The Classic World hedgehog – play a tune, knock the balls through and fit the shapes!

This 3-in-1 wooden hedgehog is a great multi-functional toy that lets little ones play in lots of ways. It's a xylophone, a hammer game and a sorter all at once. Children use the hammer to knock the colourful balls through, fit blocks of the matching shape or colour into the side, and tap the colourful xylophone keys with the hammer to make them ring. The xylophone has 5 notes – few enough for a small child to manage, yet enough to play simple tunes, such as from fairy tales. The set includes 2 balls to hammer and 4 blocks to sort. Made of varnished wood painted with non-toxic paints. Size 22.9 × 11.8 × 15 cm, from 12 months.
