    I love that this is wood and not plastic like everything else! And my infant seems to be mildly entertained by it. The only complaint I have with it is sometimes the baby’s arm can become trapped inside it. Obviously a baby should never be left alone while playing with anything so supervision would make this a non-issue. But, it’s not a toy I would give her in a car seat or something where I can’t be watching her the whole time. It’s not that it would hurt her, it’s just it would be uncomfortable and would cause her to get upset.

    Smaller than expected. Easy for baby to grasp but at 4 months she bangs it into her face a lot. Might end up being a better toy for when she’s older.

    I bought this for my oldest daughter when she was a few months old. The structure of the toy makes it easy for little hands to grasp well before they have the motor control to grasp other toys. I thought that maybe my oldest daughter just preferred this toy, but my son and youngest daughter both started picking this up too around 2-3 months before they could grasp other toys. All my babies seemed to like chewing on the wooden nubs at the end and like the gentle sound it makes when shook. While I wouldnt say that its an overall favorite that we carried around for all of infancy, it does seem to be great for very young babies just learning to grasp. My son still liked it well into 7 months or so. Well see how long my youngest stays interested in it. 3 little teething mouths later, it still looks new. The materials have held up well. I love that all the materials are natural and there is no worry about chemicals in plastic or lead in the paint. We have the Burst painted version....the colors are cheerful and bright and its something I dont mind having out on the floor. I like the look of the natural version and think that my youngest probably wouldnt mind something without color. We have other natural wood toys that she seems just as interested in. I also like that you can squish it flatter to stuff it in a diaper bag, as opposed to some bulkier toys. With our 3 little ones, Ive discovered that some things my oldest loved were uninteresting to my younger ones, and vice versa. When a toy is loved by all 3, I know that its more than just one babys preferences. I highly recommend this toy to people with young infants just learning how to pick things up. I give it 5 stars for a 2 mos - 5 mos old toy.

    One of my sons favorite toy. The all natural finish gives me a piece of mind as my son chews on it. The thin elastic wires built his confidence in grabbing things, now he can grab the round knobs and also the thicker sticks. The should it makes is also very pleasing.

    Its great and we made but our baby barely engaged with it.

    The item is held together by a material that makes it bounce a little, which my son enjoys. Also some of the balls move. It is a very fun simple toy, which Ive learned is exactly what babies like.

Skwish from Manhattan Toy is a time-honored classic, instantly recognizable, an intriguing blend of ingenious design and developmental function. The geometrical shape and interconnecting wooden dowels have long piqued the curiosity of adults – imagine how it must appear to a baby as they begin to experience the world around them?

Its natural finish and one-of-a-kind shape instantly capture baby’s attention. The lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Babies will love “Skwishing” it down and watching it return to its original shape – Skwish is a perfect clutching toy for developing gross motor skills. The Skwish produces a very pleasing rattle and allowing baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect.
