Description

At 4-months-old, baby probably enjoys reaching out to grab their toys. But grasping objects is a skill that needs to be developed. Enter: The Oball Shaker Toy. This rattle is shaped like a dumbbell and has large finger holes that are easier for infants to grip onto. "The ends of this rattle make it easy for their little fingers to hold onto it," confirms mom of four Jennifer W. "As a result, this rattle was actually the only rattle that my baby was able to hold onto herself for more than a few seconds at a time," she continues.The central column is clear, so baby can see the rattle beads moving around inside. "The colorful beads on the inside make a soft rattle sound when shaken, which can help baby learn cause and effect," notes Jennifer, explaining that the muted sound isn’t too loud or overstimulating for young babies. These thoughtful yet simple design features promote motor skills, encouraging baby to grasp and shake to stimulate multiple senses. One mom who responded to our survey told us how the Oball Shaker Rattle helped promote motor skills, saying her son "used to catch his fingers in the end and grab on and now has developed the ability to grasp the middle of the rattle."
