How to introduce the activity to your child?
Babies can grasp an object from the moment they are born. This is an involuntary movement called the “grasping reflex”. But, by the time the little ones are three or four months old, they’ll be actively trying to grasp things with better-coordinated movements. Introducing rattles at this stage can be highly beneficial to the child.
Rattles can help a baby develop their senses of sight, sound, taste, smell and texture which is vital to their ability to make sense of the world around them.
During the first three months of your baby’s life, you can shake a rattle to help her experience and perceive sound. Encourage textural perception by gently dragging a soft rattle across a baby’s cheeks or down his legs, so that the child becomes familiar with touch and starts to comprehend differences between touches and textures.
The rattle grows with the child and can be used for music making as the child begins to engage in creative play encouraging more refined and intentional hand movements.
What is included?
A dumbbell shaped rattle with three wooden rings. The stem of the rattle is the perfect size, making it easy for your baby to grasp. The wooden rings in the rattle make a gentle sound when the baby waves it to and fro.
