Grimm's Hedgehog Grasping Toy

The Grimm's Hedgehog Grasping Toy is a handcrafted wooden toy from Europe designed to delight babies and support early sensory and motor development. Following the principles of Waldorf Education, it encourages exploration through touch, movement, and gentle play, helping little ones develop coordination, focus, and creativity.

Measuring 11 cm in length, the Hedgehog is perfectly sized for tiny hands to grasp, shake, and hold. Its smooth, rounded body makes it comfortable for babies while doubling as a safe teething toy, providing relief for sore gums. The natural alder wood offers a tactile experience with a warm texture and subtle scent that stimulates the senses, making each interaction engaging and inviting.

This versatile grasper can also be paired with a play silk, allowing small children to discover new textures while older children can use it to create movement, adding a playful, imaginative dimension. Each piece is unique thanks to the alder wood’s natural grain and structure, which is highlighted with a non-toxic, plant-based oil finish.

Lightweight, durable, and crafted for repeated exploration, the Hedgehog Grasping Toy is a timeless first toy designed to be touched, held, and cherished, supporting sensory play and teething. Learn all about this wonderful brand in our Grimm’s Toy Guide.

Suitable from newborn.

About Grimm's

Grimm's toys are inspired by the principles of Waldorf Steiner and are designed with the intention of helping children discover and develop their own creativity through simplicity of shapes, leaving plenty of room for independent play and imagination. Inspired by the educational philosophies of Rudolf Steiner, Grimm's puzzles, building sets, and toys are about the rainbow, happy colors, creativity, and the imagination. There are no instructions, and you can do no wrong with a Grimm's toy. Just play, learn, and enjoy.

Please note: as Grimm's uses non-lacquered wood, some paint transfer can occur during play. This is considered normal. Non-lacquered wood has a lovely texture - the rough texture of the stained wood is not only an important tactile sensory experience for children, but those rough surfaces makes it possible to build in many different ways, because the parts do not slide down so easily as the wood surface is still natural and not covered with a layer of bright enamel; however if you are concerned about paint transfer we suggest you purchase another item that is lacquered to be on the safe side.
