Baby Rattles and Teethers – Soft and Wooden Teethers

About this collection

Rattles and teethers are usually a baby's very first toys. Here you will find light Woopie Baby ball rattles with loops and soft rubber handles, Montessori teethers shaped like a fox and a UFO, a 4-in-1 ball rattle, a Classic World wooden sensory teether and a newborn welcome gift box with ten wooden pieces.

Why babies love rattles

A rattle answers a baby's movement with a sound. This simple cause and effect is one of the first things a baby understands, and it encourages them to reach, grasp and shake again. Following the sound with the eyes trains hearing and attention, and passing the rattle from hand to hand develops coordination.

When teething starts

Many babies begin to chew everything from around four to six months. A teether gives sore gums something safe to press on. Ridged and soft surfaces massage the gums, while a light weight and loops make the toy easy to hold. Most teethers in this collection combine a rattle and a teether in one, so they stay interesting for longer.

Tips for safe use

Choose a teether sized for small hands but too big to swallow, and check it regularly for damage. Wash soft and plastic teethers often; wipe wooden ones with a damp cloth and let them dry. A wooden teether is a natural, plastic-free option for parents who prefer it.

More toys for this age are in sensory toys and toys for 0–1 year olds. A rattle or a gift box is also a sweet idea from gifts under €20.
