skills development, and it’s wonderful to see my child’s hand muscles strengthen as they play.The chunky, peg-shaped quills are perfect for small hands to grasp, making it an excellent toy for both toddlers and preschoolers. The vibrant colors of the quills are not just appealing; they serve as a fantastic tool for teaching color recognition, sorting, and counting. It’s been amazing to watch my child arrange the quills by warm or cool colors, create sequences and patterns, and count them as they play.Another aspect I appreciate about Spike is its use in occupational therapy exercises. It’s a great resource for parents and therapists looking for engaging ways to improve fine motor skills in children. Additionally, its suitability for visually impaired children highlights its inclusive design.Storage is a breeze with this toy. After playtime, the quills fit snugly inside the hedgehog’s body, making clean-up easy and keeping all pieces secure and organized. The plastic material is easy to clean, which is a must for any toy in a busy household.In conclusion, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog is more than just a toy; it’s a valuable educational tool that aids in the development of crucial skills while ensuring hours of fun. Its thoughtful design, educational benefits, and ease of storage make it a top choice for any parent looking to enrich their child’s playtime.

    Cute little toy that’s perfect for little ones!
    Perfect even for two year olds! We got this for our little when she was one and she absolutely loved it! She still plays with it. It’s lightweight, but, durable plastic. Of course she used to put everything in her mouth and these have stood the test of time! Definitely worth it! Helps counting and fine motor skills.

    Hedgie is my son’s best friend!
    My son loves this toy so much. It really helps with those fine motor skills that he has been struggling with, learning counting skills and identifying colors. He’s also learning about companionship, and pals around with Hedgie, which is adorable and constantly has him smiling.

    Wonderful Little Toy
    This little hedgehog is not only cute but it’s a great toy for children to work on their fine motor skills. It’s a relief to find toys like this that do not light up or make unnecessary sounds so they can work on one sensory at a time. My 14 month old can place the pegs into the holes on the hedgehog but depending on how hard he places them in, he has a little trouble pulling them out again. For an older baby I think they would have no problem at all.

    Very cute
    Love this toy. Helpful with plenty of things like colors numbers and motor skills plus little tots just love pulling and putting in things of any sorts this just makes it safer and more colorful and enjoyable I think for them.Only thing I wish is maybe it’d be easier to pull out while the hedge hog stayed in place instead of lifting up the entire thing when learning to pull out a spike but I mean that’s a trivial thing overall for the price and adorable look and quality being fantastic and the purpose of the toy overall…it kinda does meet all expectations in the end so it’s more like a 4.5 stars for me. Portability and storage inside the animal so you don’t hace a mess of spikes everywhere or lose them. Easy to use and handle. Not made cheaply either shockingly. No loud obnoxious noise or annoying sounds from this toy either! Always a plus. Little man loves it.Definitely would say I recommend to other mothers and customers looking into making the purchase.

    Noise Free Entertainment
    Who doesn’t love a noise free toy nowadays? I love this developmentally conscious toy for my niece who is just over a year old. It keeps her entertained and works on her fine motor skills at the same time. It’s easy to clean too which is a plus. There is no battery or cord so you can take this with you anywhere. It’s also not too big or bulky so it’s easy to bring along. As you can see, it’s not very expensive either so it’s a great gift as well.

    My 1.5 year old loves this guy!
    My toddler absolutely loves this! He is still in the throwing and mouthing everything phase, so I really like that these are plastic so no one gets hurt and the product does not get paint peeling off (like you find with some wooden toys). Also this little guy is so cute! I like that this has bright colors and that the spikes can be stores in the product itself, as we rotate our toys so this is super helpful to make sure no parts get lost.

    Lovely bright toy that the kids love to sit and play with. Fabulous for hand eye coordination!Only downside, the spikes are quite soft plastic so easily ruined by toddlers using them whilst teething.

    Mon fils adore jouer avec cet hérisson. C’est une activité qui l’occupe et l’intéresse. Elle développe bien la motricité. Le corps du hérisson est détachable pour ranger les piques à l’intérieur, bébé peut même le faire lui même 🙂

    Mia figlia di 14 mesi lo adora. Passa molto tempo sia ad infilare i bastoncini sia a fare altri giochi come spostarli di qui e di lì. Gli aculei sono grandi quindi non c’è il rischio che li ingerisca
