RATTLES
Rattles are important toys that every baby should have at least one, as they stimulate their senses such as sight, hearing and touch. By picking it up and shaking it, the rattle helps to improve the baby’s psycho-motor coordination. Furthermore, our rattles can be used as teether toys which help the baby to calm the pain of teething.
At age 3-6 months babies are able to grasp toys and love baby rattles that make noise. Rattles can also be used when they are just born, to help them stimulate sight and hearing. For this reason, we recommend our rattles already from the first days of the baby’s life and they can also be used up to 2 – 3 years of age.
Our rattle teether toys are completely made with natural materials, without the use of chemicals and do not contain any small pieces that can be swallowed by the baby. We do not use plastic and treated materials. Our teether toys alleviate the pain of the first teeth without causing any damage to the gums and teeth.
With our rattles, babies can discover different touches, colors and sounds. They help the baby to improve his psycho-motor skills and also stimulate his imagination. You can read our blog “Childish Imagination”

Encouraging recycling, the use of recycled and untreated materials, such as 100% natural cotton, will ensure that your baby is more empathetic towards the environment and will help improve our planet now contaminated by plastic.
It’s a great way to introduce something they don’t normally have at home. The animal world is very vast and, in this way, they can begin to know it. We want to foster respect for animals as they normally live-in harmony with each other.
