User questions & answers

Question:	what is it made of
Answer:	They are plastic and soft. my boy in the beginning used them as a teethers :)
Question:	Can the kids bite pieces off
Answer:	My kid bit on it a lot but never managed to broke it! It is quite flexible quality
Question:	It is BPA free
Answer:	The “Learning Resources Fresh Picked Fruit and Veggie Tote” does not contain BPA. I hope that helps.
Question:	Do these toys contain BPA
Answer:	Hmmm, I just got my response from Learning Resources, and got a different response. Perhaps the difference is because Liana asked this question in 2013, and maybe they make the product differently now. This was the email I received:Thank you for contacting Learning Resources, we appreciate your inquiry. We are firm believers in safety first. All of our toys pass rigorous independent safety tests before we release them into the market. The products for children are BPA compliant. They also meet the phthalate requirements established by the CPSIA. All of our children's products are non-toxic and lead-free. If you have any further questions or concerns, please send your inquiry to our quality assurance team directly to: [email protected]. Thank you,Customer ServiceLearning Resources/Educational Insights380 North Fairway DriveVernon Hills, IL 60061*E-Mail: [email protected]'Toll Free: 800-222-39096Fax: 888-892-8731So, this makes me feel like the product DOES contain BPA. If it didn't contain BPA, the person responding would simply say, "This product does not contain BPA." However, they said, "The products for children are BPA compliant." However, I didn't ask them if the product was "BPA compliant." I asked if it contained BPA. It is not illegal to put BPA in products, so this toy can, and probably does contain BPA, but can also be compliant with the law at the same time.Annoying. Guess I'm taking this toy out of my shopping cart. Also annoying that companies are sneaky and dishonest. Rather than just answering your question in a straight forward manner, they cross their fingers and hope that the person asking the question lacks reading comprehension skills. Disappointed in this company.

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.
