12 best toys for 18 month olds

Product description

This Hedgehog lost his quills and only your little ones can help him get them back! Spike is a fine motor skills toy that helps kids build hand muscles and fine motor skills development as they replace the chunky, peg-shaped “quills” within the holes that dot the smiling hedgehog’s back. The learning doesn't end there—spike's colorful quills also lend themselves well to lessons in counting, sorting, and color identification skills. Kids can arrange quills by warm or cool colors, work on sequences and patterns by alternating colors, or count the quills with numbers printed on this fine motor toy for Toddlers. Once playtime is over, the Hedgehog is a snap to clean up—each piece is made of plastic that can be easily wiped clean, and the quills stow snugly inside the Hedgehog body.

• FINE MOTOR GAMES FOR KIDS: Build fine motor skills with chunky, peg-shaped pieces that fit to the back of this friendly hedgehog. Also use Spike as for occupational therapy exercises
• DEVELOP: Colorful quills help kids build color recognition, sorting, and counting skills through fine motor skill games. Spike is also a great toy for visually impaired children!
• TODDLER TOYS: Now fine motor intrinsic toys come with easy to grasp pieces that are just the right size for little toddler and preschool hands to hold. Fine motor set includes 2-piece hedgehog about 6” in diameter, 12 quills, and activity guide
• EASY STORAGE: When playtime over the quills easily fit in the Hedgehog
• EASTER TOYS: For toddlers ages 18 months+

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the diameter of the quills
Answer:	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.
Question:	Is it good for travel
Answer:	Also came here with the same question
Question:	Is there a way to obtain replacement quills? We had emailed the listed address and the message was returned. Thank you
Answer:	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.
Question:	are the quills rubber or plastic
Answer:	Probably not. Just wash it first.

Product description

A beloved classic toy gets an exciting new twist with this deluxe pounding bench. As the colorful, non-removable pegs on the bench go up and down, they play peekaboo, taking turns showing their friendly smiles while the child has fun practicing fine motor skills. And you’ll enjoy that because the pegs are attached, they can’t get lost. A sturdy wooden mallet is included. Children delight in striking a peg with the mallet and watching one on the opposite side pop up. Once kids have seen this cause-and-effect in action, they will enjoy predicting which peg will pop up next. As they develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, they will also be learning numbers and colors by counting the pegs and naming each color as it pops up. The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench Wooden Toy makes a great gift for kids 2 to 4 years. This product measures 5.25" H x 10" L x 5" W and includes a sturdy wooden mallet. Add the Melissa & Doug Wooden Latches Board to round out the developmental play and learning experience. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.

Question:	Do the rings float

User questions & answers

Question:	If I wait till cyber Monday will it be here in time for Christmas
Answer:	The house is nice and we used it for a cat too. But we wrapped the inside with plastic and a type of insulation that is kind of like drywall. The walls is are not air tight and would let drafts and such in. Jerry is a male diva too.
Question:	Is this bpa free
Answer:	I am about to purchase this to replace a cedar dog house that has survived for 15 years. I also have a cedar shed of about the same age. I weather-proofed it by applying a wood stain, which I'd recommend over sealing the wood because cedar is a great flea and tick repellent. I'd say go to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask in the paint department for a recommendation on what to use with cedar. Whatever you use, it should be renewed every few years to maintain efficiency.
Question:	Where is toy manufactured
Answer:	Yes, it can. The porch provides no structural function to the main house.
Question:	Is this okay for a one year old
Answer:	Hello, I think that this would be okay for baby pygmy goats, but I would worry that they would not be able to fit through the door as they get older, and wider. The doors are 12.75" Wide so I would measure your goats to make sure they'll be able to comfortably get into the house. Thank you

User questions & answers

Question:	what are the sizes
Answer:	Not sure of the actual size but my 10 month old grandson loves it and will probably play with for a couple of years at least.
Question:	What age(s)? My grandson is turning 2, but reviews describe children much younger
Answer:	Hi, I gave this to my grandson for his 1st birthday and he ignored all his other presents to play with it. His older brother, age 4 also seemed intrigued by the truck. I would guess that 2 years would be near the top of the age range for this toy, but if your grandson likes vehicles in general, I'd say go for it. It has some cute features and the price is great, especially if you have Amazon Prime and benefit from the free shipping. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can extra "rocks" be purchased separately
Answer:	1-2 year olds will lose these 'rocks' faster than you can say 'random launch sites'. Wiffle (practice) golf balls (1.6 in) are actually NOT the right size. They are too small to trip the counting sensor as the ball enters the hole. If you want extra balls, search for 1.75 in balls. They can be found on Amazon.
Question:	Is the plastic BPA free
Answer:	Dear Pit C.,VTech Drop and Go Dump Truck is Bisphenol A or Bisphenol S free, all VTech toys are conformed to US Toy Safety Standard. Toy Safety is our top priority. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
