About this item

  • MULTI-SENSORY WOODEN BABY RATTLE: Classic, multi-sensory wooden rattle encourages reaching and holding activity which are important for gross motor skill development; the lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Safety-rated for newborns and up, the Artful Skwish is carefully constructed of sustainable wood and features a smooth tri-colored exterior surface.
  • CAUSE AND EFFECT WOODEN TOY: The Skwish is surprisingly lightweight, allowing little ones the ease of sliding the wooden pieces back and forth on dowels, producing a very pleasing rattle sound and allowing baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect from activity.
  • DEVELOPMENTAL BABY TOY: Skwish may not turn every baby into a mathematical genius, but every baby can joyfully benefit from its unique developmental features. The highly-regarded design of wood construction and elastic ties allow the unique rattle to flatten, or "squish", and always return to its original shape.
  • HEIRLOOM QUALITY WOODEN TACTILE TOY: The Artful Skwish Rattle has bountiful tactile qualities of smooth, yet perceptible wood grain texture as well as the spongy movement from the elastic bands. Skwish rattles from Manhattan Toy have received numerous accolades and have been favorites of both babies and parents for over 30 years!

    My baby loves to grab this because it is lightweight and she can feel the different textures of the wood and the elastic strings. All the corners are smooth and rounded in case it falls.The high contrast colors make it fun for her to look at (even before she was able to hold objects).It is stretchy with the elastic and makes noises in all directions when the round balls move along the wooden bars.
