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!
- STANDING BY OUR BRAND: If you're reading this, you've found a safe toy from a real company and a brand that cares. Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been a trusted source of imaginative toys for babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. All of our toys are rigorously safety tested and every toy has our 800 number with a dedicated customer support team to answer your call.

Oh and don’t leave it around dogs! They’ll chew on it thinking its a toy unfortunately, the one that just got messed up from the diaper is our 2nd one because our dogs chewed through the 1 st one. They’re durable for babies not for dogs hahah

Die Farben sind sehr schön hell und es ist super zu greifen.
Hier absolut beliebt bei Eltern und Kind.
ITA: Preso per mio diletto personale. Viene pubblicizzato come gioco per bambini, ma è abbastanza ipnotico anche per un adulto. L'ho preso come una sorta di amuleto. Un rimando al concetto della tensegrità, o integrità tensionale, ovvero: un sistema composto da elementi cilindrici ed elementi elastici, disposti in modo tale da stabilizzare la struttura che concorrono a creare. Una metafora della vita stessa, del funzionamento del corpo e della psiche.
