Manhattan Toy Skwish Natural Rattle and Teether Grasping Activity Toy

I love how this thing looks. My kid likes it too but he isnt obsessed with it like he is with his silicone chew toys so I took one star away for that. Im thinking about giving it back though just b/c it makes me feel like a good parent to give my kid unpainted wood toys, and I like how fancy it looks scattered among the bright, plastic toys on the floor.

This is a GREAT toy! I was a little concerned at first that my 6 month old might fall onto it and hurt himself but this was constructed for babies. The toy collapses flat in the event that a baby should fall on it. The item is very well made and I love how there is no paint on it and its all natural. The only reason Im giving it one less star is that my son is in the everything in his mouth phase and he seems to be able to push the toy into his mouth and gag himself a little.

I bought it 2 months ago, my son loved it. I loved it until the liltle balls got loose. I had to take the toy away from him.

I was interested in buying this after my infant son kept trying to lean forward to grab the cord for my phone charger, and I saw this and immediately made the connection of my wrapped charger to the connections between the wooden pieces on this toy. It sure is easy to grab for little hands and it is light weight, so it is easy to move around. My son likes to bang it up and down and can do so easily, where it will making small noises for the pieces moving around and also whatever noises that he decides to hit it against. My son was delayed with fine motor skills, so he had trouble holding bigger items, and the strings along this are so easy to hold, that it is a perfect toy for very young babies when they are just starting to hold onto objects and reach for them, the large size makes it an easy target to grab at. It is very durable and made of quality materials. This is an item I will buy for other parents with young infants.

My friend really loved this as a gift at her baby shower and mentioned she didn’t like plastic toys for her baby, so guess that’s a benefit? It was on her registry. It is definitely pretty and fun to hold though, flexible to the touch. Wonder if it will pinch skin but... baby isn’t born yet. Lol

Because of its design, this toy is really easy for young babies to grasp. My baby will hold onto the string parts, stick one of the wooden nubs in her mouth to help soothe her teething pain, and even shake it around or toss it. The thin string parts of the Skwish are easier to grasp for a baby just learning to grab things on her own. The sound it makes when its shaken is quite soothing, not jarring like some other rattles, so this doubles as a rattle, too. Its also great for taking along when youre traveling with your baby. Since its squishable, itll keep nicely in a bag without taking up a lot of space or getting damaged.

Well made. I use as a tensegrity model on anatomy courses.

Baby is mildly interested in it in the beginning...but now not so much.

My 7 month old son likes this toy. It makes noise when he shakes it, he can chew on the ends and the rods, and it squishes so he can keep a hold on it as he crawls.

Cutest baby toy! The subtle sound of the beads is so soothing, I can’t wait for my baby to play with it.
