Beech rings are perfectly ground, do not contain lacquer or paint. The size of the ring is ideal for a small hand, as thanks to the rattles baby learns to capture objects.  Babies like to gnaw and chew rattle's ears, soothing aching gums.  Soft gentle texture of cotton rattle is perfect for tactile stimulation. The crochet rattle helps to develop a baby's fine motor skills. Baby rattle is about 10-12 cm (3.9-4,7 inches) Materials: Yarn: cotton 55% + 45% polyacrylic yarn.
