wood body & brass wheels
Hochdorf
4"x2.5"x1"

Hedgehogs are common in Europe but they are not native to the United States, although, they are one of the first mammals and have changed little over the past 15 million years. We had one in the garden when I lived in Stockholm, he/she would visit almost every evening at the height of the summer. We lived in the center of the city so this was a surprise but we also saw foxes and a long eared hare would sometimes run down the adjacent street, leading me to think I was having a mystic moment. Until today when I researched hedgehogs I always thought our garden hedgehog was a porcupine, no wonder as I am from the US! This hedgehog is colored with natural pigment and has little brass wheels it rolls around on. It is a simple, natural toy. German toys are truly the best!
