Most babies are ready for rattles between 3 to 6 months, right around when they start reaching out and exploring objects. Soft, lightweight designs—like those in the Newborn Play or Tummy Time Essentials collection—are perfect for tiny hands beginning to grasp.
Toddlers love to explore with both their hands and mouths. Look for non-toxic materials, smooth edges, and securely enclosed beads or pellets. Our curated sets, such as the Sensory Sound Toys, are thoughtfully designed to ensure both safety and fun.
Rattles do more than just make noise—they encourage motor skills, attention span, and sensory engagement. Many of our rattle designs include twistable parts or textured surfaces to keep curious minds and fingers happily busy.
Absolutely. The gentle sound and repetitive movement can offer comfort, making rattles great for emotional development. Choose soft rattle toys with calming tones—some found in our Soothing Plush Collection are ideal for nap time snuggles too.
Start by placing a soft rattle in their palm, helping them close their fingers around it. This simple act nurtures their hand grasp and sensory curiosity. For toddlers, toys that respond to shaking or turning build engagement and cause-effect learning.
Not quite. Some rattles are perfect for infants below 6 months, while others are made for toddlers who can shake, twist, or spin toys on their own. Our Montessori Kits include age-specific rattle options that grow with your child.
