Learning Resources Spike The Fine Motor Hedgehog First Words Book Set

Wonderful therapy toy for parents of children (toddlers) needing practice with fine motor skills, or even following directions and focusing skills. Can be used by professional interventionalist as well.

I bought Spike for my granddaughter when she was about 12 months old. She’s about 18 months old now and still enjoys putting the colorful spikes in the hedgehog as she says the colors. My daughter didn’t understand when I bought it because it doesn’t “do anything” but now she gets it. It’s for teaching fine motor skills. I got the idea from her favorite teacher (Ms Rachel). It’s one of the few toys that stays in rotation (along with the fake ice cream cones haha)!!

I bought this toy for my son when he was about 9 months old, and he still plays with it now at 2.5. It is nice and colorful, and definitely helped him with his fine motor skills. He had trouble getting the quills into the holes at first. It has provided hours of entertainment.We did lose some quills, and he was very upset. So, I ended up buying a second one to replace it. The quills fit inside the toy when not in use. So, it is fairly easy to keep them together if you are intentional about cleaning it up when they are done playing.

Child is happy with this toy and enjoys being read to.

My 2 year old loves this toy. Easy enough for open by herself. The spikes are easy in and easy out for great independent play. There’s number play and color play as well. Great toy.

Great for kids to learn how to use motor skills,

My 1 year old son loves this toy. It helps with fine motor skills, he loves the colorful “spikes”, and he plays with it every day! Such a fun little toy

My toddler loves this toy. Great for colors and counting.
