wood. The tradition of wooden baby rattles continues today. New
generations of babies and their parents love the time-honored toy which

rattles that have changed little from the past. In addition, wooden
baby rattles that are innovative and fresh also take a large portion of

Wooden baby rattles are made
from select hardwoods crafted in woodshops. The most common hardwoods
used are oak, maple and cherry. The use of hardwoods is due to its
durability. Babies are very hard on toys. They hit tables, walls and
anything else in the way. This can break other toys. Wooden baby
rattles can withstand the abuse. The features of wooden baby rattles
also accommodate a baby’s specific needs. The ridges on handles make it
easier for a baby to hold. The wood has been finished smooth and there

finishes.

fashioned into various animals sure to delight a baby. Some examples
include a bird, earthworm, elephant or fish.
