PlanToys High Contrast Beads Rattle

PlanToys High Contrast Beads Rattle features a smooth wooden ring and soft, high-contrast coloured beads that are gentle on little hands. Designed to engage and entertain, it helps enhance a baby's fine motor skills as they grasp, shake, and explore. The soothing sound and tactile experience encourage sensory development while promoting hand-eye coordination and muscle control. Perfect for newborns and young infants, this rattle is a wonderful tool for early learning and playful exploration. High-contrast colours like black, red, and white are especially beneficial for young babies, as they are easier to see and help develop visual focus. Supports fine motor skill development as babies grasp and shake the rattle. Encourages sensory development and hand-eye coordination through interactive play. High-contrast coloured beads help babies develop visual focus. Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, and water-based dyes. 8cm X 5.3cm X 9.2cm

Designed for the earliest months, this gentle yet engaging rattle invites babies to explore sound, movement and touch. The easy-to-hold wooden ring allows even very young infants to practise gripping, while the contrasting beads draw attention and support early visual tracking. As babies experiment with cause and effect by shaking, turning and mouthing the rattle, they build important foundations for later coordination, communication and play.
