Why this product

Why this wooden rattle

  • 1

    Light Natural Wood

    Each rattle is turned from solid beech wood and kept light, so little arms can lift, wave and shake it without strain during early play.

  • 2

    Smooth On Sore Gums

    The wood is sanded down with rounded edges and no splinters, giving a firm, even surface for a baby to gum while teeth are coming through.

  • 3

    Soft Rattle Sound

    Wooden beads knock together when a small hand shakes the toy, linking movement to a gentle sound for the first months of sensory play.

  • 4

    Chunky Carved Shapes

    Simple animal and object forms give small fingers an easy hold, and let a grown up and baby name each shape together during floor time.

How it works

How a baby uses it

  • Place it within reach
    1

    Place it within reach

    Keep the rattle close during floor time and tummy time, so it is ready the moment a baby starts reaching out or mouthing their fingers.

  • Let small hands grip
    2

    Let small hands grip

    The chunky carved shape and low weight let a baby wrap their fingers around it and lift it up, which builds the early grip and hold.

  • Shake for the sound
    3

    Shake for the sound

    As the toy moves, the wooden beads knock together and make a soft rattle, linking the movement a baby makes to the sound they hear.

  • Gum the smooth wood
    4

    Gum the smooth wood

    When gums feel sore, a baby can bring the rounded, splinter free wood to their mouth and chew on a firm, even surface during teething.

Benefits

  • Gentle sensory play

    Soft wooden beads link movement to sound, an early step into sound and touch play.
