Manhattan Toy Skwish Colour Burst Rattle and Teether Grasping Activity Toy, 15.25 x 15.25 x 15.25 centimeters

We absolutely love this Artful Skwish toy. Great for rattle and teether! Bought it when my baby was 7 months old, and it quickly became a favorite. The lightweight design with the strings makes it easy to grab, and the gentle sound when shaken keeps little ones engaged. We also love that it’s collapsible when pressed, adding to the fun sensory experience, more importantly it’s safe, won’t break as the strings are stretchy. We chose the artful wooden version for its classic colour look, and it’s held up beautifully, even as a deco at home! A great buy and a perfect gift for little ones! Highly recommend.

Highly recommend it as a first toy for a newborn!

Amazing for tiny hands to grab and for teething. My little man loves it.

My 7 month old has had this toy since birth and still loves playing with it. When he was newborn he was intrigued by it as the wooden balls make a light sound as they travel along the sting. As he got bigger it became a nice sized target for him to practice grabbing and relieve his itchy gums. And now he's still finding new ways to explore it... I've watched him play with it for 20mins straight without losing interest! I just love that such a simple toy can provide so much fun, I highly recommend.

Firstly, this arrives in a sealed plastic bag rather than a box so it’s not very impressive looking if you’re buying it as a gift. That said, the baby I bought this for didn’t care and loves this little toy. It’s a good size, bigger than I was expecting (about the size of a cantaloupe) and feels well made. My own daughter has a few toys from this manufacturer so I knew it would be good quality. It’s a pity the packaging isn’t that impressive because this really is a great toy that an infant will play with well into toddlerhood and beyond. Just the kind of toy I’d like to receive for my kid. It’s a robust and sturdy toy that is open ended enough to allow for imaginative play when they get to that age.

Well made, colourful and a source of investigative and explorative fun for an inquisitive baby... and inquisitive parents too! It’s described as a ‘rattle’ but it’s not really; the beads bounce off of the strings before they get to the wooden stoppers when they slide up and down, so there’s no ‘clacking’. However, this is no bad thing as it means your baby can play with it for a long time and it won’t get on your nerves. The design means that it can be squashed, pushed and pulled, and when it is shaken the colourful sliding beads draw your baby’s attention. A clever little toy.

Got this for my daughter 2 months ago and it’s her favourite toy, it’s a multi use toy as she uses it as a teether and loves to chew on the wood and I assume the elastic also provides an interesting texture for her as she likes to chew that also. She loves the sound of the beads hitting the end of the sticks when she rattles it and when she falls on the toy it squishes down and there’s no sharp hit for her to hurt herself on, the paint hasn’t flaked off or come off at all and despite heavy daily use there’s no sign of wear and tear, it goes everywhere with us and I don’t regret spending as much as I did on this toy as its 100% worth it

I bought this toy for my son who was 6 months old at the time. Personally I prefer to invest in durable wooden toys instead of plastic ones. This toy has been brilliant! It's easy for him to hold onto, even in the early days. He loves using it as a teether. Even after a fair amount of chewing the wood is perfectly smooth and nothing has come loose. All in all a great investment for a very reasonable price.
