This hedgehog lost his quills and needs your little one\'s help to get them back! Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog is an engaging toy designed to develop crucial early childhood skills through playful interaction. As children place the chunky, peg-shaped quills into the holes on Spike\'s back, they\'re actively strengthening hand muscles and developing essential fine motor coordination. The perfectly sized quills are ideal for small hands to grasp, promoting the proper grip that will later help with writing skills. The vibrant, multi-colored quills become natural tools for teaching color recognition, sorting, and counting concepts. What makes Spike especially parent-friendly is its clever design for easy storage and cleanup. After playtime, all 12 colorful quills fit neatly inside Spike\'s body, which snaps shut securely to prevent lost pieces. Perfect for ages 18 months and up, Spike has become a favorite among parents, teachers, and occupational therapists. Many reviewers note how this simple toy keeps children engaged for surprisingly long periods, making it an excellent choice for travel or at home. Whether used for developmental support or just for fun, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog delivers educational value while bringing smiles to little faces as they help this friendly hedgehog regain his colorful quills!
