## Description

Meet Spike, the colorful hedgehog who needs your child's help to get his quills back! This adorable fine motor skills toy has quickly become a favorite among parents, educators, and children alike for its simple yet effective approach to early childhood development. As little hands grasp the chunky, peg-shaped quills and carefully place them into the holes on Spike's back, they're actually building crucial hand muscles and developing the fine motor coordination that will support future writing, buttoning, and other important skills. But Spike offers so much more than just motor skills development. Parents and teachers love using this versatile toy to introduce color recognition by asking children to identify or sort the quills by color. The numbered holes on Spike's back (1-12) make counting practice fun and concrete, while the different colored quills invite creative pattern-making and sequencing activities. Parents consistently report that Spike engages children for extended periods -Many find it remarkable how this seemingly simple toy holds children's interest from 18 months through preschool years, adapting to their developing skills and understanding. Whether used for independent play or guided learning activities, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog combines playful engagement with developmental benefits

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are the quills rubber or plastic?**
A: The quills on mine are NOT rubber, but are a sturdy, hollow plastic. That being said, I'm sure a set of strong gums / teeth could make permanent indents in them because they are hollow. Each quill has a very tiny hole in each end (1.5 mm wide), probably for manufacturing purposes, but it's big enough that saliva or bathwater could get trapped inside and grow gunk if you aren't careful. Each quill is 3 5/8" long. The circular part that pokes into the hedgehog body is about 5/8" in diameter and slides 1" into the body. The ergonomic end for little fingers to hold is a 7/8" x 5/8" oval.

**Q: Is there a way to obtain replacement quills? We had emailed the listed address and the message was returned. Thank you!**
A: Also came here with the same question

**Q: How long can it be used?**
A: Love this toy my grandson does it over and over! Not only good for colors but also numbers and coordination

**Q: Is it good for travel?**
A: Yes, the spikes fit into the shell for easy storage. If planning to use in a vehicle or airplane I would suggest a travel tray.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toddler approved
*by E***D on November 10, 2025*

My son is loving this toy, he is 21 months currently. It’s the perfect amount of challenge for him but it’s also doable and he has fun doing it. It is a very good quality and durable toy. I like that you can store the spikes inside, making it portable and also easy to store and clean up. The spikes themselves have little grips on the end that make it easy for their little hands to grab. I’m happy I found a toy my son actually likes as they are always a hit or miss!
