Tolo Twist and Turn Rattle
Buying a baby rattle needn't be rocket science, but the right rattle can mean the difference between a dust collector at the bottom of a diaper bag and a fascinating diversion for a fussy baby.

What should you look for in a rattle?

Color: Bold colors are best for stimulating sight. While black and white are preferred for a newborn, a multitude of vivid colors will engage the slightly older baby.

Sound: You'll want a rattle that will stimulate your baby's hearing. Because it makes a noise, he will quickly realize that he can produce a sound as he moves the rattle, but only if the rattle is light enough to grasp.

Texture: Finally, the ideal infant rattle will have different textures to kindle tactile stimulation both with his hands and with his mouth.

The Rattle You've Been Looking For
With its bold primary colors, gentle rattle, raised texture, and easy-to-grasp curves, the Tolo Twist and Turn Rattle is the rattle you've been looking for! The Twist and Turn Rattle encourages grasping and holding and helps develop manipulative skills.

Disappearing and Reappearing Beads
Active Baby, Healthy Brain also suggests that a baby be exposed to toys that show that things that disappear can also reappear; the Twist and Turn Rattle is a marvelous example of that principle.

For 3+ Months
The Tolo Twist and Turn Rattle is a superb baby toy recommended for ages three months and above.
