Introduce your little one to the joys of making noise with the Happy Hedgehog Percussion Instrument! This guiro-style instrument is a great way to introduce young children to new sounds and helps them build a sense of rhythm. The smiling face and bright colors encourage kids to pick up and play! Simply pull the baton from the hedgehog’s nose and run it along the spikes to create percussive sounds. Little ones will be delighted by how changes in pressure and direction alter the noises they make, all while deepening their understanding of cause and effect. Perfect for ages 18mo+, playing the guiro develops fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, sensory awareness, and auditory learning. Made using FSC wood. Packaging printed using 75% recycled materials, FSC paper, and vegetable inks.
