Great multi-use toy!
This toy gets so much use! It gives our toddler good fine motor practice and the size is perfect; it’s very easy to clean up and store away. Very affordable too! When she is older we can use it for counting, teaching colors, making patterns, etc. Plus it is just very cute! She wants to play with it every day.

Great Product
Love this educational hedgehog! It opens to store all the pieces inside for easy clean up. Very good for teaching holding a pen, colors, counting, and patterns. Recommend for 15+ months.

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.

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.

1st Birthday gift
This was a good gift for 1st birthday. Functions week for 1-3 year olds for us. May be appropriate for others but my kids are in this range. It’s the perfect size for toddlers to carry around and play with everywhere! Cute colors too.
