Viga PolarB Hedgehog with Sorting Wheel wooden baby toy multicolour for 1+ players

Viga PolarB Hedgehog with Sorting Wheel is a wooden baby toy designed for early tactile play and motor development. The pull-along hedgehog moves as the back rolls, combining locomotion encouragement with a removable sorting wheel that accepts shaped blocks. One side of the wheel has shaped holes for matching and inserting blocks, while the opposite side features a soft covered surface that lets small hands feel and identify shapes by touch. Constructed from painted wood in a multicolour finish, this toy supports hand-eye coordination and simple problem-solving for infants and toddlers.

Advantages

The design combines movement and shape-sorting in one compact toy, encouraging standing and walking through the pull-along function while developing fine motor skills via the sorting wheel. The removable wheel offers dual sensory feedback: a visible matching activity and a tactile guessing game. Durable wooden construction and painted surfaces provide a stable, easy-to-grasp form suited to early childhood handling.

Suitable for

• Encouraging first steps and pull-along walking practice
• Developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
• Early shape recognition and problem-solving activities
• Sensory play using touch with the soft-covered wheel side
• Solo play or guided group activity with caregivers

Key specifications

• Material: Painted wood with soft-covered fabric detail
• Finish: Multicolour paint
• Main functions: Pull-along movement and removable shape sorting wheel
• Included components: Hedgehog pull toy and shaped blocks for sorting
• Recommended age: Infants and toddlers (early years)

How to use

Place the hedgehog on a flat surface and attach the pull string if available to demonstrate movement. Show the child how the back rolls as the toy is pulled to encourage walking and balance. Remove the sorting wheel and present the shaped blocks, guiding the child to match each block to its corresponding hole and insert it into the wheel. Flip the wheel to the soft-covered side to let the child explore shapes by touch and attempt to identify or retrieve blocks without visual cues.

Usage recommendations

Supervise play for infants and toddlers, especially during pull-along activity. Regularly check painted surfaces and the wheel attachment for wear and ensure the shaped blocks remain intact. Clean wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and avoid soaking to preserve the finish and fabric cover.
