Wood Baby Rattle Teether by Homi Baby, Perfect Montessori Grasping Teething Toy for Babies, Handmade in The USA, Sealed with Organic Virgin Coconut Oil & Beeswax (Living Coral)

This was a present from my parents for my now 6 month old baby. I myself didn't opt to buy this since it is basic in appearance and I wasn't certain my son would enjoy a non-colorful toy. I did put it on my approved list of gifts earlier on and am thankful I forgot to remove them from the list.When this toy arrived it was scratched at the top of one of the balls as well as at the base of the same ball. When I contacted the company, they promptly sent me a new one, free of defects within a week.My 6 month old has enjoyed playing with this toy for quite some time now. I believe he started grasping toys since the age of 3 or 4 months of age. I think anytime after a baby shows they can grasp a toy is a perfect time to introduce this simple but wonderful rattle.After a couple of months of use my son still plays with this happily when we hand it to him. It is not a toy that loses it's luster. The rings make a soft clacking noise as the rattle is shaken about. There is no actual bell-type rattle sound that comes from the balls at the end. The rattle is sound that is emitted by the rings around the bar in the middle.We have a now 2 year old toddler as well and I do wish I had gotten her this toy two years ago when she was just starting to reach and grasp objects. If I am to misplace this toy, I will be sure to get one for my future babies. Highly recommend!

This rattle is so cute! I really love it! The only thing that was kind of weird about it is that I set it on a stack of papers and then the next time I picked it up, it left a big oil stain on the paper.. so strange! The wood is nice and soft and didn't feel oily though.. but it must have just sept through. I would be careful to have it on a blanket or clothing that it might leave an oil stain!

 Pros:Of great quality as a wood toy, no funny smells.Size fits.Baby loves it. Shake it a lot to make sounds. Very inspirational. check the video for how an infant would interact with it.Cons:Not sure how to clean thoroughly...

My baby seemed to like this rattle. It’s the perfect size for him. Have to return it though because it was chipped and splintered.

This makes a great gift and wonderful play toy for babies. I like that my baby isn't playing with plastic. The rattle offers two chewing/knocking areas (end circles) and the rings offer sound interest as well as visual stimulation. I've been very pleased by the quality of this product. I added coconut oil to the wood to shine and for taste purposes. Two thumbs up.

My 5 month old son loves his rattle. It is so easy to hold and shake. He likes to chew on the ball on the end, but he can't fit the entire thing into his mouth, which I'm happy about.I love the simple and clean design. My only complaint is that the wood is a little rough. I plan to sand it down a little more and finish with some beeswax to smooth it out

Purchased this as an alternative to a colorful stimulating rattle for my 2 month old. She’s starting to grip things but this is just a bit too big for her. She loved the sound of this rattle though when mommy shakes it for her versus her other. I’m sure she will be more interested and able to grip as the weeks go by.

My baby loved this. Not sure if it’s noted in the description or not, but the straight rod in the middle is the only part that appears to be made of walnut. It’s beautiful though. He loves to play with it, and it’s great for teething. Very happy with this purchase.
