Inspired by the best-selling Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog by Learning Resources, kids build four skills at once with Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog Puzzle Playmate! Children strengthen their color, shape and number recognition while building essential fine motor skills through puzzle-style play. Sized for little hands, pieces include 5 numbered quills and 5 shape pieces with easy-grasp handles on a puzzle board.
Evaluation comments:
“I love this early introduction to puzzles for babies. This is a great way to bring in numbers, colors and shapes. The colors are fun and vibrant and the hedgehog is adorable.”
“This is a great toy for babies and young toddlers to get introduced to fundamental concepts. It’s a 2 in 1 activity that has a shape puzzle and a 1-5 number activity. There are 5 colorful shapes and 5 quills that you can work on counting and sequencing. The pieces are softer than plastic and slightly bendable so it’s great for little fingers and hands to work on fine motor skills.”
