Friendly Hedgehog Toddler Busy Book
The Friendly Hedgehog Baby Busy Book is Hi Buy Mama’s first handmade toddler busy book, featuring eight colourful, fully sewn activity pages designed to engage younger toddlers in sensory and imaginative play.

Created to withstand enthusiastic toddler use, the book is 100% sewn with no glued parts. While little ones can enjoy independent play, the activities also offer wonderful opportunities for parent–child interaction and guided learning.
Recommended for ages 9 months to 3 years old. Adult supervision is always recommended. The only small loose parts are the rain drops on the Unicorn Rainbow page.
