The Woopie Baby ball rattle is a toy for the very youngest – from day one. It is a rattle, teether, shape explorer and motor skills trainer in one.

This ball rattle is filled with tiny beads, and its shape and size are designed for a newborn's abilities. Each ring rotates with a distinctive clicking sound, while the beads inside rattle when it is shaken. The handles are made of flexible, soft rubber that is pleasant to hold and chew. The rattle has no sharp edges and can be washed easily and safely. It measures about 10 × 10 cm and suits girls and boys alike.

What your child develops

• Sight, hearing and touch. Colours, clicks and different surfaces engage several senses.
• Fine motor skills. Turning the rings and gripping the handles train the hands.
• Hand-eye coordination. Your baby learns to grab the rattle they see.
• Shapes and colours. The rings and beads introduce shapes and colours.

How to play

In the first weeks, shake the rattle within your baby's view so they follow the sound and colours. Once your baby starts grasping, place it in their hand and let them shake it themselves.

Later your baby can turn the rings and listen to the clicks. When teething starts, the soft rubber handles work as a teether. The rattle is easy to take on walks.

A great gift

The ball rattle is a lovely gift for a newborn – when visiting a family after a birth or for a christening.
