Meet Spike — Australia's Softest Echidna

Born as Simon, he earned the nickname Spike from Ken the Kookaburra — a name he initially resented, until he appreciated the irony. Because as echidnas go, Spike's spines are the smoothest and softest in all of Australia. He's a delight to hold, and The Little Country Store loves him as a uniquely Australian gift for new little ones.

Made for Little Hands, Made to Last

From Nana Huchy — Melbourne-based, 100% Australian owned, and crafting beautiful toys since 2003 — Spike is independently safety tested, ethically made, and suitable from birth. At 12 cm, he's a perfect size for tiny hands to grip and shake. His gentle rattle sound responds naturally to baby's movement, encouraging action-reaction learning and that satisfying sense of cause and effect.

Care Instructions

Gentle cold machine wash. Do not tumble dry.
