Manhattan Toy Artful Skwish Wooden Baby Rattle and Motor Skill Activity Toy for Infants and Toddlers

She just started grabbing and being interested in toys at 2 months old so this is perfect for her little fingers to grasp! She also loves the noise it makes.

I have twins, but I’m a Montessori mom at heart. I definitely subscribe to the ‘less is more’ philosophy. I don’t buy duplicate toys for my babies, because I think it’s excessive. This is the ONE toy that I’ve ever considered buying duplicates of. Both of my babies are so engaged with it. I love this toy so much. I *might* knock off half a star, only because this toy costs more because it’s wood-look. The non-wood-look version is about $6 cheaper. I was happy paying the extra for the wood look, but was disappointed to know that the darker beads were painted, rather than stained. This doesn’t take away from the functionality of the toy. Overall it looks and feels amazing and is incredibly engaging for my littles. This will be my new go-to baby gift

The baby loves this! He has squished it, thrown it, chewed on it and otherwise put it through the ringer and it’s still in great condition. We love having toys that don’t have flashing lights or make lots of noise but still engage the baby and this does just that.

My son’s new favorite

My almost 3 month old baby’s favorite toy!! Her eyes totally light up when I offer it to her

Love that it looks like home decor and not a bright flashy toy

I wasn’t sure if this toy would be worth $20 so I had it on my list for a while before I finally ordered. It was well worth the price! Beautifully made and my 5 month old LOVES it!

My 3 month old loves this toy! It is easy for her to grasp, makes a fantastic clanking noise, and is big enough for her to grab even when she’s lying on her back. She crams all the little end knobs in her mouth and is using it as a teether. I have visions of one of the end beads popping off and becoming a choking hazard so I check it before giving it to her and don’t let her play with it unsupervised. With that said, it is very well made and feels sturdy. It fits in with the natural, Montessori or Waldorf inspired materials I give her to play with. I’ll definitely be purchasing these as gifts in the future.

Our son has had this for about a month now (from three to four months) and he absolutely loves it. It his favorite toy and we enjoy the natural wood colors

Our favorite toy yet. But more importantly, my sons favorite. It makes noise when the wood goes back and forth, it stretches, it can be used as a teether, helps them develop their motor skills, and best of all it’s nice to look at (as opposed to primary colors in plastic shapes). We take it everywhere with us!
