Early Learning

Children will spend hours sorting and stacking shapes according to their comparable attributes! These large sized pegs are easy for small hands to handle.

Includes:

• ** Pegboard with 25 holes
• * 25 pegs - 5 red, 5 orange, 5 pink, 5 green and 5 blue
• ** Each color has 5 shapes - square, circle, triangle, star and hexagon

Board measures 9.5'L x 9.5'W x .5'H

Grades: Toddler+

Common Core State Standards Alignment:

Measurement & Data

Learning Style:

Tactile, Visual

Skill Development:

Organization-Have students sort the pegs by color or shape. Then have them stack or place the pegs in rows on the pegboard, again by color or shape. This trains their brains to identify and discriminate between similarities and differences, and focus on visual details, developing visual perceptual skills needed to strengthen overall organization skills.

Fine Motor - Picking up, placing, and removing pegs is good practice in grasping and helps students develop hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and the pincer grasp.

Math -Introduce students to repeating patterns, like orange-green-orange-green or circle-triangle-square-circle-triangle-square. Helping students recognize and understand basic patterns prepares them for more advanced math skills such as skip counting, order, and prediction.

Our hedgehog lost his quills, and only your little ones can help him get them back!

New from Learning Resources, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog helps kids build up hand muscles and fine motor skills 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 the quills by warm or cool colors, work on sequences and patterns by alternating colors, or count up the quills with the help of numbers printed on the hedgehog's back. Once playtime is over, Spike the Fine Motor 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's body, which adds simplicity to storage too.

**Kids build their fine motor skills as they restore the chunky, peg-shaped 'quills' to the back of this friendly hedgehog

**The hedgehog's colorful quills also help kids build color recognition, sorting, and counting skills

**Easy-to-grasp quills are just the right size for little hands to hold

**When playtime's over, quills store within hedgehog for easy cleanup and storage

**Age Under 2

**Grade Toddler+
