A durable toy
I bought this for baby grandson when he was 10 months old. He could just about place one of the spikes. Four months on he still loves it. He has not got the concentration to fit all of the spikes but it is good for hand eye coordination. We play feeding the hedgehog and the spikes have been used as pretend characters when he is playing with his vehicles. You can store the spikes in the toy so that the spikes don’t get lost. Nice quality plastic.

2 year old loves this
My 2 year old loves this toy. I bought for a plane journey a few months ago. This kept her entertained for a long time. Good quality for the price. Great Colourful design. Opens up to store the ‘spikes’ making it easy to carry around and not worry about losing parts.

Great to improve basic motor skills
This is a great toy to improve your childs motor skills. Although it states 18m+, I think you can use it from 12m+, make sure your child is supervised thought as the pines can be a choking hazard if your child decides to put the whole thing in their mouth!. My son loves this toy now and has done so since he was 18+, he loves to stick the pines in all over the place and take them out and re-arrange them. sometimes placing them in colour coordination.Although the hedgehog has number the pines dont, it would have been even better if the pines had numbers on them as it would have helped with number learning and matching as well.You can open the back of the hedgehog to places all the pines inside, so it can be tidied away nearly.I have not be honest though, I dont think this is worth the price tag of £16.99, I would expect a toy to have a few more functionality for this price. But the toy itself is great for the age range.I can vouch this is also Chew Proof!! My son is a vicious chewer and this toy has stood the test of time.

Good, but annoying
My daughter loved this, but it’s she has never been able to put the 2 body parts back together. You have to make sure it’s in the exact right place. It’s a good toy, but I’d say this needs fixing as she was very frustrated everytime the back come off and couldn’t get it back on.

Love it
Our 1-Year-Old was bought this and he loved it so much that we bought it for his friend's birthday party. I try not to buy much plastic but this is something that I felt as education and has fun associated with it. There aren't any loose parts that will should cause danger and is pretty sturdy for them to play on their own.

Affordable and versatile
Surprisingly good value for money. Lots of skills to build and schemas to support in a single toy - fine motor, sorting/colour/pattern recognition, memory, counting, transporting. Makes for a perfect gift!

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.
