Little Dutch Activity Spiral - Safari Friends
Look, feel, and discover, the Little Dutch Soft Activity Spiral in Safari Friends is a simple, versatile toy designed to keep a baby happily occupied wherever they happen to be.
It wraps easily around the bars of a cot, playpen, or pram, bringing a trio of soft safari companions, an alligator, a lion, and an elephant within easy reach for grabbing, batting, and exploring.
Made from soft corduroy and polyester, each little friend offers a slightly different shape and texture to discover, giving baby plenty of sensory variety in one compact toy. Because it spirals around a rail rather than sitting loose, it stays exactly where it's placed, making it a reliable, everyday companion at home or out and about.
A simple, well-made toy that supports a baby's earliest reaching and grasping attempts, and exactly the kind of considered, versatile sensory toy we're glad to include in an OT-curated store.
Please note: for safety, this toy should be attached out of your child's direct reach, and removed once your little one starts trying to get up on hands and knees in a crawling position, to prevent the risk of entanglement. Adult assembly required.
What's Included:
- 1 x Soft activity spiral (corduroy/polyester)
- 3 x Attached plush safari friends (alligator, lion, elephant)
Total: 1 piece (spiral with three attached soft toys) Recommended age: 0+ months, under adult supervision — remove once baby begins crawling (see safety note above)
What the OT Says:
As an occupational therapist, I like a toy like this activity spiral because it's so adaptable, it goes wherever baby goes, and asks nothing of a caregiver beyond attaching it once. That makes it an easy, low-effort way to build in small, regular opportunities for sensory and motor practice throughout the day.
Each of the three soft friends offers a slightly different shape and texture to explore, which supports early tactile sensory processing. Because they're fixed in place along the spiral rather than loose, baby can return to the same friend again and again, building familiarity while still having variety to choose between, a nice balance for early sensory learning.
Reaching toward, batting at, and eventually grasping each soft toy gives baby valuable early practice in hand-eye coordination and reach-and-grasp development.
Because the spiral holds everything at a consistent, predictable position, baby also gets the chance to build a mental map of where each friend is early spatial awareness that develops through repeated, playful reaching rather than any formal teaching.
Like any toy attached to a cot or pram rail, this one does come with an important safety consideration: it should be removed once a baby starts trying to get up on hands and knees, to avoid any risk of entanglement, With that in mind, I'd happily recommend this as an easy, versatile sensory toy for the early months at home or on the go.
Let customers speak for us
Thank you for all the free recourses. 💚
I bought this for my son as a level up from stacking cups. The cars add a fun element and I love that he can play with them on the train track too!
My 20 month old loves this shape sorter! It’s stimulating and looks great on his toy shelf.
I bought this ice cream counter for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She and her 5 year old sister absolutely LOVE playing with this. Their mother's reaction was 'WHAT a hit!' The younger one loves to stack and place, the colourful and sturdy pieces, in out of the slots of the counter and this will develop into proper pretend play as she gets older. I can see both girls playing with their ice cream counter for years to come as it will have a long shelf life due to both the quality of the parts and the play interest for a broad age group of children.
Innovative and a GREAT idea to level up the bath toy game!
I bought this outdoor easel for my son, and it has been an amazing addition to our garden playtime. The quality is excellent, and it's sturdy enough to withstand active play outdoors. My son loves spending hours drawing, painting, and using his imagination.
The easel was easy to assemble and has plenty of space for creative activities. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for messy art projects! I love that it encourages creativity, keeps him entertained, and gives him a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
I highly recommend this outdoor easel to any parent looking for a durable, fun, and educational gift for their child.
I love using this in speech therapy as an incentive. The children find it very exciting to lift the discs off the table with the wand. Strong magnet.
I will order from Tiny tree toys again, their service was very professional and friendly.
A really lovely cuddly bedtime cloth - my grandson loves it :-) Good tactile features included that engage baby's senses and provide comfort.
All three of my girls are loving this simple addition to the outside play area. Seems quite strong as I absolutely launch them. Love the fact that the height is adjustable. Great product - Happy.
We absolutely loved the gorgeous gift that we received of the cutest black & white flower bouquet with Afr & Eng gift tags for Mother's Day of 2026!
It was simply lovely and só spot on!
Thank you Tiny Tree Toys! ⚘️
I absolutely love this puzzle, and have purched multiple ones as gifts. It is well crafted, and the wood is neatly rounded off. I'll be honest I've never played the game guidlines included, and rather use it as a catalyst in my creative processes. I love the fact that there are no rules to this, and the opportunity to use it as an expressive tool. My tiny human loves it too, and can play endlessly with captivated imagination.
Absolutely love the wooden stacking toys, I am trying to move away from plastic and purchase better quality educational toys for my baby and this is the perfect shop for that!
Great addition to our light-box and there are more than one of each letter in this set. This gives you more word building opportunities.
Perfect for up to 4 years… great indoors activity
