PlanToys High Contrast Square Clutcher

PlanToys High Contrast Square Clutcher. This is a flexible, square-shaped wooden toy featuring colourful red, white, black, and grey beads that slide and rattle. As babies grip and squeeze its bendable frame, it helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The rattling sounds support auditory development, while the toy encourages tactile exploration, bilateral coordination, and cognitive growth through cause-and-effect learning, offering complete sensory stimulation. High-contrast colours are especially beneficial for young babies, as they are easier to see and help develop visual focus. 9.8 cm X 8.5 cm X 5.25 cm.

Thoughtfully designed for the very youngest learners, this engaging clutcher is ideal for tummy time, floor play and early exploration on a mat. The smooth wooden frame is easy for small hands to grasp, while the flexible shape invites squeezing, twisting and shaking. As babies watch the beads slide and hear them rattle, they begin to understand that their actions make things happen. This simple yet powerful experience supports early thinking skills and builds confidence as they explore sound, movement and touch in a safe and engaging way.
