Review: Solid construction, easy for small hands to grab, non-toxic finish! - I initially saw this toy at my baby's school/day care. I immediately fell in love with it because it looked super easy for his hands to grab and hold on to while rattling the beads that slide back and forth. I also thought it was super cool how the baby can flatten it and move it around as they begin to experience cause and effect, unlike another similar toy which didn't offer any flexibility for little hands.It is constructed of wood but also has those elastic tiles so it can flatten and pop back into the original shape. It is dual purpose as a rattle but also good for teething babies. It is constructed of sustainable wood with a non-toxic, water based finish - so I don't worry when my baby puts it in his mouth. All in all I am very pleased with this toy, how it is constructed, how it fits my little one's hands perfectly, and how it has held up! I would highly recommend! Review: Favorite toy! - This toy is exciting and always catches the attention of my daughter who has had it for a few months now (we got it for her when she was three months old). It makes noise when moved around, the colors are enticing and it is easy for her to hold onto and chew on. The only thing that makes me nervous is the paint job on the wood seems like it could be a little porous in places, but in the description it says that it is safe for children to chew on so I truly hope that it is. I bought a lead testing kit and will absolutely update this review once I test the paint if it comes up positive! She really loves it and it's a cool design, so fingers crossed it is legitimately a safe product. ## Features - MULTI-SENSORY WOODEN BABY RATTLE: This colorful multi-sensory wooden rattle encourages reaching and holding activity, important for gross motor skill development; the lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Safety-rated for newborns and up, the Skwish Classic is carefully constructed of sustainable wood and features a smooth multi-colored exterior surface. - CAUSE AND EFFECT WOODEN TOY: The Skwish Classic is surprisingly lightweight, allowing little ones the ease of sliding the wooden pieces back and forth on dowels, producing a very pleasing rattle sound and allowing baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect from activity. - DEVELOPMENTAL BABY TOY: Skwish may not turn every baby into a mathematical genius, but every baby can joyfully benefit from its unique developmental features. The highly-regarded design of wood construction and elastic ties allow the unique rattle to flatten, or "squish", and always return to its original shape. - HEIRLOOM QUALITY WOODEN TACTILE TOY: The Skwish Classic Wooden Rattle has bountiful tactile qualities of smooth, yet perceptible wood grain texture as well as the spongy movement from the elastic bands. Skwish rattles from Manhattan Toy have received numerous accolades and have been favorites of both babies and parents for over 30 years! - STANDING BY OUR BRAND: If you're reading this, you've found a safe toy from a real company and a brand that cares.

I have this toy and my baby loves it. My only thought, is the paint non-toxic?** A: I'm not sure if the paint is toxic or not, however I believe it wouldn't be toxic. Plus, my baby licked, chewed, & any other possible way she could get it in her mouth & she is perfectly fine. I wouldn't worry about it it is a babies toy for goodness sake **Q: How can you be sure that the wooden balls won't pop off while teething? They are the exact size that could make a baby choke!** A: They don't pop off. Like some of the other comments have said, I can only tell you from experience. And that I had the same reservations. They were very popular around the neighborhood with many of us having kids around the same time. I was lucky enough to have many people to ask and see so many babies play with them first. There was never one issue. Not one. My daughter is now 24 years old. This is my go to gift for babies. As I'm writing this, I just got one for my sister who is due next month. And I'm getting her an extra one for her 6 year old. Technically it's "to have around the house" because the nearly seven year old wouldn't feel good about me buying her a "baby toy". But I know that she'll end up playing with it constantly (as you might) because it's also the ultimate figit toy. I recommend the classic dark and light primary color one over the rest. The way vision develops, dark and light (also red) comes before the ability to distinguish other colors. So the original is really stimulating in that way. The dark and light wood makes sense for that very early vision development, but the classic primary colored version also has that variation between dark and light. I have know idea why the plain and pastel versions even exist. Also, don't be quick to get rid of it when it's time to get rid of the other teething toys and rattles. It's so much more than that. The form captures the imagination. It also helps to develop fine motor skills. Then later, tossed on a shelf or in a toy box, it'll become popular with your kid again at different stages of development and incorporated into play in different ways. As I said earlier, adults end up picking it up from time to time. You'll see what I mean when you get it. **Q: How do you clean this toy? I given this toy by a friend and want to give it a thorough clean before giving it to my teething baby.** A: Interesting question. We were given some Brio trains that were in long term storage and we are questioning how to clean them. The materials are similar to the Skwish toy. My current research suggests either boiling in water for ten minutes or spraying on a 1/2 water/1/2 distilled vinegar solution. The second sounds like a better choice for the Skwish since it has the rubbery cords that might be damaged by high heat. Good luck. This toy is worth the cleaning effort. **Q: If I use this product after the expiration date, will there be any effect?** A: This is a great toy to use… in fact my sensory grandson’s favorite toy. Easy to hold and pick up. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid construction, easy for small hands to grab, non-toxic finish! *by A***R on July 18, 2016* I initially saw this toy at my baby's school/day care.
