Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog – Toddler Learning Toy

Spike lost his quills — and only your little one can help put them back! The original Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog from Learning Resources helps toddlers build hand strength and fine motor skills as they place chunky, peg-shaped quills into the holes on Spike’s back.

But the learning doesn’t stop there! Spike’s bright, colorful quills are perfect for practicing counting, sorting, patterning, and color recognition. Kids can group warm and cool colors, create simple patterns, or count along using the numbers printed on Spike’s back.
