The Skwish Color Burst rattle and teether from Manhattan Toy is a time honored classic, instantly recognizable, an intriguing blend of ingenious design and developmental function. Soft pastel colors and its one-of-a-kind shape instantly capture baby’s attention. The geometrical shape and colorful beads appeal to a baby's visual and tactile curiosity, making this sophisticated toy a source of wonder and learning. The lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Babies will love “Skwishing” it down and watching it return to its original shape. Skwish is a perfect clutching toy for developing gross motor skills. The beads slide back and forth along the dowels when shaken, producing a very pleasing rattle and allowing baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect. The spatial and tactile elements have been shown to be helpful to those on the autism spectrum. Skwish is carefully constructed of sustainable wood and features a non-toxic, water based finish. In very nice previously owned condition.
