MULTISENSORY INFANT TOY: The classic multisensory grasping rattle encourages grasping and reaching, crucial for gross motor skills. Lightweight wooden dowels, a smooth finish, and elastic bands make it easy for little hands to grip. WOODEN RATTLE FOR BABIES: Surprisingly lightweight, allowing toddlers to easily slide the toys back and forth on the dowels, producing a delightful rattling sound and enabling babies to explore sound and learn cause-and-effect. DEVELOPMENTAL TOY: The beloved design of wooden construction and elastic bands allows the unique shape to flatten or 'squish' and always return to its original form. HEIRLOOM QUALITY WOOD TOY: Not only is The Skwish Color Burst safe thanks to child-safe water-based acrylic paints that remain cured, but it also offers many of the tactile qualities of smooth wood grain.
