Bannor Toys Whale Wooden Baby Rattle

A baby rattle is one of the first objects a child ever chooses to hold, which is a good argument for it being a nice one. This wooden rattle is shaped as a whale, and the shape does real work: an easy silhouette for small hands to close around, and an easy thing to name out loud over and over again.

A wooden baby rattle has a different presence from a plastic one. It has a little weight to it, it makes a softer sound across a quiet room, and it looks like something worth keeping in the memory box long after the rattling years are over. That is why a wooden rattle turns up so often on baby shower gift tables and in new baby gifts, where the parents already own plenty of noisy things.

Bannor Toys makes it, and we carry it for the same reason we carry everything in our baby range: it is the version you would be glad to be handed.
